Political Snuff Porn

Silverfiddle Rant!

Glenn Greenwald on Congressman Matt Gaetz:

"The Florida Congressman may one day be indicted and convicted. For now, this episode highlights the dangers and abuses of trying a person through media leaks." 

I plead guilty to thinking Gaetz was all but convicted of child sex trafficking and drug use.  The New York Times said so! I scoffed at Gaetz's claims that it was all part of an extortion scheme aimed at him and his parents.

Did you know this?

"A Florida developer and convicted felon “was arrested on a charge that he tried to extort $25 million from the father of Rep. Matt Gaetz in exchange for a presidential pardon that would shut down a high-profile, criminal sex-trafficking investigation into the Republican congressman.” In November, that developer, Stephen Alford, pled guilty to trying to extort $25 million from Rep. Gaetz and his family.

In other words, the only component of this story that has thus far been confirmed — a full year after the NYT first trumpeted it — is the part of Gaetz's denial where he insisted that all this arose from an extortion attempt." (Glenn Greenwald)

 Yes, "The Right" does it too...

Hunter Biden has not been charged with anything.  Rightwing outlets dishing catty church lady gossip about his drug addiction and sad behavior--complete with cringy, voyeuristic pictures--are no less guilty than the mainstream Democrat sewage geysers.  

Feeding the Addiction...

It's all purposely provocative and salacious, delivering a giddy limbic sugar high combo of sin and political ideology, today's sick version of snuff porn. 

So, we have a humongous media double-standard in the handling of Gaetz and Biden. On both sides.  The left has the upper hand only because they own the institutional flagships like the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc.

Please read the entire article.  Greenwald--one of the few remaining real American journalists--thoroughly and concisely explains the issue, and the reader is much better informed at the end of this short read.  A rarity in today's Infotainment Media Complex

Who's to blame for the debased condition of the media today?  

We are.  We are addicted to this crap.  The Infotainment Media smut peddlers are just giving us what we crave.
