The ‘catch-and-kill’ media

www.americanthinker.com

It is astonishing and appalling how much most of the media clearly colludes with Democrats to decide what to report, how to report, and what stories to bury.

There was feigned outrage from the media and other Democrats that the National Enquirer caught and killed a tabloid-level story that was negative to Trump when the media catches and kills legitimate news every day when it positively reflects on Trump or negatively on Democrats.

The deep state agency known as the Federal Election Commission even joined in, fining the National Enquirer for burying the story while they never fined the rest of the media for their campaign contributions when they kill stories.

The biggest example of catch-and-kill to interfere in an election was when almost all media outlets caught and killed the Hunter laptop story a couple weeks prior to the 2020 election. The media, intelligence agencies, the Justice Department, former intelligence officials, and other Democrats knew for years about the Biden family corruption, but buried the story because they wanted the puppet Biden in the white house instead of Trump, who might destabilize their control.

Also, for five years, before and after the election, they all buried the truth of Biden’s mental and physical (diminished) capacities. Even when Robert Hur wrote a report listing Biden’s crimes and saying that he wouldn’t charge Biden because he was a senile and forgetful old man, the media and other Democrats colluded to call Robert Hur a liar.

The coverup continued until the disastrous debate, and then the people who covered up for Biden for years falsely claimed they were shocked.

Then they injected Kamala as the new candidate and claimed how great she was. The truth never mattered, only that she was a Democrat.

The media and other Democrats supported Platner, no matter what he did, as long as he led in the polls. When his poll numbers collapsed, he was put out to pasture with hit pieces.

When Newsom said that he was being investigated only because he was an opponent of Trump, most of the media dutifully repeated the same talking points. When the truth came out that the investigation started under Joe Biden, the story was caught and mostly killed.

Anything that shows ICE in a bad light will be endlessly reported on, while arrests of dangerous criminals and the recovery of children lost during the Biden years will be buried. They largely refused to acknowledge Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, and all the other women and girls sexually tortured and killed by illegals.

No matter how many illegal truck drivers kill people, the stories about how Democrat state government issues licenses will be buried.

This report showing how Biden’s open border policy made house prices and rent much more unaffordable has largely been buried.

The media likes to pretend that the only thing the Trump Justice Department is working on are charges against political opponents so they ignore fraud, no matter how much is found:

The media will find sympathetic reports about how someone was cut from Medicaid, SNAP, or Obamacare, but will ignore the cuts related to fraud: “NBC Report on Medicaid Cuts Fails to Mention Local Fraud Indictments.”

They will bury all the reports from Tulsi Gabbard that showed how corrupt and dishonest the Justice Department, intelligence agencies, and Fauci were: “National Security Scandal: Anti-Trump Jack Smith Team Violated Classified Info Rules.”

They will attack cuts of personnel, but will not report stories of improved results:

Numbers Show How Trump VA Is Performing for Veterans Compared to Biden, Obama Eras

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced it cut the backlog of veterans waiting for compensation and pension benefits by 74% since President Donald Trump started his second term.

They will not report about poor results in public schools, or better results when kids get more choices: “Report Shows Mass Failure in NYC Schools as Spending Keeps Soaring Under Mamdani.”

And they will hide how anti-American Mamdani and other Democrats are: “Fox News Hosts Rip Anti-American Mamdani Speech, Other Networks SKIPPED It.”

While most media outlets report in lockstep, they will also seek to destroy Fox News, Newsmax, and other sources who deviate from the Democrat talking points.
