Bill Maher knows how to make his studio audience laugh. The rest of the country he knows how to piss off. In comments on his show he said the reason Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina election was because the people in that state are racists just like Gingrich. Really? That ranks right up there as one of the most moronic, out of touch, insensitive statements of all time. Sure, I understand Maher hates religious people and dumps on people he perceives as religious every chance he gets. South Carolina is one of those places. He goes out of his way to shove his hatred in our faces. Got it. Now he wants Barak Obama re-elected, so every group in the country is going to be labeled racist if they go against what Maher and the media at large think get Obama four more years. So that is going to be almost everything that happens between now and November. And they are going to be heavy-handed and in our faces every chance they get because they think they speak for the majority – and they DO, in NYC-DC-LA-SF. As for the rest of us, not so much.
The American media is out of touch with the people they are trying to entertain. The shticks they do are aimed at themselves leaving out 90% of the country and shrinking their markets. In a sane business world the managers at the media outlets would look at what the majority of the country is thinking and try to develop their information to fit, but that would be with a sane group. These people are pushing THEIR agenda and expect us to buy it. We're not and it's evident in the number of layoffs and closures at newspapers - including many of the big name papers. It’s understandable how they got that way – they only talk to themselves, share ideas with each other, interview each other and congratulate each other for comments and ideas the rest of us look at as idiotic. Again, they are not listening.
The best example is the post-election analysis of the 2010-midterm elections. After the elections the media crammed it down our throats that the outcome meant Americans want politicians to work together in Washington. They were wrong. There is MASSIVE anger out here in “flyover country” toward Washington and our Ruling Class. What the results meant were we wanted representatives to go to Washington and stop the Obama Agenda.
The irony is our elected officials ignore that anger and make fun of the middle of the country right along with the media like it's an inside joke only THEY are smart enough to understand. They are playing to the media instead of the people who elect them.
Newt Gingrich has hit gold by touching on that anger and playing to it. Most voters know Gingrich has a lot of baggage, but we don’t care. (We have to THANK the American media for desensitizing us for fifty years by their relentless defenses of the high levels of depravity by Democrats.) What we care about is someone who says what WE are thinking and doing it on the Big Stage. We want someone who stands up for America rather than telling us how bad it is while trying to drive it into bankruptcy and punishing Americans for their inability to lead or quit spending OUR money.
Our media thinks WE are the morons who are too stupid to understand their brilliance. Their problem is we DO understand their arrogance and disagree with the direction their “brilliance” is taking us.
Americans Deserve Better.
