Conrad Black: A Nightmare Campaign Of Outright Idiocy

Sadly true:
  In the absence of a feasible presidential nominee, the Democratic campaign is being conducted by the national political media with almost the sole exception of Fox News and its affiliates, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post. The New York Times has at least declared that its objective is not simply to report even-handedly but to oppose the Trump Administration. All the others do the same without acknowledging it.
   This is the general and entirely voluntary immolation of the professional integrity of the American news media. The majority of Americans recognize and respond in polls that they think the media is untrustworthy. The unofficial opposition to Trump is an informal alliance between hooligans, terrorists, Democratic urban machine crooks, mudslinging media, and a pernicious virus.
   With less than four months before the election, this is the campaign: a constant media carpet-bombing of defamatory lies about the president on behalf of a comatose candidate, propagation of unfounded hysteria over a fading pandemic, self-induced and redundant economic depression, open borders to admit and give free medical care to the unskilled peasantry of the world, and national self-abasement before militant African Americans demanding minority rule and the renunciation and degradation of those who founded the United States and led it to a pinnacle of influence in the world unequaled in all history. And this ludicrous, almost unimaginable, mockery of a quest for the world’s highest office is, in the perversity of these times, apparently leading in the polls.
   It is impossible and it will blow up.
Except for that last bit...which may or may not turn out to be true. We just don't know. If we lived in the America I thought we lived in, it would be true. But many of us have turned out to be more pliable and credulous than I thought we, collectively, were.
   Or maybe Biden and the Dems will surprise us all, evolve into vertebrates, and stand up to the moonbat left.
   Or maybe I'm radically wrong about everything. That, too, is a possibility.
