A shining example of the declining influence of the legacy media is
the storm this week over a decade old recording of Donald Trump making
some lewd remarks. None of us have ever done anything like that, have
we? After a firestorm of criticism by every organ of the media and being
roundly condemned by all the old Republican dinosaurs who failed to
stop him in the primaries, he comes out of Trump Towers the next day to
be greeted by a large impromptu crowd of people cheering him on.
The beautiful people may have been thoroughly offended and
scandalised by him, but the ordinary people couldn’t give a damn about
the issue; they were just worried he’d cave under the pressure and
withdraw from the race. He came out fighting rather than cowed, so the
whole campaign of faux outrage by assorted media turnips, GOP dinosaurs
and assorted SJWs essentially backfired on them all.
It is yet again a vivid illustration of how totally out of touch the
GOP establishment are with popular sentiment. The last thing they should
ever have done was to rush to condemnation and demand he withdraw,
because it’s obvious he’ll never withdraw under any circumstances and
his defiance of all the pressure he was put under gave him yet another
chance to reprise his role as the plucky David up against the
Republican/Media Goliath."
