Some Cheese For Alex Wagner And Brian Stelter's Whine About Sale Of Baltimore Sun

On MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Tonight, viewers were subjected to several painful minutes of self-indulgent whining over the purchase of The Baltimore Sun by David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Media don’t especially appreciate losing control of an outlet. Watch as Stelter lays out the case for why the sale of The Sun is such a terrible thing… You know what’s code language? Terms like “truth-based” and “disinformation”, which Stelter and his ilk constantly use in order to belittle and ostracize those outlets that are not aligned with a left-wing vision of what America should be. This entire interview is a tantrum about the fact that the left has lost a print outlet. Notice how Stelter whines about the advancement of political agendas, as if that weren’t what the “fact-based media” does on an exclusive basis (see: laptop, Hunter Biden). The “alternatives” that Stelter is calling on to rise are left-wing alternatives. To be clear.
