NEW YORK, NY โ What is it about good-looking, brainy, articulate, even charismatic peopleโโparticularly if theyโre in the public eyeโโthat makes them so vulnerable to the self-destroying over-confidence and arrogance known as hubris?
Who can forget when the beauteous, brash and brilliant Megyn Kelly blazed like a shooting star on Fox News, used her background as a former practicing attorney to conduct piercing and revelatory interviews; showcased enough magnetism to, as my mother used to say, charm a bird off a tree; and entranced the show-business and tabloid worlds with her romance and marriage to a rich and handsome businessman-cum-author and then give birth to three adorable children?
In the feminist-invented world of โhaving it all,โ Kelly certainly fit the profile.
THE ESCALATOR WENT DOWN
And so did Kelly! As soon as the business mogul and TV star Donald Trump descended on the escalator in the eponymously-named Trump Tower with his gorgeous wife Melania in June of 2015 and announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America, every media person in every outlet in the world salivated at the chance of interviewing the billionaire builder.
But nothing would reveal the Real Donald Trump as much as the TV debates in which no less than 16 Republican candidates participatedโโall of them with the formidable political credentials that the businessman-candidate lacked.
They included Governors Scott Walker (WI), John Kasich (OH); former Governors Rick Perry (TX), Bobby Jindal (LA), George Pataki (NY), Mike Huckabee (AK), Jim Gilmore (VA), Jeb Bush (FL), Chris Christie (NJ); Senators Lindsey Graham (SC), Marco Rubio (FL), Ted Cruz (TX); as well as former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
And who got the plum assignment to host the first Republican debate? None other than Foxโs โit girlโ Megyn Kelly. I remember vividly how Kelly tantalized her audience with explosive things to comeโโrolling her hands, her eyes glisteningโโas she invited people to see what they had never ever seen before.
And she delivered! Right out of the gate, she accused candidate Trump of being abusive to women.
Uh oh. Wrong question to the wrong target. Did fledgling TV starlet Kelly really think she was more seasoned in media savvy than the guy who hosted two TV showsโโThe Apprentice and Celebrity Apprenticeโโthat ran at the top of the ratings for over 14 years?
At the first debate, Trump destroyed two entitiesโโall of his opponents and Megyn Kelly!
The American publicโโin poll after poll after poll after pollโโbelieved that Trump was more credible, appealing and honest than Ms. Smarty Pants. And it was not long before Kelly was gone from Fox, hired by NBC-News, then gone from NBC and now into, um, podcasts. (www.ewea.org)
SMARTY-PANTS LAWYERS DONโT โGETโ CAPITALISM
Yes, this clever species likes to be paid the Big Bucks, but yoo hoo Missy… where do you think that money comes from? It comes from We the People tuning into this or that TV or radio station or Internet site, and if the numbers are good, the advertising increases and it is that advertising money that pays your overpaid salaries!
Which brings me to an egghead like Tucker Carlson who may understand capitalism but clearly does not understand the power of We the People.
Since November 2016, Carlson has hosted an 8 p.m. show on Fox. In fact, on July 2020, he broke the record for highest-rated program in U.S. cable news history, garnering an average nightly audience of 4.33 million viewers.
Typically, his show features a monologue of provocative political commentary which cites numerous examples of leftist hypocrisy and challengesโโwith a high degree of empiricismโโsuch sacred cows of leftism as global warming, open borders, and mail-in voting. He also interviews numerous โexpertsโ to either affirm or argue with his own political opinions.
So how did this media starโโjust like Megyn Kellyโโcrash and burn?
THE SIDNEY DIS
When Tucker Carlson recently attacked attorney Sidney Powell, who was initially on the Trump legal team but is now independently pursuing justice for the president for the massive voter fraud that has put his reelection in question, We the People immediately suspected that Fox management had ordered Carlson to sing their leftist song.
If so, Tucker obediently complied, evincing the colossal conceit that Atty. Powell should tell himโโa Fox News employee, a dispensable employeeโโthe proof of voter fraud that she planned to take before a judge (or several judges) in perhaps the most consequential legal case in American history.
And when she didnโt answer his preposterous and presumptuous question, he had a verbal temper tantrum, acting indefensibly rude and obnoxiously antagonistic to one of the most seasoned and respected lawyers in our country.
While most Republicans and Conservatives were so disgusted with Foxโs dishonest coverage of the electionโโcalling Arizona with hundreds of thousands of votes yet to be counted, failing to ask even one question about the unprecedented shutdown for three hours of voting tallies in the swing states of Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, et alโโthey quit Fox and went to Newsmax TV and One American News Network (OANN).
But people like me and many others stayed with Fox solely because of commentators like Tucker Carlson and Mr. Rock-Ribbed Conservative himself, Sean Hannity.
However, when we witnessed Tuckerโs shameful behavior toward Sidney Powell, the rest of We the People immediately and instantly and with no regrets whatsoever left Fox FOREVER! With, by the way, a Good Riddance to Mr. Smarty Pants!
And we were not alone. According to Jim Hoftโs unerring reportage, after Foxโs election-night coverage, Fox News crashed to such a degree that their viewership was cut by 50 percent in three weeks!
โFox News spit on their audience, and their audience walked,โ Hoft wrote, also displaying this dramatic graph:
As writer Andrea Widburg writes: โFox News continues to insult its audience.โ
FOLLOW THE MONEY
In 1983 there were 50 media companies, but today only six organizations are responsible for over 90 percent of all the โnewsโ we read, watch and listen to! Five of the CEOs of these multibillion-dollar businesses are longtime leftist globalists, and the sixth, the only conservative, was Rupert Murdoch (Fox, Wall St. Journal, NY Post, et al) who a few years ago gave control of his empire to his leftist sons Lachlan and James.
For decades, these business titans have made massive financial investments in the global economy, thanks largely to the leftist con men and womenโthe Clintons and Obama & Co.; the Chinese Communist Party, the tin-pot dictators and America-haters of the United Nations; the leftist billionaires who thrive on and denounce capitalism at the same timeโwho convinced them that America was on the decline and that the open-borders, one-world-government crowd was in imminent ascendance.
Then Donald Trump happened and all that one-world baloney vanished overnight.
GLOBALIST MADNESS
Since then, the globalists have done two things:
- They have continued to invest heavily in our economy, hence the rocket-like ascendance of the Stock Market,
- They have told their media whores to keep up the drumbeat of negativity about President Trump.
Why? Because the ratings for their devolving shows spiked with his election, as did the money that lined their pockets!
The always astute Daniel Greenfield elaborated on this phenomenon:
โThe media spent eight years declining into irrelevance under Obama. Even before Trump, Obama had bypassed the media for social media. The big stories were fed to the press by Obama Inc. cronies like Ben Rhodes or hidden-hand political smear shops like Fusion GPS.
โTrump revived the mediaโฆ [his] end-year remarks to the NY York Times acerbically summed up his relationship with the media. `Iโm going to win another four yearsโฆ because newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if Iโm not there.โ The answering outburst of rage and contempt from the media burned all the hotter because the statement was not only intentionally provocative; it was also true.
โTrumpโs greatest trick was forcing [the media] to get in the ring with him. Thatโs always been his trick for defeating his opponents.
โThe mediaโs Trump rage ended Hillaryโs career, put a Republican in the White House, pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords, brought in the Muslim travel ban, recognized Jerusalem and did all the other things the media wails about every second of the day. And the media helped make them happen.โ
WHAT NOW?
If the globally-coordinated, massively-funded, treasonously-conceived coup that leftists have been working on for the past five years succeeds, conservative patriots can be assured that President Trump will create a media company that overnight will have 80-million paid subscribers who will, finally, breakโโactually destroyโโthe malevolent, dishonest, and immorally anti-American media that has contaminated our airways for the past 100 years.
Can I hear an Amen?!
But my money is onโโand has always been onโโthe Smartest Guy in the Room, President Donald J. Trump.
Starting today or tomorrowโโHappy Thanksgiving everyone!โโyou can watch the reincarnation of the Greatest Show on Earth, ending, I trust, with the hand on the Bible on January 20th, 2021, being the hand of the reelected President Trump!
