Following eight glorious years of covering Crown Prince Barack Obama, everything changed in an instant for the Democrat Party's sycophantic legacy media. Brash, unafraid Republican Donald Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, as all hell broke out in the so-called "mainstream" media.
It wasn't supposed to happen. Hillary was the anointed heir to Obama's gilded throne, but the American people saw it otherwise. The media were enraged.
NBC News, ABC News, and CBS News, along with the likes of CNN — the self-anointed "Most Trusted Name in News" — and the smug hypocritical scolds of MSNBC had to take action. That action consisted of attacking Trump at every concocted opportunity and suppressing conservative news and opinion at a new height.
Yep, despite the media's love affair with Harris and loathing of Trump, it was like 2016 all over again, except this go-around, the 47th president wields far more power than during his first term, and the media knows it.
Another One Bites the DustAs the ratings of the aforementioned networks continue to swirl down the toilet faster than left-wing flamethrower and independent filmmaker Michael Moore can gulp down a sack of McDonald's Double Quarters Pounders with Cheese, once-prominent on-air "talents" are falling like flies.
In the latest and arguably most glorious example, "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell bid farewell to her viewers for the last time on Thursday night as she stepped down from her role amid a wave of sweeping changes at the network. As she announced her departure, O'Donnell called her role "the honor of a lifetime."
If O'Donnell drew "so many viewers," why have the show's ratings continued to decline? I got this one: because, as I suggested earlier, there is only so much trashing of Trump, ridiculing of his followers, kissing Kamala Harris' ring, and pushing left-wing content like nobody's business that objective viewers with a brain can take.
And if "journalism matters" to O'Donnell and the legacy media, why have they continued to bastardize journalism to the point of blatant absurdity by carrying the Democrat Party's water while bashing Trump and the Republicans ad nauseam?
And "hard news," Norah? Please. Your "hard news" consisted of making a mockery of the news.
O’Donnell announced in July that she would leave the anchor chair and her role as managing editor of "CBS Evening News" after the November election to focus on an "expanded role" at CBS (I love it when they attempt to rationalize their departure with the whole "expanded role" nonsense) amid struggling viewership, as reported by the New York Post.
In related news, as I reported on Thursday, TDS-riddled Jim Acosta’s days at CNN may be numbered. The former White House correspondent, known for his antagonistic coverage of President Trump, "may exit" the failing network rather than accept a demotion to a midnight time slot.
Meanwhile, the new Golden Age of Trump is upon us. Stay tuned.
