Obviously, Vice-President Kamala Harris lost, but there was another bigger loser.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris\u2019 stinging defeat is personal \u2014 because it\u2019s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump\u2019s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent\u2019s campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they\u2019ve only ramped up their efforts since then.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The problem they\u2019re reckoning with tonight is this: those efforts didn\u2019t work. They\u2019re no longer able to control Americans by controlling their information intake, because their credibility is farther deep-sixed than the Clinton family\u2019s enemies list.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is a sad day when media members who lie are awarded Pulitzer Prizes and not forced to return them when it is revealed that they lied.<\/p>\n<p>The article notes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Since the last presidential election, the media have screeched incessantly about Trump \u201cinciting an insurrection\u201d at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They made <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/08\/did-abc-showrunners-from-the-j6-committee-produce-the-pbs-frontline-propaganda-too\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">documentaries<\/a> comparing Trump to the Ku Klux Klan. They portrayed Trump as the ringleader of a terrorist attack and not as a president who gave a speech and urged his supporters to protest peacefully.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Tuesday night\u2019s results are a resounding indication that Americans didn\u2019t buy it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>With help from a debunked story planted in The Atlantic, the media made Trump out to be a \u201cfascist\u201d and routinely compared him to Hitler. When Trump held a gangbusters rally at Madison Square Garden, they screeched that he and his supporters were obviously Nazis because they gathered at the same venue that Nazi sympathizers once rented \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_entertainment_events_at_Madison_Square_Garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">along with<\/a> Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, Beyonc\u00e9, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/media-dems-compare-historic-trump-msg-rally-nazi-event-ignore-democrat-events-held\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>If the past eight years \u2014 and the first few hours of cope-streaming from TV Wednesday morning \u2014 are any indication, the legacy press isn\u2019t planning on repentance. They don\u2019t feel obligated to represent Americans; they feel entitled to control them. The loss of that control is making them apoplectic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Kamala Harris is only the second-biggest loser of the night. Her media shills are nursing wounds that will take far longer to recover from. After all, they were always the ones fighting the hardest to bring Trump down \u2014 and after eight years of it, they\u2019re skulking away weaker and more humiliated than ever.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why should anyone trust anything the mainstream media says after the way they have behaved for the past nine years?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, The Federalist posted an article about the losers in the 2024 election.
