If you had nothing better to do yesterday than to watch the Stupor Bowl–really: no sock drawers to sort out? no paint to watch drying?–you probably saw a commercial by the Washington Post citing a number of journalistic martyrs who died or disappeared in the line of duty (http://www.therepublic.com/2019/02/03/us-super-bowl-super-bowl-ads-the-latest/). Narrated by left-wing actor Tom Hanks, who used to be funny, way back when, the ad concludes with the WaPo motto, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”
Gimme a break.
Didn’t we just see CNN list a disgraced Democrat governor as a Republican? Didn’t the nooze media just report that President Trump ordered his lawyer to lie to investigators–a whopper big enough to move witch-hunter Robert Mueller to declare the story “not accurate”? Didn’t they just try to put over a fictitious “FBI report” that Donald Trump is working as a Russian agent? And then there was that malarkey they spouted about the kids from Covington Catholic High School being racists-biggits-haters.
But we could list nooze media lies all day long and not run out of them.
In fact, WaPo, “democracy” dies when it submerges itself in lies, hysteria, panic, and aggressive ignorance–as ancient historians like Polybius, Plutarch, and Thucydides, and our own country’s founders, knew very well: which is why they took such care to give us not a “democracy,” but a republic.
For our totally unreliable, Democrat Party shill nooze media to try to win us over by trotting out a roll call of murdered journalists is every bit as revolting as some sleazy televangelists likening themselves to the early Christian martyrs.
I wonder how many dozens of viewers fell for this last night.
