The media is so locked-in to a certain way of doing things that trolling them is like beating a quadriplegic (you already know all of his moves because they’re determined by the laws of physics).
Trump has once again gotten the outrage machine rolling with a funny tweet – this time it is even more absurd that people are outraged.
Here it is, for anyone who’s managed to miss it:

This is obviously just a joke, but unlike the obvious joke that was the Mika tweet, it isn’t nasty and doesn’t target a specific individual.
It is also extra silly, and has the element of self-deprecating humor, as Trump’s appearances on WWE were obviously very silly (“self-deprecating” is probably the wrong term for anything related to Donald Trump – that isn’t really his style – but it is definitely him showing that he doesn’t take himself 100% seriously, something which he has been accused of).
People would be embarrassed to express outrage over it if it was not for the media acting like they’re supposed to be expressing outrage over it.
And the media might have understood that they were being manipulated by Trump into becoming outraged over something absurd and thus demonstrating the absurdity of the outrage culture itself if:
- They weren’t in the middle of trying to construct a “Trump is soliciting violence against us, the media” narrative as an immediate replacement for their “Trump is an agent of the Russian government” narrative. And..
- He hadn’t tweeted right before or right in the middle of the Sunday shows.
They had to cover it because it was breaking news – all of the week’s major shows had to cover it – without any time to think it through. They were already talking about tweet outrage after the Mika tweet, working with the “Trump is trying to get people to do violence against us” narrative, so they said “this wrestling meme is a secret message to tell his followers to kill us!”
And the politicians then went along with it – because after all, their colleagues and kinsmen in the media know what you’re supposed to be outraged by, right?
Right?
Violence & violent imagery to bully the press must be rejected. This #July4th, celebrate freedom of the press, guardians to our democracy

.@POTUS posts mock video of him attacking press, even after a GOP candidate did exactly that. Where will his downward spiral take us?

wew lads.
That is a rough situation for these poor, stupid bastards.
The entire media is continuing to run with this – Martha Raddatz used the word “threat” in connection to that WWE meme, and that is what they are all saying.
The terrorist magazine The Atlantic is saying he should get banned for threats of violence – after Brian Stelter said it.
So yeah, the timing was crucial.
Finally, people can see just how far these whackjobs and kikes have taken this “I AM SO OFFENDED BY THAT” meme of theirs.
The whole concept of “omg I can’t believe he said that” has gotten so out of control that they are claiming that people can literally die from a joke.
The Media’s victimization Complex
So, the whole Russia thing fell apart.
That’s because the media got caught in this little scam so they are now lashing out at Trump claiming he’s trying to harm them. This isn’t simply outrageous, it is also desperate.
This is actually what they are claiming now: “the President hates the truth because he caught us in a lie we were telling about him, so now he is trying to get people to hurt us because he hates us for telling the truth.”
The media hasn’t apologized about Russia. They did apologize for being so wrong about the election. The editorial boards of a bunch of major papers issued apologies to their readers.
I doubt they will apologize for the Russia scam.
This is all tied into the rise of new media.
I haven’t owned a television (unless it was hooked up to a computer) since I moved out of my parents house as a teenager 15 years ago. I was a little bit ahead of my time, and wasn’t a big TV guy to begin with, but I think this is mostly standard for anyone 30 and under.
With print, there is simply no reason to read NYT or WaPo over something else – such as this site you are presently choosing to read over another site – unless their content is better. A relevant measure of the news content’s quality is accuracy. In fact, I think I can say that is the primary measure of quality. The old print media, which is now on the internet with heavily-funded projects, has demonstrated that they have zero concern for accuracy. They are paywalling everything and begging people to buy subscriptions as they engage in massive layoffs.
Meanwhile, our numbers are exploding, and despite my lack of an ability to receive funds from all of you electronically – other than through bitcoin (please send) – the business model of this website, which has gone from being my personal blog into a type of not for profit full-service news outlet over the last four years (anniversary on Tuesday!), has long-term sustainability.
The ease-of-donation problem will be solved eventually, and as more people start reading the site, more people will want to contribute, and as more people want to contribute, the site will get bigger and better and more people will be reading it.
There is no ceiling on my business model, and I will own the New York Times Building.
There are options for the people.
So, Tucker Carlson’s potato analogy:
Your potato chip company is the only one in town. Then, other potato chip makers start appearing in town. Fewer and fewer people are buying your chips. Instead of looking at yourself and asking why people have lost interest in the product you’re selling, you begin lashing out against the customer, calling them haters, claiming they’re stupid and don’t know that your potato chips are the only ones that are any good.
But that’s not the way capitalism works.
Thank you, Donald Trump.
Thank you so, so much.
