Conservative Media Outdoes Fake Media in Shunning Trump & Supporters On His Return To the Public StageBurning Question of the Day: WHERE did the Battle to Save America; the Battle to Save the West go? Given the tepid, barely-there response of conservative media outlets to the first public speech of President Donald Trump at the GOP Convention in North Carolina last night, some 75 million, plus voters must be at least starting to wonder.

The Great Conservative Shutdown

Were it not for RightSide Broadcasting and C-Span, would disenfranchised Trump voters even have known that their leader made a long-awaited victorious return to the political stage last night? It should be called The Great Conservative Shutdown. The snub of his speech to the thousands strong North Carolina crowds, by conservative media outlets is not just a slap in the face of the former president—but an even bigger one to the faces of some 75 million voters who voted for his reelection on Nov. 3, 2020. The sad unavoidable truth is that the MAGA contingent is not just being ignored by far left Fake Media—from whom they expect it—but by many, if not most, of the self-heralding and highly competitive ‘Conservative’ Media. Six months after Election 2020, Trump and his MAGA movement seem to have fallen down to the bottom of a Conservative rabbit hole. So far this morning, only Breitbart and Newsmax afforded above-fold front page coverage of the Trump speech in North Carolina. ABC, CNN, CBS, Fox Carolina paid lip service to the event. Fox News coverage of the speech: ‘Trump demands 100%-tariffs in Chinese goods, debt cancellation and $10T in reparations for COVID-19’, was 10 minor stories down from their main headline as of press time. Their early morning main cover story? ‘Twitter declares access to its platform a ‘human right’ amid censorship of conservatives’.

Prominent on Fox even as Trump was speaking in North Carolina was a promo for Fox talking head Dan Bongino, promising viewers to ask tough questions of all Democrat politicians. But we’ve heard that song far too many times before. Media hit pieces on Trump at Democrat-influenced news outlets like CNN, MSNBC et al, are easy to spot—because they don’t try to hide it, even when their ratings are crashing. Media hit pieces on Trump from Fox News are more subtle and therefore much deadlier. Starting with Fox contributor Tyler Olson as far back as on Feb. 13, 2021, the words :
“Trump's second impeachment was spurred by the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump, after months of making false claims that he'd won the presidential election, called a rally in Washington, D.C., with his supporters for the same day Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence were meeting in a joint session to certify the results of the election. “Trump, at the rally, repeated his false election claims and he and advisers used pitched rhetoric, riling up the large crowd. Trump at one point in the rally told his followers to "peacefully and patriotically" march to the Capitol, a comment his defenders point to as part of the reason why he does not bear responsibility for the ransacking of the Capitol.”

Tyler Olson is not the only one who includes these words in his Fox News reports because they are the same words used to describe Trump in dozens of Fox stories since the 2020 Election. Even a cursory research by those who think it worthwhile proves my point. From today’s Fox story on the Trump North Carolina speech:
“Trump also reiterated unproven claims regarding the integrity of the 2020 election – comments that resulted in Trump’s two-year ban from Facebook.”
Are we all to believe that it was Trump’s “reiterated unproven claims regarding the integrity of the 2020 election – comments that resulted in Trump’s two-year ban from Facebook”? Shouldn’t all talking heads on the Fox News payroll be asked outright why they continue to cash pay checks from an outlet that includes these words in many, if not most of their stories? Who among us ever thought that while the candle called MAGA was sputtering that it would be the conservative media who came along to try to blow it out? Who ever thought that it would be conservative media trying to dump Trump as persona non grata? Meanwhile, it is not the talking heads at Fox or the attention-flagging “ME!”ME!”ME!” egotists in the conservative media who will Save America and the Free West. It is the 75-million, Trump described “plus, plus, plus” Americans whose votes were taken away from them on Nov. 3, who will. Long live MAGA!, the only way to Save America!
 Go Donald Trump, Go!
