One of the most common misunderstandings the right has about the left is they’re smart, calculated, and subtle. They’re not. The American left operates like a giant bully, vacuuming up charity money, forcing their ideology in popular culture, and legislating by blackmailing and extortion.
Whether it’s on gun rights, taxes, or social issues, the left isn’t smart in any way. They simply dominate by getting more money and pushing their propaganda extremely hard as often as possible.
The latest example comes as Joe Biden’s massive budget reconciliation law has a huge tax break for TV stations, newspapers, and online journalists who qualify. Translation: be a leftist journalist who’s nice to Joe and he’ll hand you a bunch of money. Cross him and you lose big.
Pay-for-Play
The details of Biden’s plan are fairly simple: publications, stations, and outlets can save $25,000 per journalist in year one and $15,000 per year per journalist in the remaining four years for a five-year huge tax break.
This adds up to around $130 million in savings for the Gannett newspaper outlet, for example, which is the biggest in the country. Taking money from a controversial and failing administration seems like something an ethical news organization would never do, right?
Well, money talks and journalists are already mostly pro-Biden anyway; therefore, this is just icing on the cake for them.
If Biden wants to push propaganda that’s against the Second Amendment, gaslight conservatives into thinking they’re to blame for all the country’s problems, and open up our southern border to violent drug dealers and traffickers, then who are we to complain?
Keep this in mind: you cannot accept gifts from a company you do business with, or in some cases you have to pay a tax on it. But it’s OK for the Biden administration to give millions to left leaning media stations in order to buy their “slant“ & that’s considered legislation.🤡

What Happens Next?
The Biden regime is failing so badly even some liberal journalists are starting to actually ask questions. Biden and his crew don’t like this. They want to return to the good old days of pure fake news. This payout should help a lot.
It’s true the tax break isn’t dependent on politics, but as we saw under the Obama regime, it’s very easy for financial institutions like the IRS to get involved in playing political favorites. Other countries like Canada already have state-run media that’s an absolute joke which worships leftist leaders so their funding and tax breaks don’t disappear.
Do we really want that in this country?

"Gannett, one of the nation's largest remaining newspaper chains, could gain as much as $127.5 million over five years, according to an analysis by the AP."https://t.co/9zOMdEV9cH— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) November 14, 2021
Where Did All the Good Journalists Go?
Journalism has always had an overabundance of leftists; let’s be honest. However, it’s certainly gotten worse in the past several decades. It’s now a profession for bullying, lying, and spreading propaganda.
Peter Doocy of Fox is practically the only journalist who even asks Biden and his regime any real questions. As I said, a few liberals are now starting to ask questions too, but this situation can’t continue with giving a free pass to anti-gun nuts inhabiting the White House.
