The title is a paraphrase of the 1888 poem "Casey at the Bat", ending with this paragraph:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
Well, there's a lot of joy around the nation because in Washington, aka, Mudville, the mighty media has struck out. The L.A. Times refused to endorse Kamala, but it wasn't because she was so far left. It was because she wasn't far left enough, and the Hollywood crowd railed about it cancelling their subscriptions, but does it really matter?
The L.A. Times is dying, and in January they laid off 20% of the staff, with the owner "writing $3 million-plus checks every month to produce a newspaper no bigger than Applebee’s menu..... bankruptcy, humiliation, and unemployment all put a smile on my face and a song in my heart."
The
Washington Post has refused to endorse Kamala and that's caused a bit
of a furor among WaPo employees. It appears writer Michele Norris has
resigned. So, who's Michele Norris? I never heard of her before this, so
who cares? However, this mentality is contagious at WaPo, which lost two hundred thousand subscribers as a result of not endorsing Kamala. So, maybe that's why Jeff Bezos wants more conservative columnists at the Washington Post? Imagine that.
I wonder if his employees will allow him to hire white conservative
writers? And who will define a conservative writer? Oh wait, I know,
John Kasich who says he has the right to define conservatism as he see
fit, and his definition would work well for the Pravda media. But does
it really matter?
It seems he's tired of funding a bunch of Woke losers dragging his paper down the toilet having already lost a "whopping $77 million" just last year, and has been losing money hand over fist for years. And Bezos should be worried all these nobody "journalists" are leaving?
Conservative readers are not coming back if for no other reason WaPo's list of hoaxes are legion, and it's already clear leftist readership can't sustain them, and if he brings in "conservative" writers, leftist readership will continue to drop until the financial situation makes continued publication unsustainable, even for Bezos, and hopefully followed down the toilet by CNN and MSNBC. Bezos wrote an article defending his decision to not endorse Kamala, but what he actually showed is their irrelevancy, and the growing irrelevancy of the media as a whole, and he clearly must understand the Post is toast. And that's true poetry!
No one can save these corrupt institutions. They've been exposed for their lies, their corruption, their treason, and while Americans can be easily fooled, once made aware of how they've been deceived, Americans will not forget or forgive. They might be able to fool the younger generation for a while, but since they don't read newspapers, books, or anything that make their little snowflake heads ache with critical thought, the end result will be the same.
But let's not kid ourselves, this corruption didn't just start. Those who read history books know the media has been the feeding the public this corrupt poison forever. Stalin's murder by starvation of millions of Ukrainians was dismissed by the NYT, the explosion of the USS Maine was blamed on Spain by the Hearst media empire, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The era of big media is over, trust in them has tanked and hard times lay ahead. Their lies, misinformation, disinformation, censorship, corruption, and propaganda in support of insane leftist goals the last sixteen years has now been totally exposed. Their deliberate covered up of criminal activity by Democrats, and their corrupt reporting on Trump, conservatives, Republicans, Israel, and this election, is a suicidal dagger in their heart.
One more thing. It's long overdue for the New York Times v. Sullivan to be overturned. They need to be made accountable for their lies, and then:
"Everywhere in this favored land the sun will be shining bright, the bands will be playing, hearts will be light, and people will be laughing, because in Mudville, the mighty media has struck out."
