“Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?” screeched never-president Hillary Clinton in September 2016 as her campaign barreled toward a hilarious loss to a bright-orange real estate mogul best known for firing random people on television.
“We’re doing our best!” replied every left-wing journalist as they peddled half-rate, nonsensical propaganda about Russian prostitutes and whatever else the Democratic National Committee had cooked up for breakfast that morning. The media’s lies fell on deaf ears in 2016, and while voters were more susceptible to leftist propaganda during the 2020 election cycle following months of constant fearmongering and, in some areas, what essentially became prolonged statewide house arrest during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unlikely that the propagandists’ tricks will be as effective this time around.
In the music business, when a band is in a recording studio, record producers quip that it is their job to “polish the turd,” especially if they are working with a group of young men who may or may not spend a little too much time partying when they should have been perfecting their craft. Corporate journalists believe it is their job to polish every turd that comes out of the Democratic Party, but unfortunately for them, there is simply no polishing President Joe Biden.
The president’s goose is cooked. We know it, the regime knows it, and the journalists who cover the news for a living certainly know it. Biden’s “basement campaign” in 2020 shielded him from scrutiny, but despite the White House’s best efforts, it is impossible to hide the president of the United States in the basement forever.
Biden turns 82 in November, and aside from his clear and obvious mental decline, he has presided over a terrible economy fueled by record-high inflation, a disastrous foreign policy headlined by his botched Afghanistan withdrawal, and an expensive, plodding war in Europe with no end in sight. Biden managed to anger just about everyone with his decision to fund both sides of the war in Gaza.
With no real accomplishments and an approval rating that rivals that of most venereal diseases, Biden has left his dutiful press corps with one option: lie and lie some more.
Perhaps journalists simply aren’t as crafty as they used to be, or they lie so often that they sometimes forget to make the lies believable, but the lies coming from corporate media regarding Biden’s mental decline are pathetic. The press have resorted to claiming that raw, unedited videos of the president experiencing senior moments are selectively edited.
Journalists are all too happy to parrot White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s lie that clips of Biden freezing up at the G7 summit are “cheap fakes video” — her words, not mine. Journalists sprinted to their laptops and TV cameras to claim that former President Barack Obama did not, in fact, have to lead a confused Biden off the stage like a child at a Democratic fundraiser when the footage clearly shows that he did.

This is not “spin” or an example of the media’s normal “left-wing bias.” Journalists are insulting your intelligence — they want you to believe their propaganda over your own eyes. Biden has left them with no choice other than to bet the farm on the notion that voters are stupid.
It is incumbent on you, the voter, to prove them wrong both at the ballot box and in where you choose to get your news. I would suggest excluding the liars and hacks who view you as a knuckle-dragging moron for opposing their destructive leftist worldview.
