This is the Media-Collective sending a message that this kind of thing just isn’t allowed – a harsh reminder to everyone else that you will pay a heavy price amongst your own every time this happens. Newsweek takes a single step off the Leftist Narrative-Plantation and hell is rained down on them from more places than just Politico. Naturally, he’s never been this obsessed with tripping up and discrediting any of Newsweek’s liberal cover stories.īut this is more than about discrediting or even left-wing bias. Suddenly this same so-called media analyst whom we’ve caught in bed with Media Matters more than once is obsessed with fact checking. Politico’s Dylan Byers, one of the Media-Collective’s top conformity enforcers, has been especially rabid.

As you might expect, the blowback from The Collective has been fierce. But this week, the weekly dared to run a cover story written by a conservative that makes a damning case against Obama. Over the past years, the failing Newsweek has been a reliably liberal pipe-organ, especially after Tina Brown’s takeover. Over the past week, we’ve seen the worst part of the Media-Collective at work: what happens to those who dare, even for a moment, to defy The Narrative. Now seems like a good time to get to the point. If you want your stock to climb, if you want a seat closer to the king, tripping up the Republican party is your quickest route (and Ben Smith’s reason for living). And the finding of this nonsense-distraction is considered The Prize. Instead, though, it’s the complete opposite - an organism ruled by conformity, political correctness, and corrupt Narrative leaders like Politico, The Washington Post, The New York Times and whoever finds the latest nonsense-distraction to play whack-a-GOP with - to keep our eye off the economy. The media is supposed to be objective, competitive, and independent. But it’s not only especially grotesque and artificial in the media it’s dangerous. It’s a part of any subculture, including conservative ones. Obviously, the pressure to fit in isn’t felt only among our media overlords. The media might report that Obama is lying about Romney’s record at Bain Capital but The Narrative is entering week seven of demanding Romney release more tax returns. The media might report that unemployment has increased but The Narrative tells us that’s a good thing. The media does dutifully cover everything, but The Narrative is what drives coverage, the national conversation, and The Agenda. And by “fun” I of course mean the thrashing of conservatives and conservative ideas. The Narrative is everything - it’s the daily homecoming game where you better show up, look a certain way, speak a certain way, and not spoil the fun. These unwritten rules and the Borg-like collective conformity that manages the media does, I think, explain at least part of the day-to-day corruption we face. Media-approved conservatives like Joe Scarborough, David Frum, Peggy Noonan, and the like are just as bad maybe worse because they should know better. Like I said, it’s like high school, and wanting to be part of the cool kids’ clique requires conformity – and this conformity isn’t exclusive to only left-wing journalists. They’re writing, reporting, and tweeting only to satisfy and aggrandize The Collective - to continually prove they belong or to improve their standing. It has nothing to do with getting to the truth or informing the public. I’m not trying to throw a newsflash your way that the media is leftist, you already knew that, but what’s fascinating to watch is the CONFORMITY.īottom line: Everything a vast majority of the media does is meant to impress their own. The RIGHT things, the politically correct things: same-sex marriage, the Congressional Black Caucus - that kind of stuff.

To be fair, though, some things they do take seriously.
