Use Your Purchasing Power

Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, andHillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it.
The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations.
The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.
The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

We have been writing for a long time, as have many others, about the phony objectivity in MSM. The above quote is just another piece of evidence. Early in the primary we were censored and warned by Google for writing material that in essence didn't meet their standards of acceptable material.
Someone supposedly complained. The article in question is related to the above quote. Our cardinal sin is we questioned a Los Angeles Times hatchet job during the Iowa primary that depicted a middle aged, Caucasian tow truck driver the Times reporter obviously picked to ride around with and interview.

Trump had little traction then, was still viewed as a joke by MSM and the media was determined to paint a picture he appealed only to white middle-aged uneducated xenophobes and gun nut ignoramuses. It was a pathetic, biased piece that was not even deserving the name of journalism. That the mighty Los Angeles Times felt the need to run such a story told you pretty much what you needed to know about the so-called elite press in this country.

The reporter even saw the need to make an issue of the tow truck driver's grammatical errors in an obvious mean-spirited display of elitism. The so-called editors at the Times signed off on the story. The  1960s cartoon character Pogo was wrong. We have met the enemy and it isn't us. It's MSM.

This isn't news. What is news is the press must be held responsible for their actions, accountable for their arrogant deception. A peaceful way is the boycott. Refuse to purchase from any company, large or small, that provides them with advertising revenue. Cancel subscriptions, boycott their websites. They had no compunction a about purposely lying, twisting and covering up facts.  Show them the real meaning of their first love, zero tolerance for anyone who happens to differ with them.

Join together and get a nation wide boycott started. Use your purchasing power. They might begin to hear you then, not that that will change them. Bankruptcy will be a far more telling experience.
