Conservatives have come to terms with the fact that the press are irredeemably biased to the point that legacy journalists act as de facto agents of the Democratic Party. It is impossible to quantify the impact the press have on U.S. elections, but their foot on the scale is certainly worth something. Time will tell if journalists can hoodwink the public into electing a vapid, unserious, failed vice president who promises to destroy the economy and continue her regime’s disastrous foreign policy, but they will undoubtedly give it their best shot.

Facing the monolithic leviathan that is the press and their extraordinarily pervasive and well-funded propaganda machine, it is sometimes easy to forget that while many journalists do have nefarious motives, most in the journalist class are also extremely childish and simple-minded.
