The following was posted to the legacy site earlier today:
Not that I generally give a flip what whores and pollsters have to say but the admission, albeit in an unintended way, in the added commentary to the answer here says a lot:
Luntz was asked: “If you had to bet $150,000 on who’s gonna win in November, who would you bet on?”
[Luntz:] “I never dreamed that I would say this, but I would bet on Trump. I never, I thought it was done. I thought it was over. You don’t come back from an impeachment. You don’t come back from January 6th, you don’t come back from any of this. …”

He is, of course, correct. I will also add the obvious: You don’t come back from openly steeling a presidential election by colluding with the Russians as a Republican and you don’t come back from inciting an insurrection as a Republican. The problem for the Luntz’s of the world is that so much of what they think happened really didn’t; simply putting hoaxes and fake impeachments into the public record and repeating them ad nauseum in the dictated narrative media does not make any of it real. A few moments of actual thought and Frank might actually come to realize exactly why he is so correct on this point. Alas, I will not be holding my breath for that.
I am quite sure that some small fraction of Luntz-types in the media have remained grounded and fully aware that they are shoveling nothing but BS. But there are many, some who occasionally self-identify like this, who either were never bright enough (see MSNBC) or who just drank too much of the Kool-Aid and are now shocked that real people may consume a whole lot of semi-entertaining network/cable fiction while still being able to focus on reality. The hypnotic trance of this type of media moron was on full display just the other day…watch the pathetic engagement and overwhelming uncomfortable silence of the narrative pushers here:
🚨 WOW 🚨
Vivek FLIPS script on Reporters, leaving media STUNNED by simply asking:
You can see that they never expected to be questioned like that, how dare anyone question them? And then with just a few things the one female reporter said, you could see how ignorant she was and how that entered into her skewed thoughts. Likely their political leanings enter into why none of them will admit there are problems here.
And it’s concerning when they’re the media who have the supposed job of ferreting out the truth and presenting facts to us — when they don’t seem to know the facts or seem to be interested in the truth.
[Emphasis added]
So many years of this reliable incuriosity to facts and truth coupled with universally shallow reliance on forced narrative coverage have continued to instill an ever-growing amount of anti-fragility into Trump the political figure. The remainder of the 2024 campaign will be interesting to watch as the media continues to be flustered by control laws that no longer work on Trump as nature dictates they work non-Trump candidates. The real funny part is that it was the media themselves (and their Never Trump enablers inside our perimeter) who created this “cult leader” and continue to empower him. Enjoy the ride.
