Utterly Tone-Deaf: In a Single Tweet, CBS News Shows Why the Mainstream Media Is ALREADY Dead

Meme

Earlier this morning, I wrote about a panicked article from New York Magazine -- and an equally panicked tweet from Brian 'Spud' Stelter -- in which mainstream media reporters and executives were concerned that if Donald Trump wins the 2024 Presidential election, it would be the death of the media in its current form

Obviously, the joke here is that the mainstream media is already dead in its current form. It's simply that -- as our editor Doug Powers pointed out at the time -- they have forgotten to lie down. 

As serendipity would have it, it was only a few hours after that article was published that I saw a tweet from CBS News that exemplified exactly why the legacy media has already shuffled off its mortal coil. 

This is the media today in a nutshell: 

There is so much in that one, brief tweet that I almost don't know where to begin. Maybe the best place to start is that it isn't even written in proper English. 

'At a truck in Wisconsin'? Hire a proofreader, CBS News. 

More substantively, however, is the complete tone-deafness of the tweet. There is no question that Trump's appearance in Wisconsin yesterday, in a custom garbage truck and wearing a safety vest, took over the news cycle in America. Even those on the left who hated it couldn't stop talking about it ... and still are today. 

Anything the Harris campaign said last night was lost in the wake of Trump's masterful and hilarious troll of Joe Biden. But according to CBS News, Trump 'tried to seize' on the comments.

(There we go again. Pouncing and seizing. They don't even realize that everyone laughs at them when they use those words.) 

Even more tone-deaf was CBS's implication that Harris was outperforming Trump because she is having Jennifer Lopez at her rally tonight in Las Vegas. Oh, is she going to NOT perform too, like Beyoncé? 

Whether J.Lo performs or just lectures voters is irrelevant, though. People DO NOT CARE about celebrity endorsements anymore. Sure, they're always nice to have, as when Brett Favre strongly and eloquently endorsed Trump in Wisconsin yesterday. But in the end, celebrity endorsements do not help people afford groceries, manage utility bills, buy a home, or keep their families safe. 

Nevertheless, the media still reacts to these endorsements (but only endorsements for Democrats, of course) like they are a 13-year-old girl seeing Justin Bieber on the cover of Tiger Beat. 

Wait ... Is Tiger Beat still a thing? Sorry, I'm old.

It is all fool's gold and no substance. Kind of like Harris herself. And definitely like the mainstream media. 

Underneath all of the media's disconnect, however, is the true fundamental problem. They are simply lying. No person with a pulse would characterize Trump's appearance in a garbage truck yesterday the way CBS News did unless they were trying to deceive their readers.

The good news, of course, is that their lies don't work anymore. CBS got ratioed badly for their tweet with some outstanding responses. 

That really should be the new official logo for CBS. 

CBS can't recognize this because they think just like Biden. They believe Americans are garbage. 

HAHAHAHA. 

There's little question that Harris will fill whatever arena she goes to in Las Vegas with Lopez accompanying her. That's the only reason anyone attends a Harris rally: for the celebrities. 

But it will still be dwarfed -- by an order of magnitude -- compared with the national attention that Trump commanded yesterday and is still commanding today. 

And THAT is the mainstream media's problem. 

They are no longer the referees. People can argue about whether or not they ever were, but during the Trump era, they have clearly taken off their striped shirts and joined the Democrats' team. 

Not only that, they are proud of it. Or at least too oblivious to recognize it. We know that because they all freaked out when Jeff Bezos recently told them that in so many words

No matter how much it might hurt Brian Stelter to hear it, the doctor has already pronounced the mainstream media dead and called in the coroner for the autopsy. 

What was the cause of death? Suicide.
