Agreed, and I very much share your concern.That’s why I write so often about the MSM. It spews out the propaganda that helps to create the perceptions of way too many people.

My sole concern is this: Only conservatives and a few libertarians saw it. And only conservatives and a few libertarians see the thousands of other news items which powerfully illustrate the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the left-of-center Powers That Be (whether they’re news media, or state governors, or bad-actors at FBI/Justice, or tenured-radicals, or diversity-office directors at major companies).

We’re all keenly aware of the horrifying stupidity, irrationality, venality, hypocrisy, and totalitarian impulses of that crowd, because not a day goes by without our information-sources offering us a half-dozen real-world examples.

But I worry that we, through the political diversification of our information-sources, are living in a different thought-world than the rest of America; that the majority of the electorate are “watching a different movie” (to use Scott Adams’ term for it).

Imagine what you’d think of the last six months in American politics if your input consisted of a daily diet of random snark from left-leaning celebrities and “influencers” (carefully scrubbed of conservative replies), 15 minutes’ coverage from ABC and 20 minutes coverage from CNN, overheard casually once every 2-3 days, along with color commentary from either NPR or the DJs at a local R&B station, heard between segments/songs during your commute. And maybe, if you’re the kind of person who’s particularly proud of keeping yourself well-informed, you also read the big-name newspaper of your nearest metropolis.

Doesn’t most of America (including, admittedly, a lot of non-voters) think…
(a.) Donald Trump lies stupidly, brazenly, and transparently all the time, leaving his interlocutors (who don’t lie) breathlessly aghast;
(b.) There’s irrefutable accumulated evidence that Trump has racist and authoritarian inclinations (and no reasonable arguments to the contrary);
(c.) The news media delivers a the kind of sober-minded normal-person interpretation of events that sober-minded normal people can usually trust;
(d.) Trump voters are mostly overweight dimwits reflexively mumbling jingoistic slogans, a bunch of stereotypical Wal-Mart shoppers whom any sensible person would be ashamed to identify with;
(e.) Trump’s decisions during the pandemic outbreak have certainly resulted in more deaths than otherwise would have occurred; and
(f.) Trump did something vaguely sketchy in collusion with the Russians during the last election and the Russians clearly want him to win the next one.

Isn’t that pretty much the majority view, even now? Don’t half your coworkers and half your neighbors think most or all of those things?

In a world where everyone’s news-inputs were (*cough*) “Fair and Balanced,” this next election ought to be a cakewalk for Trump.

But isn’t that exactly what our world isn’t?

A lovely, very smart, young woman our kids went to high school with came home from her first year of college with a different hair color and insisting we now use her middle name. When I asked her why, she replied, “I discovered that a brunette named Elizabeth got a lot more respect than a blonde named Stacey.”

Welcome to the new century, same as the old one.

And as to Kayleigh McEnany:
Given my bucolic background, I’ve come to realize that it can be a big advantage to be underrated by your opponents. There persists among some puffed-up little men the notion that good-looking women, especially if they’re blonde, aren’t too bright. It was great to see Ms McEnany knock it out of the park. It’s been delicious to see my wife do the same thing. In a courtroom.

Legally Blonde.

She’s a Harvard Law graduate, among other things. And although that doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot, in her case she survived there even though she’s a conservative. She must have been a fascinating presence there.

Why…that…cheating,…conniving,…low-down Trumpette! The nerve! How did she ever think she’d get away with THAT!?

Anyways, she seems to have sorely riled several of those oh-so-virtuous folks who have worked indefatigably over the past several years to make dishonesty a veritable art form.

So she’s gotten off to an excellent start. May she have many more successes!

If you watch the whole thing, you get to see her build up momentum to that final question. For me, it felt like a cathartic scene from a movie. Her husband’s a baseball player, so maybe he’d call it a walk-off home run.
