Nation Looking For Right Phrase To Describe Media That Behaves Like Some Kind Of Adversary Of The Populace

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S.—As the media continues to gaslight the American people, cover for pedophiles, and retract information when it damages their political allies, the nation is increasingly wishing there were some sort of phrase to describe the kind of behavior befitting of an adversary of the populace.

“If only there were a catchy phrase, in use for hundreds of years in a variety of contexts, that succinctly described the way the corporate press is behaving,” said one man in Nebraska. He shook his head. “Nothing comes to mind though.”

Concerned citizens convened in Cleveland to come up with a cogent callsign for the corporate cable news media.

Here is what they’ve come up with so far:

  • Adversary of the populace
  • Opposition of the citizenry
  • Opponent of the masses
  • Traitor to the inhabitants
  • Villian of the plebeians
  • Foe of the folk
  • Antagonist of the population

“Nothing quite has the right ring to it,” said a man from Iowa, rubbing his chin. “We just can’t put our finger on what to call these guys.”

Maybe we can elect a business man who doesn’t care what the news media thinks. Maybe he can come up with a phrase.

I always liked his saying, “When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”

TBP – does it again. Excellent and unfortunately humorous description in a well needed dialogue. I like – whacked out news – trust us news — pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
It is indicative of our current failing state.

There used to be the “Smith-Mundt Act” of 1948. That made it illegal for the US media to push propaganda on the American public, even though they’ve been doing it for decades.

It’s been changed and propaganda has now been legal since 2012.

i like the German formulation “Lugenpresse”, “lying press”. If we adopted it wholesale, it might annoy TPTB half as much as it should.

How about a slithering mass of treacherous quislings? I think it fits perfectly.

Joel Kotkin’s book, The New Class Conflict, suggests America’s real problems are deeper, and more damaging than political rhetoric:

“The oligarchs are assisted in their control by what Kotkin calls the clerisy class. An amalgam of academics, media and government employees who play the role that

    medieval clergy

once played in legitimizing the powerful, and in implementing their policies while quelling resistance from the masses. The clerisy isn’t as rich as the oligarchs, but it does pretty well for itself and is compensated in part by status, its positions allowing even its lower-paid members to feel superior to the hoi polloi.”

[Hoi polloi. In English, it means the working class, commoners, the masses or common people in a derogatory sense. SYNONYMS for hoi polloi, which also express the same or similar contempt for such people, include “the great unwashed”, “the plebeians” or “plebs”, “the rabble”, “the dregs of society”, “riffraff”, “the herd”, “the proles” (proletariat) and “peons”.]

“An even greater beneficiary is the administrative class, who by their nature live largely outside the market system and is called the new clerisy. It is based largely in academia, and the federal bureaucracy. Their numbers and distinct privileges have grown throughout the past half century.”

We need to set up the Guillotine in DC and teach these fucks a lesson.
