Mainstream Media Destroys Its Remaining Credibility

Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance

The mainstream media is having one final hysterical meltdown that is likely going to cost it the rest of its credibility with independent viewers and critical thinkers.

And the last ironic act of the Democratic-run media machine will not only be to self-immolate preaching about “saving Democracy”, but to do so in order to defend a generally unlikeable candidate that’s never won a primary.

It isn’t just fun to watch the mainstream media squirm because it indicates that the particular political party I’m voting for is making headway; it’s also because of the consequences that come with an out-of-control and panicked media.

When the media throws a massive, unhinged temper tantrum—like they did over Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally this past week—it accomplishes two things.

First, it recalibrates the media even further to the left side of the political aisle, ensuring they will lose the viewership (and likely the votes) of those further left in the center-left area of the political spectrum. Every day, the mainstream media behaves so bizarrely that it can’t help but open the eyes of many in the center-left who have otherwise already been ‘captured’ by legacy media.

Second, it simply encourages more of their viewers to switch to alternative media. There’s a reason the Donald Trump interview on Joe Rogan was the most sought-after interview of the presidential election cycle, and there’s a reason both Trump and J.D. Vance went on a podcast tour as part of their campaigns: these alternative content producers are not only where audiences are now, but where audiences are going and growing.

The journalistic liberties and exaggerations taken with rhetoric and left-wing talking points, many backed by anonymous sources, are being seen for what they are: lies.

Take, for example, this past week’s absolute obsession with comparing Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to a Nazi rally. Most of my readers know this is an unhinged comparison from the get-go — but what about that earnest independent or left-wing voter who believed the media’s narrative that it was some kind of hate-fueled fascist meetup?

Imagine their thoughts when the rally, initially cast as some kind of anti-Semitic KKK Groupon event, was followed by photos on social media showing Israeli flags nand Jewish attendees wrapping Tefillin and praying.

I can only imagine several people were red-pilled by this, because even the most delusional left-wingers can’t ignore what is clearly in front of their eyes.

Meanwhile, this is actually how MSNBC covered the political event on its airwaves - which featured...(READ THIS FULL ARTICLE, FREE, HERE)
