Gagged by The Media?

For John, BLUF:  The People like The Donald because he can take a punch and come back swinging.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Writing for Town Hall, Mr Kurt Schlichter advises—"Don’t Let Liberals Tell You What You Can and Can’t Say About Hillary".

Here is the lede:

CNN Don Lemon’s terrified cry of “Abandon ship!” when I refused to play my designated Trump Thumper role last week was a moment the GOP candidates need to learn from.  It was more than just a hilarious meltdown by a stalwart defender of all things liberal – and the inspiration for multiple media appearances and hordes of new Twitter followers for me.  It was a warning that the Democrat-defending, palace guard mainstream media is going to fight to place many of the most devastating criticisms of Hillary out-of-bounds, and the incident offered a demonstration of how it will try to do so.

And here is the part quoted by Law Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds:

That’s a little taste of what will happen in the general election, but we conservatives have to face the heat and tell the truth.  Imagine Supreme Court litigator Ted Cruz (or whoever) on the stage at a debate with Hillary, when everybody’s watching and she’s minimally able to rely on the media to save her.  Hillary starts talking about what a friend to women she is, and Cruz comes back with her shameful treatment of the women her husband abused.  Yeah, I expect the moderators to pull a Candy Crowley and screech and intervene to stop it, and the next day the mainstream media will be full of pearl-clutching outrage about the Republican daring to bring up a subject that they’ve decreed was off-limits.  But normal people will ask. “Hey, wait a minute.  Hillary did what?  Why are we only hearing about this now?”  And the fact that we have an alternative media – talk radio, Twitter, Facebook, the net in general, means that we can get our ideas and our views out there.  They can’t gatekeep her track record of perfidy forever.

Thank you Don Lemon, not only for bringing me an ungodly amount of attention and making me a conservative martyr, but for revealing the mainstream media’s tactics, techniques and procedures to silence conservatives and keep them from telling the truth about your gal Hillary.  We have the truth, Republicans – let’s not be afraid to tell it.

So, stand up for the truth, or you will get railroaded, as happened to Mitt Romney when Candy Crowley lied to protect the President during a Presidential debate.
