BRILLIANT !!!

Folks – enjoy this, we are watching a masters’ hand play the insufferable media like a gifted prodigy plays a Stradivarius.  It is a thing of beauty.

In response to Donald Trump’s lawful, constitutional, and prudent proposal to halt Muslim immigration the media are actually saying:

…”if you aren’t nice to moderate Muslims they’ll stop being moderate and murder you”..

Let that sink in for a few minutes.

The White House via Josh Earnest, and House Speaker Paul Ryan have also fallen into the trap of their own echo chamber.   Trump is not separating or dividing classes of citizenry –  he’s dividing the pontificating class of fools from the rest of common sense patriotic America.

Everything Trump has proposed about Muslim Immigration is constitutional and reasonable.  The apoplectic response from the entire machine that opposes him is what actually strengthens him – it isolates him from the attack.

Do you remember that scene in the movie Spartacus when the crowd turns from cheering for the customary and anticipated defeat,  to all of a sudden supporting the single man standing as a representative image of strength against the corruption both inside and outside the Coliseum.  Trump has created that moment politically.

Here’s the Rush Limbaugh segment from earlier today:

rush-limbaughRush Limbaugh […]  Everybody, everybody — now Paul Ryan has joined in — everybody condemning Donald Trump. The conventional wisdom is that Donald Trump’s insane, he’s a lunatic, crazy. This is dangerous. This is bad. It’s un-American. It’s unacceptable. He’s gotta go.

[…]  You Republicans, you can denounce Trump all day, all week, all month, and the Democrat Party and the media are still gonna say you laid the table for it. You can condemn Trump all you want, but it is not going to buy you any love or respect or admiration from the Drive-By Media and the Democrats. Now, folks, the conventional wisdom is that Trump is scum, that Trump is a reprobate, that Trump is dangerous, that Trump is obscene, Trump’s insane, Trump’s a lunatic, Trump’s dangerous, Trump’s got to go. Why join that phrase? Why join that crowd? We never fall in with conventional wisdom here.

I want to look at this in a little different way, as I’m wont to do, and I want to look at the politics of this. And I want to remind you late last week, middle part of last week and end of late last week, I started what I intended to be a pretty in-depth discussion of how it is that Donald Trump owns the media. I made the point to you last week that that is the one factor that has upset everything else in this presidential campaign. Despite what you might think about the Republican Party being the opposition party to the Democrats, the Democrats being the opposition to the Republicans.

Inside the Beltway, the Washington establishment, the establishment is aligned and unified on a number of things, Republicans and Democrats alike. And one of those things on which they’re aligned is that the Drive-By Media is an acceptable, coequal branch of what they do. They accept the media as, for lack of a better term, the great equalizer. The media is always the institution that makes or breaks people. If the media wants to make somebody, they can, and it’s allowed. If the media wants to take somebody out, it’s allowed, and they try and oftentimes get away with it.

They can’t embarrass him. They can’t diminish his support. They’re powerless, and this has them in a panic. The media that can make-or-break anybody cannot touch Trump, and every time they try, all they do is make him bigger. They can’t explain this. They are frustrated to no end, and so are both political parties who rely on the media to be the great equalizer in all of this.

Nothing’s working. No matter what Trump says, the media is there, and every member of the media is there. Every network, every camera, every microphone is there. Last Friday night Trump was in Raleigh, North Carolina. Reuters lied. Reuters even tried lying to destroy Trump. They ran a story claiming that Trump’s performance and his appearance were shut down by Black Lives Matter protesters. MSNBC ran with it.

I happened to see it, a little blurb on Apple news while I was sitting at home minding my own business, bothering nobody. I said, “Wait a minute. Why isn’t this all over the place? This is what everybody been dreaming of: Trump humiliated, Trump shut down, Trump forced to leave the stage. Why haven’t I heard this anywhere?” The reason: It didn’t happen. Reuters made it up. People who were there have now testified to what happened. They can’t even get rid of Trump by making up bad stuff about him.

But what really frustrates them, is they can’t get rid of Trump by simply repeating what he says. Trump has direct access. Trump did not need the media in order to be heard, in order to have his message flavored and formed for proper receipt by the audience. He has direct access. He doesn’t need them. He can go right over their heads. It may be true to say that the Drive-By Media has covered politics, for better or worse, in a predominant way for years and years and years — and that’s the horse-race aspect.  (read more)
