To (mis)quote Homer J. Simpson, 'The word 'bloodbath is used a lot these days ...'
Are you tired of seeing everyone on the left and in the media (but we repeat ourselves) use their latest catchphrase to try to claim that Donald Trump is a 'violent insurrectionist'?
Yes, this St. Patrick's Day weekend was a veritable bloodbath of media hacks and leftist social media 'influencers' misquoting Trump in yet another lame and desperate attempt to smear the Republican presidential candidate (who, oh by the way is currently leading Joe Biden in just about every swing state poll).
Unfortunately, for the media -- but fortunately for us -- the Internet is forever. So is video.
Yesterday afternoon, journalist Tom Elliott (with a little help from video editor @mazemoore) posted another classic supercut on Twitter that reveals that the media didn't ALWAYS find the word 'bloodbath' to be shocking and horrible.
And it is every bit as beautiful as you would expect it to be. Watch:
SUPERCUT!

Trump critics would never use a term like “bloodbath” pic.twitter.com/6dSTMwsfJa
Hang on. We're going to watch that one more time. Because we haven't stopped laughing yet.
All of our old favorites are featured: Rachel Maddow, Joe and Mika, Van Jones, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper, the ladies from The View, heck, even the recently humiliated Don Lemon makes an appearance. Good for him.
Seems they actually LIKE that word quite a bit, despite all of them clutching their pearls over the weekend when Trump said it. And look at some of the OTHER words they use regularly: 'massacre,' 'slaughter,' we even caught someone saying 'corpses' and 'leaving bodies in their wake.'

Yikes.
OMG - THEY’RE ALL CALLING FOR VIOLENCE! https://t.co/XGVMC1yFb9

We think the FBI should investigate each and every one of them. We should probably hold them all in a D.C. jail while that investigation takes place. You can't be too safe after all.
Greatest. Supercut. Ever. https://t.co/sv9G79iazv

Elliott does have a knack for the most delicious supercuts, doesn't he?
Well, this is awkward. https://t.co/2bIiI80vmP

We can just hear these media talking heads now: 'YOU TOOK THAT OUT OF CONTEXT.'
Really? You mean just like how you took what Trump said out of context when it was obvious he was referring to the economy? It should also be mentioned that the word bloodbath has a very specific meaning in reference to economies, unlike in this supercut where the media is using it in an explicitly political context (or about Taylor Swift tickets, where the word is very much appropriate, LOL).

And it is a very good thing that it doesn't.

We have very much been enjoying the recent bloodbath at media outlets like Vice, Deadspin, Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post, etc. There needs to be even MORE bloodbaths at those types of outlets.
Almost like they haze zero standards or credibility

Yeah ... 'almost.'
Propaganda media just fine when #DementiaJoe says #bloodbath pic.twitter.com/k6Jb02VTEg

Let's not forget that Barack Obama also used the term "bloodbath," and he used it in a way close to the way Trump did—suggesting that very bad things would happen if the other side wins. pic.twitter.com/ZyMp17Idmc

Oh, look — even more receipts.
Oops, corporate media. BIG oops.
Every time I watch these supercuts from MSNBC & CNN I feel like I’m watching the epitome of groupthink snobbery, and the most condescending miscreants in American society.

That's only because you are.
That’s a bloodbath of bloodbaths!

The elevators opening up in The Shining wasn't as much of a bloodbath as this supercut.
The high school prom Carrie White attended wasn't as much of a bloodbath as this supercut.
(Thanks for those, Stephen King.)

Wait, is that still funny, Kathy Griffin?
But when democrats say "bloodbath" they are using it in a loving, caring, unifying and compassionate way. https://t.co/PVL3VVqB4u

Ahh, that's right. It's (D)ifferent when they do it. Thanks for reminding us.
Perfect https://t.co/xGCMLKHtL0

Perfect, indeed.
And the media will learn nothing from it, as usual.
Which is why we're likely to see many more 'bloodbaths' in corporate newsrooms as the media continues to destroy its own credibility.
So, the next time a laid-off 'journalist' goes on social media and shouts, 'WHY???', we can just show them this video as Exhibit A.
