Cheap Tricks
When power loses its grip, it panics, twists facts, tries to discredit, and in this case, falls flat on its face.
You and I know the legacy media have done an embarrassing job of covering violence, crime, and those who commit it, for the past decade.
Independent journalists stepped in to fill the void.
Now, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is trying to twist the narrative to get attention off what is going on in places like Portland, Oregon, by attempting to discredit these journalists.
The legacy media lost its journalistic credibility years ago.
They cower to cultural politics rather than report what’s going on.
The desperation in Wyden, Oregon, Governor Tina Kotek, and others is embarrassing.
They try to tell the world everything is fine, but it’s not.
Yes, the whole town is not a warzone, but that’s the media, twisting the mispoken words of the president, like they always do.
Drive through downtown, or along the freeways, and the results of mismanagement are obvious.
The once beautiful city is tainted with garbage, debris, and human waste.
You don’t have to be a journalist to see that.
But for the deniers, it's easy to live in the suburbs, avoid downtown, and ignore what you’ve gotten used to.
There are videos everywhere showing the altercations that go on near ICE headquarters and federal buildings downtown each night.
But Wyden and his co-conspirators use their media to put just enough doubt in people’s minds, rather than focus on the problem and clean up Portland.
Does Wyden and his crew question every video or story the legacy media does?
Perhaps they should, but they don’t.
But they question the validity of everything these truth tellers uncover or expose to the people of Oregon.
They question only those they are trying to discredit who refuse to align with their narratives.
These individuals are so consumed by their hunger for power that they fail to recognize that their credibility has vanished.
As they grasp and claw at straws, they find themselves falling into yet another rabbit hole.
The powers that be are not concerned with crime, safety, or livability.
This is about their lust for power, their hate for Trump, and their obsession with control.
Oregon has completed all of them.
It’s a cheap trick, and the only people falling for it are those who ignore the obvious.
