American Media Disgraced Itself Again By Airing Trump’s Lie-Riddled Harangue-a-Thon"},"content":{"rendered":"

Wednesday night Donald Trump delivered a primetime address from the White House that was billed as an important communication to the American people concerning matters that would be of great interest to them. And every major national network carried the speech live. Ordinarily those networks don’t give up that valuable airtime unless they have been assured that there is a valid justification for it.<\/p>\n

However, on this occasion, the networks don’t appear to have done even a perfunctory review of what the content of Trump’s speech would be. Consequently, they greenlit his speech so that he could eat up half an hour of primetime to literally yell at the American people for not being sufficiently worshipful, and for failing to recognize the magnificence of his performance during the first year of his second occupation of the White House. It’s something that he is preoccupied with given his abysmal standing in national opinion surveys.<\/p>\n

Trump’s psychotic display of rabid rage and unrestrained ego was unprecedented in U.S. presidential politics. The entire speech was nothing more than a bellicose, live-action version of the tantrums that he posts daily on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. It was an outburst of explosive diarhetorical\u2122 fury aimed at the peasants who failed to properly adore him.<\/p>\n

As a public service, the video of his speech will not be posted here. It’s widely available for those with the stomach to endure it. And that’s precisely the problem. This speech should never have aired live on television by any reputable news network. It was entirely devoid of any substance that would have any appreciable impact on the lives of the American people. It was pure bitching and whining from an emotionally stunted malignant narcissist. The media could have taped it and later aired any part that had actual news content. But no. They caved to Dear Leader Trump who began his address<\/a><\/strong> saying that…<\/p>\n

“Eleven months ago I inherited a mess, and I’m fixing it. When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is where every network that was foolish enough to air Trump’s speech should have cut the feed and returned to their regularly scheduled programming. Those opening lines were pure fiction. Trump not only didn’t “inherit a mess,”<\/em> he inherited what the right-leaning magazine, “The Economist,”<\/em> said was “The Envy of the World<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/em> And most other economics experts agreed.<\/p>\n

What’s more, inflation was not nearly “the worst in 48 years”<\/em> when Trump took office, While inflation did rise to about 9% in the U.S. – and even more worldwide – during President Biden’s term, he was successful in reducing it to about 2.7% before his term ended. That’s what Trump inherited. And he proceeded to make that worse. Today inflation is about 3%. And predictions about the economy are mostly dire due to Trump having no policies that could reasonably produce a positive result. Or more accurately, due to his policies being overtly detrimental.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, if Trump really cared about “making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans”<\/em> (he doesn’t), he wouldn’t be imposing billions of dollars in taxes (aka tariffs) on them. And he wouldn’t be allowing health insurance subsidies to expire. And he wouldn’t be deporting the labor that builds our homes, works in our factories, and cares for our children and elders.<\/p>\n

The rest of Trump’s speech was an excruciating, insufferable, offensive, and incomprehensible exercise in self-serving blather. It offered nothing that could have benefitted anyone but himself. And it even failed on that level. It’s a safe bet that his already cratering poll numbers will sink further after this oratorical debacle.<\/p>\n

In Trump’s defense, what else did anyone expect from him? He delivered exactly the sort of bullshittery that he is known for. And with the predictable quantity of blatant lies<\/a><\/strong>. The bigger problem with respect to his speech was that it was aired live by every news network. At what point do they realize that his temper tantrums are not newsworthy? When will they stop kowtowing to him and providing a platform for his deception and propaganda? Will they ever take their responsibility as journalists and patriots seriously?<\/p>\n

Those are questions that the American people are going to have to answer. They must make their voices heard so these alleged “news”<\/em> networks know that we expect more of them. We expect them to be honest and probing and fearless. But if they persist in being sycophants to wannabe dictators, they will have no audience left for their shameless and worthless garbage-casting.<\/p>\n
