Fake News Awards - Mystic Wanderer - 01-18-2018
Well, it's been a fun day, and a tiring one. I've been posting memes on Twitter and FB all day.
There were many, many people taking part all over the world, so we got our hashtags of "#Great Awakening" and "#WeThePeople" trending as number 1 and 2 on the charts. That means lots and lots of people saw them.
I'm sure a lot of lefties were triggered, but hopefully it woke some of them up, which was our mission.
We were expecting the President to come out with the winner at 5 p.m. EST, but he only posted to Twitter with the winners less than an hour ago.

Quote:President Donald Trump’s inaugural “The Most Dishonest & Corrupt Media Awards of the Year” went to The New York Times’ Paul Krugman, ABC’s Brian Ross and CNN, among others.
The GOP.com website crashed in seconds as Trump revealed his Fake News Awards there:
Even so, within minutes, #FakeNewsAwards was the top trender on Twitter — worldwide.
Media had spent most of the day with its knickers in a state of high knottedness, trying to prep for the Big Reveal in the absence of any actual details.
After pushing the trophy show all day, Fox News Channel seemed to put on the brakes around 4:45 PM PT, when Martha MacCallum asked FNC’s media pundits if they too were waiting to see if the awards were going to happen, reporting that there has been some debate in the White House whether these awards are a good idea, given the “climate.”
“These elusive awards! I think the President has already accomplished his goal,” Kurtz laughed, “He’s gotten all of us to talk about it and he’s put the spotlight on what he calls ‘fake news’. I think some news organizations may want to get these awards to use as a badge of honor. He’s trolling the press here…I think he’s made his point.” Kurtz said he wasn’t sure Trump could “resist” announcing his award winners, even if his staff advised him it was “not such a good idea” and he should “just move on to the next crisis.”
But then Tucker Carlson went into full Trump and Media Have Hate-Hate Relationship mode for his 8 PM broadcast.
Trump originally announced his contribution to Awards Season would be held the day after the Golden Globe Awards. But, on Globes Sunday, Trump announced the rescheduling of his inaugural Fake News Awards for Wednesday, January 17, explaining the move came after “interest in, and importance of, these awards is far greater than anyone could have anticipated!”
Loosely translated: Trump had a scheduling conflict that Monday, being committed to attend the College Football National Championship game between Alabama and Georgia in Atlanta.
But, come Wednesday morning, Trump White House had revealed no details. Arizona’s GOP Sen. Jeff Flake went ahead and gave a red carpet speech anyway, on the floor of the Senate, saying, “Today the President intends to announce his choice for the ‘most corrupt and dishonest’ media awards. … It beggars belief that an American president would engage in such a spectacle. But here we are.”
Meanwhile, Arizona’s Sen. John McCain wrote an op-ed in WaPo: Mr President, stop attacking the press.
Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah showed up on Fox News Channel to promise to Harris Faulkner the Trump White House is “very excited about the Fake News Awards.”
“You have to stay tuned. I know there has been excitement for weeks now,” Shah insisted . “Few more hours, there will be an announcement a little bit later. I don’t want to get ahead of it.”
When 5 PM ET came and went, media began to foam over, having assumed the announcement was scheduled for that time, which was when it had been scheduled the day after the Globes, though Trump White House never said when it would happen on Wednesday:
Trump first proposed the idea of a “FAKE NEWS TROPHY” in a November 27 tweet. He originally envisioned picking the television network that “is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me).”
Late-night TV gleefully jumped on board. Stephen Colbert, who dubbed the awards The Fakies, kicked off the For Your Consideration campaigning with a Times Square billboard asking that his Late Show be included in such categories as “Fakest Dishonesty,” “Smallest Button” and “Least Breitbarty.”
Trevor Noah responded with a full-page ad in The New York Times, touting The Daily Show as most deserving.
Trump had made no mention of them since he announced the re-scheduling. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was similarly tight-lipped, even at Wednesday’s press briefing.
But Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, frothed about the awards Wednesday morning. “The Fake News Awards are tonight!” gushed Brian Kilmeade. “Do we have an outfit picked out? Have we rented a tux?”
“I wonder if there’s gonna be trophies?” Steve Doocy asked. Ainsley Earhardt said she’d make popcorn.
They promised anyone who missed the trophy ceremony could catch up on their show Thursday morning.
AND THE WINNERS ARE.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

It's their self-styled 'classism', their grandiose perception of themselves that stop them from connecting
to a market that would certinly boost their ratings.
Have you ever been to a party where the host and his/her close friends seem to be enjoying themselves
until you approach the group? That clique... that in-house humour that you can never be allowed entry to
and if you attempt to crack a gag or suggest something funny, the group's silence tells you're not one of
them.
Age can be factor as well as class. Geeky kids tends to steer clear of the bully at school and within their
wary faction, they create an agreed narrative that others are not allowed to abuse, it is precious only to
them.
This is the quandry of the mainstream press. Their way is the only way and when the try to invade the
many internet circles with change on their mind, they fail or find themselves the butt of a joke because
their intent is always obvious.
Can you ever believe a liar when he/she tells you he/she won't lie to you?
It's not just the MSM, the 'normies' can also feel the custard-pie that they've walked into, it's a cadre
that can never be accessed after it's formed and any johnie-come-lately is seen as someone who
simply wants to wrestle the control from the accepted members.
It never works.
Trump didn't pick these groups, they picked him.
Did they see him as unaccepted by the passels that one would assume he'd belong to? No.
A wealthy white business man who's never worried about getting the girl, face an adversery face-to-face
or fail to deliver promises on time... surely he'd never make the grade of the those who live in a reality
where those types of self-confident attitudes are day-to-day generalities?
President Trump straddles two worlds and that's what the media will never understand. He can boast and
pull people to him like a bully. But also being an outremer of the establishment, he's been taken by those who'll
never reach the heights of the oppulence and power, and turned into a ridiculed figure-head that these groups
can enjoy.
Does Trump know he is being patted on the back by certain areas of the internet and being laughed at -at the
same time? Does he care or does he just accept it's a weapon to use against an assembly of people who still
think their narrative is convincing?
Within those questions lies the amusement of the internet and as long as Trump remains their paper-tiger, the
mainstream media will never understand why they're still standing at the door with a glass in their hand and
wondering whether they are the reason a group of people at the party are laughing together.

In any class society of course, there's a strata.
For Hollywood, in this video, they discuss such layers of those better than us!
