“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” George Orwell’s 1984 was supposed to serve as a warning, not a how-to guide, to journalists defending the radical left. Unlike many media postmortems in 2016, biased coverage of Donald Trump is not the result of cultural differences. That’s by design.
In April, NPR editor-in-chief Uli Berliner (who is not a Trump fan) wrote a scathing op-ed outlining the station’s deliberate anti-Trump bias. He was then fired for ignoring the warning. This week, Time magazine featured NPR and published an issue dedicated to what’s going on.if he wins”
Eric Cortelessa hints that President Trump will become a dictator even as he covers up Joe Biden’s unconstitutional executive actions.
“He” is, of course, the Bad Orange Man himself.As part of a special issue, Time magazine’s Eric Cortelessa Analysis provided Includes two interviews with the magazine’s 45th president and multiple interviews with former advisers. This analysis seems more like a fever dream of a dystopian future under Trump than something rooted in reality.
Cortelessa’s entire body of work depicts a distorted story. However, paragraph 5 is particularly useful in showing how the media promotes fear. Let’s look at each point. Cortelessa begins by saying,
What emerged from two interviews with Trump and conversations with more than a dozen aides and confidants was the outline of an imperialist president reshaping America and its role in the world.
An “imperial president” who would “reshape America and its role in the world.” How wicked! Cortelessa is clearly trying to evoke the image of an absolute ruler in the mold of Caesar, Putin, Hitler, or even Sheev Palpatine, who rose to power from humble beginnings on Coruscant. Every modern presidency approaches imperialism as the executive branch gains more power and the legislative branch abandons its responsibility as checks and balances.
Cortelessa has hinted that Trump will become a dictator even as he covers up Joe Biden’s unconstitutional executive actions. Biden acted autocratically when it came to waiving student loan liability for borrowers. At the time, Mr. Cortelesa became a supporter of Mr. Biden, “fact-checking” criticism of the plan, which was later deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. When oppressive, undemocratic power is used to the liking of the regime’s stenographers, “journalists” like Cortelesa write:It’s easy to gamble when you lose and have reason to believe you can still win”
His next point is:
President Trump told me he is prepared to build migrant detention centers and deploy the U.S. military both at the border and inland to carry out deportation operations to deport more than 11 million people.
Media elites push the narrative that securing borders is some kind of tyranny. Most Americans are not on their side. According to an exclusive poll published by Axios last month, supported by the majority of Americans Massive deportation of illegal immigrants. Axios writes, “Americans are embracing former President Trump’s most draconian immigration plan, fueled by a record surge in illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans.”
This country is being invaded by a wave of illegal immigration unlike anything we’ve seen before in American history. It is funded by left-wing groups and carried out by cartels acting as human smugglers and human traffickers. There is precedent for military action to prevent cross-border infiltration by militias and criminal organizations. Pancho Villa I would like to join the chat.
Cortelessa continues:
He would allow red states to monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.
The Supreme Court stated this loudly: Dobbs The decision that absent a law passed by Congress and signed by the president, the issue of abortion will be left to each state. If Mr. Cortelesa is right, he will simply acknowledge that Mr. Trump said he would uphold the law. For many Americans, abortion means killing a baby.
Cortelesa also says some scary things about perfectly constitutional actions that presidents have taken since the early 1800s.
He plans to withhold funds appropriated by Congress in his personal discretion, senior advisers said.
This is all completely normal. Trump, like many presidents from Thomas Jefferson to modern times, will do this. seize appropriated funds. It’s loaded with phrases like “personal discretion” and incites hatred against President Trump, which the media is trying to reinforce. What’s funny is that, yes, the president is also human and can exercise “discretion” just like his predecessors.
What will Trump’s plans be for the Justice Department? Cortelessa wants you to be very scared.
He is also willing to fire federal prosecutors who do not carry out his orders to prosecute someone, breaking with America’s founding tradition of independent law enforcement.
The fake shock here is masterful in its effect. As Cortelesa undoubtedly knows, there is no “independent law enforcement” in this country, and there never has been. That concept is a myth. The Constitution gives sole executive power to the president. Whether Mr. Cortelessa likes it or not, the president is the country’s top law enforcement officer.
But don’t worry about that. President Trump plans to pardon “domestic terrorists”!
He is considering pardoning all of his supporters accused of storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty by a jury. ing.
There is precedent for presidents granting pardons even though many of the defendants’ Jan. 6 convictions could be overturned by the Supreme Court. FALN Puerto Rican nationalist They were convicted of crimes ranging from bomb-making to mayhem. FALN became a suspect in the bombing incident Federal buildings in New York.
As Blaze Media’s Steve Baker has detailed, there are many inaccuracies in mainstream media coverage of the events of January 6, 2021.
He won’t make a good ally!
If he feels that an ally attacked in Europe or Asia is not paying enough for its defense, he may not come to the aid of that ally.
In 2014, when Barack Obama was president, NATO allies agreed to spend 2% of their GDP on defense. NATO itself says“The 2% of GDP guideline is an important indicator of the political commitment of individual allies to contribute to NATO’s common defense effort.” At the time, only one NATO member state spent that much. There were only three people. The United States disproportionately bears the heaviest burden in funding the alliance.
Trump has long criticized allies for not spending enough on their defense. Back in the 1980s, he ran full-page ads pleading with countries. pay a just burden for defense. This is not a new or particularly controversial stance from the former president. The current front-runner for NATO chief agrees with Trump.
Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the leading candidate for the Netherlands replace the current NATO Secretary GeneralSaid bloomberg at davos Earlier this year, he said, “This is exactly President Trump’s main issue, that we’re not spending enough, and he was right. He was right.”
But don’t worry about that. Trump will change the entire nature of government!
He has eviscerated the U.S. civil service, deployed the National Guard to U.S. cities as needed, shut down the White House pandemic task force, and defunded his followers who support his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen. will be placed in government.
Today’s civil service is synonymous with the administrative state, the unelected shadow government that actually runs the country. Permanent bureaucracy is an evil product of the Progressive Era, introduced by Woodrow Wilson to “professionalize government.” What the government has done is shift the responsibility of governing from elected officials to career bureaucrats. With each passing year, elected officials lose their control over government.
“Democracy dies in darkness” is exactly what it says.
As the chief executive officer of the United States, the president has the sole executive authority to fire government employees. The Supreme Court is Myers v. United States When he supported the president in his decision to fire the postmaster general of Portland, Oregon, he supported the president’s authority to do just that.
Returning control of government to elected officials should be celebrated, not accused of tyranny. “Freedom is slavery.” The left and its mainstream media followers added to Newspeak, “Government decline is tyranny.”
As for President Trump’s claim that he is “staffing his administration with believers who support” his claims about the 2020 election, Karine Jean-Pierre, the Biden administration’s chief propagandist, is a well-known 2016 election denier.
Cortelessa’s analysis conclusively proves that warping to fit a narrative is not the result of a cultural disconnect.it is Intentionally.
