For sake of those years and decades from now who won't know what I'm talking about (because it will have been long forgotten), today is the day when a second "No Kings" protest is being had across the country. This is going to be the latest in a series of allegedly "home-grown activism" by leftists who can't stop being bitter because President Donald Trump won the 2024 election over Kamala Harris (thank God she wasn't elected).
I could say much about the events scheduled for today. About how they are not "organic" at all but are being organized and funded by evil men like George Soros. I could note that these "protests" will do absolutely nothing because they are in the end about nothing. They are only a tempter tantrum without defined purpose.
I could say much. But I'm choosing to home in on what is to me anyway the worst thing about the "No Kings protests" set for today...
Mainly, how much the mainstream press has abandoned all pretense of objectivity and gone all-out overboard in promoting the event.
Since early yesterday my Facebook feed has become loaded with news outlets instructing readers and viewers about the "No Kings" stunt, letting it be known in no uncertain terms where the marches are going to be, how to plan for them and what to bring, etc. They are also making it quite clear that this is a protest against Donald Trump and his policies, that it's "anti-fascist" (whatever that means)...
Where were these people when there were protests against Joe Biden when he was president? Because there were some. Where have these same media outlets been when groups such as March for Life have rallied against abortion?
We all know the answer, even if some live in denial of it. It's because in vast part there is no free and unbiased press in America (or in most other places in the western world). Our "journalists" are in the tank for liberalism/leftism/socialism and they will do absolutely anything they can get away with doing to promote that ideology.
It's no secret that the press hates Trump and his supporters. But I've never seen it so blatant as it has become in the past few days, with so many media outlets tooting the horn for "No Kings". Television stations, the networks, the print outlets... with very few exceptions they've dropped all pretense of being fair and balanced. I'm sure they think they are taking up a noble cause, and that's why they are justifying their bias, but in truth they are only hitching themselves to partisan politics and screw all notion of journalistic ethics.
I'm not a die-hard Donald Trump supporter. You'll never see me wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat. I don't believe in throwing in completely behind any elected official or other leader and that is what too many have been doing with Trump. I will say that he has earned my respect on many issues, especially when it comes to defending American sovereignty at our borders. I don't think most other Americans are quite fully in line behind Trump either, and that's a healthy thing. And we especially see what's going on with the press.
The subjectivity that most of the media is demonstrating in regard to "No Kings" should disturb anyone who still holds that the press in any way can be trusted at all. This is not news that they are disseminating. It is propaganda. And there is no reason why they should be granted accommodation by this administration or any other.
