I was watching the local NBC station on Sunday, waiting for Meet the Press to start – I know, who wakes up on Sunday morning just to punch themselves in the face repeatedly? I do. I like to know what the other side is up to – it’s like a vacation to another planet without being stuck in a small capsule with people who will undoubtedly smell bad. Although, these people on TV undoubtedly smell.
The show that was one featured Willie Geist – and yes, you could see the stink lines coming off of him, by only metaphorically from his soul.
Willie was going on and on about how Trump was horrible, and who could blame him? It’s either do that or spend your Morning Joe commercial breaks being lectured by Mika Brzezinski and her second husband, or Joe Scarborough and his third wife (your choice how you see it), about how immoral you are for not burning every calories your body and consume by going after Trump/Hitler.
Geist gave the typical talking points about immigration – how mean we are for enforcing our borders and sovereignty – while likely living in a doorman building and working in the NBC world headquarters that likely wouldn’t let you use the bathroom in an emergency without an appointment.
Then, after the selectively outraged rant, Willie teased upcoming segment on the new pandas at the national zoo. Why? Because in the face of the new fascism…you gotta make time for cute pandas!
These people are unserious and their audiences are even less so. Either they believe the United States of America is coming to an end at the hands of Hitler Jr. or they think that cuteness of panda bears is news, but they cannot think that in the face of Hitler Jr. destroying freedom that the cuteness of panda bears matter.

Since they are unserious, they should be treated as unserious, by which I mean they should not be considered at all.
When NBC News has a question or CNN is flailing to be called on at a press conference, ignore them. There are enough honest outlets out there that you don’t need to engage the disloyal opposition. Call on them every once in a while, but only answer their questions when they are on point. Any left-wing propaganda or narrative-reinforcing missives should be called out for what they are and dismissed. Humiliation is a powerful motivator.
You can pull at Biden and completely ignore hostile media – the easiest way to be better than the left is to simply be normal, and it is normal to be civil. When they expose themselves as uncivil, return the favor and call them out. Even a dumb dog would get the hint eventually, especially since Jim Acosta is no longer in the room.
Vice President JD Vance (man, it’s nice to write that) sat down with Margaret Brennan of CBS News last week and the tone was exactly correct – he answered her biased questions with the “respect” they, and she, deserved…which wasn’t much.
“You campaigned on lowering prices for consumers. We've seen all of these executive orders. Which one lowers prices?” Brennan asked, giving voice to a liberal meme being sent around by the low IQ progressive drones on social media. After Vance tried to take her question semi-seriously, Brennan replied, “So, grocery prices aren’t going to come down?”
“No, Margaret, prices are going to come down, but it's going to take a little bit of time, right? The president has been president for all of five days,” the Vice President shot back, making the CBS personality look stupid.
Do this to all of them, when you choose to speak with them at all.
When Joe Biden was President he did not call on Fox News or any non-lapdog, leftist corporate media. He took questions from them only in scrums and shouted, not in the scripted official White House “press conferences” where Joe had a list of names and questions.
Trump and Vance shouldn’t do that, but they should treat the leftists media like the redheaded stepchild conservatives were treated when Democrats were in charge. Ignore them, unless and until it serves the purposes of the administration and embrace the more honest media. Don’t fall into a pile of rear-end kissing or believe your hype, but when the only difference between talking to the New York Times about a hit piece they’re doing on you is whether or not it will have direct quotes from you, there is no point in talking to them at all.
They aren’t your friends; they’ll never be your friends. They are friends with your current girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend and they’re just looking for anything they can use to stab you in the back and break you two up. You didn’t need that in your life when you were young and single, and you sure as hell don’t need it in your life now.
