#FakeNews media condemns truth in advertising

The #FakeNews media have already begun shaping the battlefield for the 2020 elections.  They're doing so by laying the ground work to support their claim that publicly stating what Democrats say they believe in is unfair and bigoted.  They're also declaring that raising questions about things that female Democrat candidates have done is sexist.

Essentially the #FakeNews media is declaring that any fact based criticism of any Democrat candidate is intrinsically hateful and biased.

It's clear why they're doing this. Bill Maher, whose as left as they get, has said that every Democrat Presidential candidate is going to have a history of racism, criminal activity, or lying to exploit minorities.  But if every Democrat candidate is carrying that sort of historical baggage as well as supporting infanticide and socialism the only way any of them will win is if discussing that they truly believe in is declared off limits.

The New York Times is declaring that Republicans pointing out what Democrats say they believe in is "demonizing" Democrats.  The examples used by the NYT to show that Republicans are "demonizing" Democrats are:
  • Republicans pointing out that some of the most visible faces of the Democrat party are calling themselves socialists; people like Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders
  • Republicans pointing out that like Obama many Democrats, including Virginia Governor Northam, support the killing of born babies.
  • Republicans pointing out that famous Democrats, like Ilhan Omar, are virulently anti-semitic.
The problem for the NYT is that all of those statements are true and you can't demonize someone if you're telling the truth about them.  No Republican is saying that all Democrats hold those positions but it is true that those positions do appear to be the ones supported by the party in general.  Just look at how Democrats are falling over themselves to embrace the socialist Green New Deal or how they celebrated when New York made it legal to kill fully viable babies while the mother is in labor--and how they decriminalized murdering an unborn baby against the wishes .

It's true that Pelosi did castigate Omar for her overt and blatant Jew hatred but Omar still has her plumb assignment on the Foreign Affairs committee; essentially the Democrats are giving Omar a pass.

Interestingly the NYT has not written about how Democrats calling all Republicans "racist, homophobic, white nationalists, who hate women" is demonization.  Probably because the folks at the NYT think that's a factual statement.

The Washington Post is leading the charge to declare that any criticism of any female Democrat presidential candidate is sexist.  The examples the WaPo invokes are:
  • Discussing the fact that Wille Brown has said he rewarded his mistress, Kamala Harris, with cushy government jobs and that he started her political career as another reward is sexist as though the issue is her sex not her acceptance of illegal state payments for her relationship with Brown.
  • Discussing the fact that Senator Kirsten Gilibrand doesn't know how to eat fried chicken even though there is a long history of male candidates being condemned for being out of touch with the common man; remember how the media attacked Bush because he was supposedly amazed by a supermarket scanner--it turned out to be a lie by the way?
  • Discussing the fact that Senator Elizabeth Warren lied about being a Native American in order to get great jobs culminating with Harvard touting her as an example of their diversity while paying her over $300 thousand a year to teach one class.  Does anyone think if a man had done the same no one would be raising it as an issue?
Interestingly I don't recall the WaPo complaining about the vicious attacks on Sarah Palin most of which were based on pure lies--she never said she could see Russia from her back yard for example.  It's not surprising though.  The WaPo knows that all of the above issues have nothing to do with the candidates being women and everything to do with pointing out huge problems with those candidates.

Basically the #FakeNews media is declaring that speaking the truth to power, so long as that power is left wing, is intrinsically evil and should be condemned.  Of course all they're really doing is trying to make sure that we the people don't get the truth about Democrat candidates.

It's important to remember that "Democracy dies in darkness" is not a WaPo slogan but rather a mission statement. The #FakeNews media is working hard to ensure that we the people are kept in the dark so that a Democrat who wants to destroy democracy is elected.

If you doubt that Democrats want to destroy democracy note these things:
  • Democrats used illegals to harvest ballots in California and magically win multiple House seats
  • Democrats are working hard to make it easy for illegals to vote and not get caught
  • Democrats want illegals to count as US citizens in the census so that the votes of voters in states with lots of illegals will count more than the votes of Americans who live in states with few illegals
  • Democrats fight tooth and nail against any effort to ensure that only eligible voters can vote
  • Democrats tried to get the Electoral College delegates to go rogue to nullify the 2016 election
  • Democrats have pushed the fake collusion narrative in an attempt to nullify the 2016 election
  • Democrat's Deep State friends tried to stage a coup to overthrow the 2016 elections
  • Democrats in places like Chicago have been corrupting the election process for decades
The #FakeNews media share the Democrats desire for an all powerful government that imposes the Democrats policies on all of us so they're eager to lie because they know that if we the people know the truth about Democrat candidates we won't vote for them.
