Shame: Government Media Complex :: By Bill Wilson

It’s been termed the “Government Media Complex” by some conservative writers. It refers to the mainstream corporate media that is taking the hard-left position in its coverage of the presidential race, a mouthpiece for the Biden Administration, and ongoing purveyor of dog-whistle rhetoric spewed by the hateful left.

Americans, wake up! Just read the headlines of what has happened over the past two weeks. CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and various other left-leaning propaganda machines downplayed the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and subsequently refused to report the substance of his Republican nomination acceptance speech.

In the moments after the Trump shooting, I went to the aforementioned media sites to get updated information. They actually downplayed the assassination attempt. Collectively, they portrayed the event as something totally other than what it was. Anybody watching the speech could tell that there were rapid-fire shots at the former president. The government media complex reported that there was a “security incident” and Trump had to be escorted off the stage.

It was literally over an hour before these giants of news got around to reporting the truth. They downplayed the assassination attempt as if some sort of technical glitch had taken place. Nothing to see here.

Their coverage of Trump’s nomination acceptance speech was much the same. The government media complex talked about everything except the substance of the speech.

  • Politico reported about the 92-minute record speech and showed pictures of the convention audience dozing off in boredom.
  • AFP talked about what Melania wore and how Trump has “reshaped” the Republican Party into his own image (isn’t that was presidential nominees do?).
  • The Washington Post did a story on what Trump DID NOT have in his speech.
  • Reuters wrote about how critics of Trump worry that his power will go unchecked.
  • AP continued its coverage of the assassination attempt by calling the would-be assassin a “Rally Shooter.”

This is the kind of coverage we would expect from Soviet-era Russian media like Tass and Pravda.

For nearly a decade, the government media complex has had Trump in its sites and has been the attack dog of the left. This is not becoming to a nation where heroic men and women have died to protect freedom of speech and religion. Yet this government media complex attacks both regularly, disrespecting the very constitution that guarantees their right to do it.

Maybe it’s time to recognize them for what they are and encourage people to seek the truth, not what they are being spoon-fed by propagandists.

In John 8:32, Christ says, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is freedom in truth, but neither freedom nor truth is found in news that is filtered through an extreme agenda.

Daily Jot Special Report: Assassination Attempt :: By Bill Wilson

Authorities have identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, PA as the “subject involved” in the failed attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Crooks, it is said, is a registered Republican, although he donated money to Democratic Party organizations ActBlue and the Progressive Turnout Project.

ActBlue is an app that raises money for left-leaning Democrat candidates, and socialist, progressive and revolutionary organizations. The Progressive Turnout Project is dedicated to a “progressive takeover” by leftist Democrats.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have not determined a motive, they say with a straight face. But let’s look at the facts.

What could possibly motivate a young first-time presidential election voter to want to assassinate a candidate?

Could it be the vitriol and hate speech rhetoric shaping a young mind that believes only what he hears from progressive groups like the ones to which he donated?

There was a mention also of Antifa—what many believed to be the Obama-Biden militant arm of the progressive Democrats. This has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, within minutes of the assassination attempt, there was an outpouring of Democrats on social media, including Joe Biden, offering their prayers for Trump and saying that this type of thing should never happen in America.

So magnanimous. But were they genuine?

On Friday, Biden was railing on Trump as a “convicted criminal” at his rally in Detroit. He said,

“No more! Donald, no more free passes. Today, we are going to shine a spotlight on Donald Trump. We are going to do what the press so far hasn’t [sic], but I think they’re gonna soon. We are going to say who he is, what he intends to do. Folks, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.”

According to New York Times reporter Kenneth P. Vogel, Biden, in a Monday phone call, told Democrat donors,

“It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”

Several Democrats recently urged Biden to “take out” Trump after they misinterpreted a Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity. These were widely reported in the news media.

And on July 2, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell,

“This is not a normal election where you want to win, and if you don’t, you cooperate and do the best you can for the country and hope to win the next time. This is something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!”

Writing for Breitbart News, John Nolte documented several articles in the news media comparing Trump to Hitler, authoritarianism, Nazism, and fantasizing about a Trump assassination. Nolte called it a hate campaign. In conclusion, the hate rhetoric toward Trump paved the way for what happened Saturday. And the very critics of Trump who are piously offering their prayers are the ones who fomented the hate.

Titus 1:16 says, “They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him…”

I wonder what they really prayed.
