The precise Thanksgiving Day has handed. Probably the media is letting forth a sigh of aid that whereas the Christmas season is now upon us, honoring Santa Claus is a complete lot simpler than going by way of – once more! – the annual debate over these pesky Pilgrims and what actually occurred when these European white guys landed on the shores of New England, poised to steal and ravage the whole lot belonging to Native People.
Geoffrey Dickens right here at NewsBusters has completely touched on the issue lefty journos have in coping with Thanksgiving Day. Amongst different issues he famous: “Over time the MRC has tracked liberal journalists’ hatred of this very American vacation and the way they’ve tried to smash it for everyone. The next are a few of the most egregious examples of lib journos makes an attempt to wreck Thanksgiving:”
He goes on to checklist 3 ways the lefty media has organized its disdain, together with:
— America was “based on violence”
— Politics smash Thanksgiving, until you are lecturing conservatives
— How dare (Republican) presidents exploit Thanksgiving for photo-ops
Geoff does an important job of illustrating simply how the lib media treats a singular and decidedly favourite American vacation.
However with out query, the media has not made the sale of its disdain for Thanksgiving to the American individuals themselves.
All one has to do is watch the normal Macy’s Thanksgiving parade in New York and the media’s drawback is clear.
The streets of New York — lefty New York at that! — are jam full of hundreds of People cheering on marching bands from across the nation, to not point out these gigantic balloons of this or that cartoon character, all of these anchored in some trend that leaves watching children agog.
A couple of years again, together with a number of cousins, I ventured into Manhattan the night time earlier than Thanksgiving to observe these balloons and floats be prepped for his or her debut the subsequent day. It was a tremendous sight.
The balloons and floats had taken over the facet streets of Manhattan, and people facet streets, to not point out the principle avenues had been already full of hundreds of standard of us who had been there to get a sneak preview of what the world would see by way of the eyes of the tv lenses the subsequent day. There was, fairly actually, appreciable issue simply strolling alongside the streets. They had been jammed with individuals of all ages oohhing and ahhing as they watched the balloons and floats get prepped for his or her vacation debut.
And that subsequent day debut was precisely like what People and the bigger world noticed Thursday as they waited for the household turkey to be cooked to perfection together with the standard assortment of facet dishes.
The streets of New York — say once more the streets of the most important deep-blue metropolis in America — had been full of tens of hundreds of individuals cheering on the parade, to not point out giving the ultimate float a rousing cheer for the pink suited jolly man who sat atop that float on the finish of the parade. Santa Claus in fact!
All of which ought to (however most likely received’t) ship a message to the left wing, Trump-hating media that whether or not it’s the hundreds filling the streets of New York for the Macy’s parade or thousands and thousands extra stretched round the remainder of the nation who’re watching the TV parade protection from residence, People should not shopping for the gloom and doom about America or its present President repeatedly dumped out of tv and laptop screens by left-wing journos.
Now the Christmas season is formally launched. Adorned Christmas bushes are already showing by way of the home windows of houses and companies in my Pennsylvania neck of the woods. And so too are they already in proof out right here on Japanese Lengthy Island (the decidedly not-the-Hamptons elements the place prolonged household resides, though Christmas decorations are popping on the market too!)
Which says that one of many decidedly unintentional messages from all of that is that attempt as they could, the lefty media isn’t solely not convincing common People that one thing is very incorrect with their nation and their President (that will be the President they voted for in 2024) however they’re going about their on a regular basis enterprise and never shopping for into the anti-American propaganda that spews forth from varied lefty networks and newspapers.
Think about that. So on all of us go — with a Merry Christmas and Glad Hanukkah now within reach.
Even when that makes the liberal media an digital model of a Charles Dickens’ favourite — Scrooge!
