<p>Following left-wing media – as I am obligated to do &#8212; one is reminded of the colloquial definition of insanity – doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.</p>



<p>The news media has long had a lean to the left &#8212; which has devolved into hardcore radical left-wing propaganda in recent years. The stable of major port-side news outlets has included the Big Seven &#8212; ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, <em>New York Times</em>, and <em>Washington Post</em>. It is no accident that, with the exception of the <em>Post</em> – they are all within walking distance of each other on the island of Manhattan. There must be something in the air or the water.</p>



<p>The worst of the left-wing self-proclaimed news outlets is MSNBC. It operates as a Democrat left-wing propaganda machine from “Way Too Early” through “The Eleventh Hour.” Characteristics of propaganda, MSNBC provides only one perspective – censoring and canceling all other viewpoints. Their lineup of hosts, panelists, contributors and guests are among the most radical voices in TV land. </p>



<p>BUT &#8230; all that propaganda, the lawfare, the false narratives could not fool all the people all the time. While it was a close election, it was a yuge backlash and election defeat of the radical authoritarian left. After eight years of constant drubbing by the left, Trump improved his popular vote numbers &#8212; winning the popular vote – and increasing his Electoral College vote. </p>



<p>If Trump’s victory was close in its depth, it was breathtaking in its breadth. He improved his vote numbers in virtually every region of America – including the blue-ist of the blue states. ; He won every battleground state – even when those on the left predicted he was more likely to lose them all. ; Trump gained with virtually every demographic group &#8212; Blacks, Hispanics, women, youth, Jews and even Arabs.</p>



<p>As if a decisive and humiliating defeat at the polls was not enough, the oracles on the left – who had assured their followers of an all but certain victory for Vice President Harris – earned the wrath of the news consuming public. Left wing media cratered; MSNBC lost more than 55 percent of their all-important 25 to 54-year-old viewers. The worst of the left-wing propaganda outlets – MSNBC &#8212; got hit the hardest. Rachel Maddow, Jill Psaki, Alex Wagner and Lawrence O’Donnell recorded their lowest ratings ever. (If this was a podcast as opposed to a commentary, you would see my best I-told-you-so gloating grin.) </p>



<p>Now having said all that, you might think that those on the left would be more introspective. Maybe even changing their messages and strategies. But noooo. Even to my amazement, they are still spewing out the same old shopworn rhetoric. The same old false narratives. The same old fear-mongering. The same old lies. </p>



<p>Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy appeared on MSNBC’s Alex Wagner show peddling the absurd canard that Inauguration Day 2025 will be “the last day of democracy.” Wagner was still spinning Trump’s joke about being a dictator for one day following his inauguration as a serious authoritarian proclamation. They are predicting the future as if every lie and mischaracterization they said about Trump in the campaign were true. And it is not just a couple of oddballs. Across the far left spectrum, the talking heads are talking the same talk – hoping it will produce different results in the future.</p>



<p>While some Democrats think they had a messaging problem, others think (rightfully) that it was an issues problem. Those on the radical fringe seem to reject both those analyses. Why else would they continue with the same old campaign propaganda themes and false narratives that failed so miserably? </p>



<p>If it is not the message or the issues, then there is only one option left. ; It is the voter – too stupid or too evil to recognize the wisdom of the left. ; The left is reading from the same script that was rejected by the American people. ; It is political malpractice. ; It is insane. ; And I am delighted.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

The left doubles down on their failed propaganda and false narratives … yeah!!!
