This is the question that ALL the so-called mainstream media folks should be asking?
The monster they have created is vicious, ignorant, bigoted, racist, and self-righteous.
In the fifty-five years I have been on this planet, I have never seen the hatred, vitriol and rudeness that we are subjected to daily. There is such an "us vs them" mentality these days, and it is dangerous.
The media has spent the last 30 years filling people's heads full of nonsense, lies and half-truths, and all one has to do is to listen to some of the ill-informed , sputtering callers to Washington Journal, to know that we are in deep trouble here, folks..
There is "my facts", "your facts", "their facts", and then there are the TRUE facts.. The true facts (AKA un-spun news) are in short supply, and most of the country never even sees or hears them, and if they do, it's in 30 second soundbytes..
Years and years of rightwing radio has convinced the "least of us", that "the other side" wants to kill babies, steal their money to give it to illegal aliens, teach their kids to smoke pot and fornicate,force them to become gay,make them live with "dark" people, take all their guns, and force them to quit believing in God.
Some of us know that this is nonsense, but the "monster" believes this with every breath he takes.. The monster used to just stay close to home and bother his neighbors, but he has escaped into the general community now, and he's a menace..
I think that some of the people in high places may have actually started to realise this, but the monster was never taught any manners, and he's on the loose now..
No matter who wins the election in the fall, the "monster" will not be happy...he never is these days.. The monster must be fed controversy, conspiracy, and constant agitation..
The monster was emboldened in the 90's, and has had many "successes", and he will not be silenced, even if the person he likes, gets elected.. The monster must always attack.. It's in his DNA.. The monster will never be satisfied.. He's out there now, and he likes causing havoc..
The media "created" him, and they succeeded too well.. They thought he could be manipulated whenever they "needed" him, but he cannot be controlled now, and he has no interest in changing his ways..
He's getting bigger and meaner by the day, and he never backs down.
So...pick up a torch,you may need to help them find their monster.. If you see him, please do not attempt to apprehend him yourself..
