The pendulum isn't swinging. It's swung. What the NYT, Washington Post and all those ridiculous online far left agenda driven "news" sources are realizing is most people think they lie. Not people in their bubble. The majority of the country think they lie. The media bubble who creates and advocates this woke nonsense with no proof and no due process feel justified by their Twitter bubble. But is that Twitter bubble enough to make their publishers money now?

I've been patiently waiting for this over the past years as this insanity has taken hold of the country where a vocal minority has been dictating the cultural and moral views of an entire country. When the studios, streamers, manufacturers, companies begin to realize there isn't profit in peddling this nonsense and they are leaving meat on the bone financially, things will change.

People seriously need to vote with their wallets -- that's all that counts. If you stop clicking links to these "news" sources they will change. I mean, look at CNN who has no ratings now and is trying to go back to being a centrist news source. Of course to do that, they need to fire all the hosts they currently have who were peddling BS first, but I think that's coming.

Seeing TikTok have a positive impact that went against elite media view tells me everything. The worm is turning.

Bad men should be held accountable. In court. Bad women should be held accountable too. In court.

This poison pen BS where a person wakes up to "You've been canceled" without being able to defend themselves is against everything that made this country great and a desired place to live for the rest of the world.

If the Tik Tok kids are with the majority of the country on some issues, the reporters from those publications huddled around tables in Brooklyn coffee shops this morning smelling their own farts should start to worry about how they're going to make rent in a year. Although, most of them are happily funded by proud parents.

Intuition. First a jury acquits Kyle Rittenhouse then finds in favour of JD. Progressive elite media has a choice, between less activist participation & more dispassionate reflection of hot button moments. Or it doubles down with a story of how their Utopia will just take longer to attain, because people are so Bad. My money is on the latter.

"In Salem, they tried to cover up their embarrassing year where 20 people lost their lives amid a mass hysteria event that might have had the hashtag #believechildren.". This quote deserves much wider distribution.

And thanks also for the link to Maule, who spoke against the hysteria, at some personal cost: For him: a blasphemy trial, at which he was acquitted by the jury, despite the orders of the judge. I did not realize that this acquittal was considered important, even pivotal, in the adoption of the First Amendment. Which is happily as big as thorn in the side of the average authoritarian, as it ever was.

So well put together! I believed Johnny because I've known a woman like Amber, and Amber had a history of abuse and I've seen, for a few decades, Johnny Depp's ex's speak highly of him. 15 years ago they could have just said nothing. I didn't understand why my kids believed Johnny, but having read your article and watched what I can stand of the links I get it. I judged him by his past (and don't think men suddenly START abusing in their 50s) and my kids are on TikTok and saw the trial clips/present. No one watches mainstream media.

I was scrolling through your feed and listened to this. Great job!

While listening, the Brett Kavanaugh hearing came to mind. There is video of Debra Katz, the attorney of Christine Blasey Ford speaking to a group of people. On the clip, Debra admits that the matter was “all about abortion.” They were willing to do and say anything, even if it would label Kavanaugh a sex offender. I saw this clip on the Laura Ingraham show. I believe that people have had enough of this vilifying behavior and aside from Amber’s many lies, this may have had something to do with a build up to the Depp

case win. The other instance is Rittenhouse. Regardless of where people are politically, people have a sense of fairness and decency. I have faith in the public at large.

How could AH have gone off the rails?

I believe it's because she is an actor. I've noticed so often that actors have no real person inside them. They become what is needed for the role, and that is who they "truly" are for that period of time. I've noticed so many actors have lived inside a make believe world for so long they think that is the real world.

When actors, as a group, take the very leftist positions they do it's because in their world, in the make believe world that they mistake for the real world, everyone has limitless amounts of cash without having to work at all, everyone has supernatural abilities to defend themselves without weapons, everyone has the ability to move on to the next reality when the current filming ends.

The very first time I saw AH in a movie I noticed in her a vacuum of terrifying proportions: terrifying for her to not have any idea who she is outside of the character she was playing.

Most actors cannot, psychologically, afford to ever not be playing a role or else they would be completely lost. Just consider the levels of substance abuse and deranged behavior in Hollywood. It's the only thing that keeps them going between roles, and it doesn't always work.

...just my opinion and observations...
