The role Citizen Journalists play in downfall of Media Elite



In their haste to convict President Donald "The Hammer" Trump of treason and have him executed forthwith, everybody around him has been attacked. 

Because of their association with Trump each and every one has been painted with a target.

From his youngest son, Barron, only 11, scared out of his mind when he saw his father's severed head held by The Z-Lister Who Shall Not Be Mentioned By Me. To all his other children, and their spouses and children. To his ex-wives whether or not they live in Texas. To all his business associates, friends, dog walkers, employees, maids, and any descendant of any nanny who may or may not have changed his nappies. Targets, all.

Fifty-three-year-old Anthony Scaramucci had just such a target on him. Of course, deny all you want, but how does one prove a negative? "Sir, when did you stop beating your wife?" implies you are beating your wife and denial only makes you look like you're hiding a dark secret. So Scaramucci was screwed and just had to ride out the attack. Which he did, publicly accepting the apology from CNN. 

"The Hammer" doesn't play games. He calls it like it he sees it. We all know fake news exists, but when Trump called it fake, we cheered and our hearts swelled. 


Finally! Somebody with guts. 


Whoppers are nothing new in the mainstream media (MSM) news game. Hey, the rallying cry of "if it bleeds, it leads" has become the lesser poetic and not-so-sexy "if it fits our Socialist Media Elite narrative, we must parrot and convict." 

Interesting thing, though: MSM is beginning to take pot shots at itself while still trying to be good little Socialists. Read this from TheGuardian.com about Scaramucci, the story retraction, and the three journalists' resignations:
The story was quickly questioned both internally and externally, including by the conservative site Breitbart News. It was determined that the story was posted without going through the expected checks and balances for one of such sensitivity, the executive said. 
The failure to follow proper procedures is what led to the resignations, the CNN executive said. It’s not immediately clear what in the story is factually incorrect, or whether CNN would continue to report on the issue.

But that isn't the big story here. The big story is that mainstream media is not so easily getting away with telling those whoppers. 

Why would CNN, so overtly lying through their teeth for over a year now, suddenly yank a story and fire...errrr...accept the resignations of three journalists? CNN would have you believe they retracted the story because they voluntarily did a review and found the story wanting. You know, the old "see how honorable we are?" routine.


Bullsh...errrr...bull crap. 


The reason CNN was so quick to withdraw that story is because Citizen Journalists by the thousands have been holding MSM's feet to the fire using the dual and mighty powers of pen and technology to read, research, and rebut. 

Many of Citizen Journalists have had social media titans turn on them, regularly withholding their announcements about ready-to-read-and-share articles on politically incorrect websites. (By "politically incorrect" I mean to say disapproved by the ruling elite.) 

So, kudos to the Citizen Journalists.
