Greg Gutfeld Slams Media as 'Ball and Chain on American People'

June 3rd, 2019 10:41 AM

The media are often referred to as the symbolic fourth branch of government, however, that does not guarantee it is committed to delivering the truth and the facts to the American people. Essentially, in what will be an obvious observation to most, the media has become an extension of the Democratic Party, filled with liberal pundits and talking heads rather than neutral journalists and unbiased reporters. As a result, the citizens of this country find themselves playing the role of journalist on a daily basis, working to debunk the lies the media has spewed and find the facts by themselves.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld perfectly encompassed this point with an analogy on Saturday night’s edition of his show. Speaking of a competition where men showcase their strength by pulling an airplane, Gutfeld compared the contest to the press: “The media is that plane that we have to pull... a ball and chain on the American people for over two years creating a hot fever of hysteria all driven by hatred for one guy, Trump, who actually represents you."

 


Gutfled further pointed out how the media loathe President Trump to a degree where they are drowning in their own misery, and they have no other option but to create smear campaigns in an effort to override the will of the American people and impeach the duly elected President: “The Dems are just stupid enough to fall for the media's impeachment fantasy."

The strength of the American people will always prevail, as most Americans’ see right through the phony media smoke screen. As Gutfeld put it: “It's a testament to the endurance and the patience of this Republic, that we can put up with these hacks in the media and we still go to work at take care of business."

GREG GUTFELD: It's a testament to the endurance and the patience of this Republic, that we can put up with these hacks in the media and we still go to work to take care of business. Here's an analogy: Have you ever seen that strongman competition when massive dudes pull airplanes by themselves? Do you ever wonder why that massive guy is pulling an airplane by himself? Is he depressed? Is he angry? Is he emotionally damaged by an election? No, he is pulling that damn plane because he can. That massive guy is America, an entity so resilient that in times of peace and prosperity, we pull airplanes by ourselves just for kicks. The media, I'm not done with my analogy. The media is that plane that we have to pull... a ball and chain on the American people for over two years creating a hot fever of hysteria all driven by hatred for one guy, Trump, who actually represents you. And the Dems...The Dems are just stupid enough to fall for the media's impeachment fantasy but I love it.
