The Mainstream Media has died from a terminal case of TDS combined with an aggressive infection of the woke-mind virus. The MSM, as it was nicknamed by its critics, was first diagnosed with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) in 2016 when it couldn’t accept that Donald Trump won the presidency, beating the projected winner and war criminal Hillary Clinton. Critics of the MSM say that the slow painful death was both ‘deserving’ and ‘a long time coming.’
Starting in the 1920s with broadcast radio, the MSM grew into a respected and trusted source of news and information during the Golden Age of television in the 1950s, thanks to luminaries such as broadcast journalists Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Fred Friendly. Remembered fondly for giving a voice to the voiceless and holding truth to power it later devolved into The View’s Joy Behar lecturing her viewers about vaccines and dragons.
Tuning into the Manosphere
The death of the MSM was widely celebrated in the podcast and alternative media world. Dragon believer and podcaster Joe Rogan said: “It’s so possible that something that flew like a pterodactyl, like we think of pterodactyls as being like bat wings, maybe they had feathers, maybe that was a gigantic predatory bird and maybe some of those things looked like dragons.” He also once murdered CNN Medical Expert Dr. Sanjay Gupta on his podcast.
Rogan’s unlikely ascent from comedy podcaster to un-cancellable media empire of one boils down to the fact that Rogan, untrained in journalism or broadcasting, had a quality that the MSM had forgotten, the ability to listen. Rogan and others like him such as the Nelk Boys, Theo Von, Candace Owens, Adin Ross, and the even edgier James Evan Pilato never shied away from entertaining alternative views and perspectives and interviewing sources the MSM labeled ‘dangerous’ such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Yeonmi Park and Jordan B. Peterson and even, yes, Donald J. Trump.
The tell-tale signs of TDS had been obvious to viewers for years. Bias, left-wing activism, and elites talking to themselves were all hallmarks of the disease that led to the MSM actually being beaten in the ratings by the Hallmark channel itself. Some TV viewers say that TDS was only part of the health issues MSM was suffering from and that they were in fact the ones who pulled the plug when they cut the cord from cable in favor of alternative Internet media.
Chuck Your Sources
The shifting nature of viewing habits may also have played a part in viewers no longer sitting down with the 6 o’clock news. Podcasts and Youtube videos have given consumers the choice to watch or listen to information at their own time, while washing the dishes, going for a walk, or even taking a dump.
With trust in media at an all time low due to its lies over COVID, drag time story hour, the popularity of Kamala Harris, immigration and the economy, it was Tesla founder Elon Musk who gave an eclectic boost of life to free speech when he bought Twitter in 2022. It was Musk who allowed Substack journalist Matt Taibbi to expose Twitter’s secret internal files, proving the cover up of media manipulation by the government, public institutions, and even the FBI.
After a decade of calling Trump ‘Hitler’ and a ‘Nazi’ the American public slowly realized that by extension that’s what they were calling them. They really were Fake News and the Enemy of the People. It was at this point that viewers changed the channel and stopped giving their life force to the parasite known as the MSM.
Good night and good luck
The MSM is survived by Chris Cuomo, who suddenly found out vaccines weren’t safe or effective when he was fired from CNN, that one local news hot weather girl who never mentions climate change, and the cursed horn rimmed glasses that are controlling Rachel Maddow.
Elon Musk who was with the MSM when it passed tweeted that with its last dying breath it said to the millions of users on X: “You are the media now.”
