Security Blanket

By Tammy Derouin

Today's main stream media is a joke. They have abandoned their post as the seekers of truth. They once exposed corruption and delivered an unbiased account of what was happening in the world around us. What was once a race to uncover the story has become a race to rewrite reality. The media has willingly shackled itself to an all-powerful, controlling master. They have become paid stooges, promoting Left-Wing propaganda while protecting Left-Wing corruption.

The MSM has abused and destroyed the public trust. When they abandoned the American people, opting instead to pledge their loyalty to Left-Wing radicals or radicals in general, they began to descend into darkness. Once trust is lost, it is very difficult to get it back.

Sometimes it's difficult to admit that you have been deceived. After all, you put your trust into these organizations. For most of us, this has been a long term relationship. We didn't just start paying attention yesterday. Most of us have been watching and reading for years. Little by little things began to change. We have witnessed the betrayal right before our eyes. But even with so much evidence in plain sight, not everyone is ready to accept the truth. So begins the stages that you must work through to regain true reality.

Denial wraps you in an imaginary security blanket. It's only comforting in your mind. The more you deny and hide from reality, the more you allow the blanket to actually smother you. As reality becomes more apparent, anger comes into play. The anger, however, isn't just directed at the situation. You are angry at yourself for not seeing the truth sooner. Did you find reasons to defend or excuse their actions and behavior? Maybe you are dreading the, “I tried to tell you” conversation. As someone is waking up to the horrible reality that they've been mislead, the last thing they need is a condescending know-it-all. After all, that's what they've been drowning in; don't send them a life preserver with an anvil attached to it.

If you have come to the realization that the MSM is indeed a joke and cannot be trusted or taken seriously, then you must be coming around to the conclusion that the Democrats are not only delusional but they're hypocrites. Let's just take this for a spin and see where the tires begin to fall off. While their supreme leader, Obama, was in office, corruption, scandals and stupidity hit an all-time high, bringing the United States to an all-time low.

Obama destroyed our standing in the world and made a mockery of our country. He enjoyed doing everything he could to destroy the U.S. and he did it with a smile. He was even caught on an open microphone colluding with Russia. His comrade in crime, Hillary Clinton, arranged uranium deals with the Russians while she was the Secretary of State. Voter fraud has been a continuous problem with the Left. But let's not forget the Iranian nuclear disaster and the billions of dollars that Obama sent to our enemy, our enemy! Obama had a knack for favoring our enemy; putting them before the American people. Where was the press? Enjoying their pieces of silver I would imagine.

Now don't forget Benghazi, open borders, IRS, Fast and Furious, Loretta Lynch, the Clinton Foundation, Hillary's email scandal, Hillary's top aid having connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, inciting racial tension, as well as telling the American people that they are not responsible for their own success. Of course the list, believe it or not, goes on and on and on.

The Democrats, and the now enslaved press, didn't feel like any of this was news worthy or treasonous behavior. No, instead they tried to distract the public from the truth. The youngest voters among us were so out of touch with reality that they reverted to preschool soothing techniques to deal with the devastating news that Hillary Clinton was kept out of the White House. And so began yet another round of the blame game. The Russians must be to blame. Really, the Russians? The ones that were given uranium and were promised more flexibility, those Russians? They must be having a huge laugh at our expense.

If investigators really want something to sink their teeth into, I suggest looking back on eight years of the Obama administration. You would have to be blind, deaf and dumb to miss it. But that, ladies and gentlemen, is the reality of today's MSM.
