Welcome to the National Republic of Liberal Media

So it didn't take long for the media to finish its self flagellation for being so wrong about the results and continue on its merry way of fear mongering and inciting unrest here in the country.

First I thought that perhaps with the election over, we could go back to a more fair and balanced reporting of events. No such luck.

Then I  thought that at least I would enjoy a few days of reading and listening to the media as it became the big story of the election, how they missed the predictions, contributed to Hillary's loss by giving her base a sense of complacency that led to lower turnout ( thanks MBB), and were part of the backlash of the American people. However, even though there were one or two articles about it, as the token nod to actual impactful news, the rest of their pages and pieces were all about how horrible Trump is and how everyone in the world is moving to Canada.

I was on the bus watching the Dow Jones ticker at 42nd Street last night. You would think that Trump is a wild eyed terrorist who staged a coup, took over the White House, the Congress, and every single government agency, imposed martial law and started wars with every other nation on the planet, all by himself and overnight. This is propaganda, fear-mongering and inciting at its very worse, from institutions that have heretofore been considered upstanding and trustworthy.

Also, as I predicted here yesterday, today the news reported a supposedly peaceful protest that turned into a full fledged riot in Portland. Of course they have to say " the police are calling it a riot", because once again, they cannot possibly acknowledge their own complicity in fanning the flames of hatred and unrest in this country. Trump has not said anything remotely inflammatory since the election, but that is not stopping the ramping up of the rhetoric.

However, by allowing the anarchy to start, its natural movement is the escalation that we are seeing. If the local governments do not realize quickly that these illegal activities must be stopped immediately, issue of containing it will fall to Obama, and we know how good he is at things.

I look forward to the peaceful transfer of power. I fear we may not make it that far.
