Reading the comments following blog Thomas Lifson\u2019s Saturday article<\/a> on the latest Dem\/media sleaze attack upon a Republican political figure, Congressman Jim Jordan, I found one that immediately resonated with me as perhaps significantly consequential to the coming election and even farther into the future. Commenter Skeptic wrote:<\/p>\n

My rule is that if it comes from the legacy media, it is false. My new policy is to not care what is said about Trump or his supporters or even whether it is true or not. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and nothing else matters. In this case nothing deserves a second look. It is all lies. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That 21st Century declaration of independence from malicious media mind control gripped me because it so letter-perfectly described my own response to this latest campaign by the media and the Democrat dirty operations, and I suspect that of millions of other Americans. We are fed up with this endless parade of sleazy character assassins and their claims of past sexual sins against Donald Trump or other Republicans that the liberal media always take between their teeth and romp with, ever so gleefully. <\/p>\n

What the so-called legacy media now has left to chew on is their shabby legacy of distrust and disbelief, having squandered that most precious coin of the realm, public trust. When even long time Democrats finally are turning away from the party in disgust, appalled by such seedy tactics and shameful media slander, perhaps it is time for those who control the output of these media organizations to heed a bit of ancient wisdom. Both media moguls and Democrat leaders should ponder the biblical admonition that \u201cThe wages of sin are death,\u201d for surely their treachery is destroying their followings as the #WalkAway movement is demonstrating, a phenomenon that is as much about distrust of the media as it is about the loony leftism of the party. While they\u2019re pondering, those same leaders might also give some consideration to Aesop\u2019s fable about the boy who cried wolf until no one believed him.<\/p>\n

If Skeptic\u2019s creed is as widely representative of the American populace as I suspect, then it shows that the socialist fanaticism adopted by the Democrats and their media mouthpieces has finally succeeded in destroying their own credibility outside their urban liberal enclaves and in the process the continued viability of both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
