Wait, I thought it was Donald Trump who lied all the time?

I pay as little attention to Nancy Pelosi as possible, and missed her ridiculous statement after the election, “I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.” The Deranged , currently trying to get through life with their heads exploding constantly, will believe just about anything Democrats say in denial of their accountability for Harris’s election faceplant (after all, Trump voters are all racist, sexist, ignorant garbage), and dozens of lies were spread on their behalf during the campaign without factcheckers raising an eyebrow.

But that Pelosi nonsense was apparently too much. It was too much even after the usual “He/She didn’t say what she said or if she did she meant something else” squad, which reliably follows a Democrat’s whopper as reliably as the little man with mustache, the broom and the trash can who followed the Parade of History that began the “Mr. Peabody” segments on “Rocky and Bullwinkle,” rushed to rescue the ex-Speaker. She didn’t mean illegal border-crossers, she mean those deported,” they said. Well, not deported, maybe, but arrested.

It was a lie, an obvious one, and Glenn Kessler gave her four Pinnochios, his worst rating.

This was one more sign that the 2024 election served to finally, at last, show the biased, dishonest, untrustworthy mainstream media that has been manipulating the news to bolster the political Left for decades, recognizes that their credibility, and thus influence, with the public has rotted to the vanishing point. MSNBC may be for sale. CNN is bleeding red ink and about to do another “talent” purge. ABC even says that “The View” needs to be overhauled. Exposed propagandists like Don Lemon and Jennifer Rubin are boycotting Twitter, because free speech doesn’t support their world views.

This is unequivocally wonderful. I regarded a decisive Trump win as perhaps more important for what it would do to the media than for anything else it might accomplish. These arrogant hacks really have been the “enemies of the people” and a festering wound on democracy. Four Pinocchios are a small step toward reform, but still a start.
