Death of Legacy Media?
Posted By: DW626, 7/22/2025 10:50:12 AM
Are we watching the death of the legacy media? These media companies are losing money by the bushelful. It’s unsustainable — as Stephen Colbert just learned. His show was reportedly losing $40 million per year. That’s an insane amount of money to lose on a single stand-up comedy/talk show. He reportedly had 200 people working on his staff. How does that compare to other evening shows in the comedy/talk space? Well, Greg Gutfeld’s evening comedy/talk show has… 12, including 2 cameramen. That’s right. Just twelve people work behind the scenes to put a far superior product on the screen.

Stephen Colbert wants you to believe he's some kind of martyred truth-teller, canceled by the evil corporate overlords for daring to speak truth to power about Donald Trump.
He’s not.
It's a compelling narrative, if you're the type who still thinks late-night comedy hosts are brave crusaders rather than overpaid establishment mouthpieces. But, rather than accept reality, he’s leaning into the preferred narrative that he’s being silenced and that it’s President Trump’s fault.
Ivy League schools are disgusting cesspools of indoctrination. They are rotten down to the roots. Invasive ivy is pervasive; many of the Ivy League professors are abrasive. They both have to go.
Yet Harvard, the epitome of effete education, has the unmitigated gall to plead with some judge to block the Trump administration from withholding federal funds.
Inside the ivy-covered buildings, the audacity of all-American optimism is usurped by soul-destroying ideology recycled from the compost heap of history. Ivy also thrives in compost, weaving its insidious way up the outside of their buildings. English Ivy is a particularly nasty variant;

Everyone hates James Comey.
Conservatives hate him for his role in the Russian collusion hoax, but also that absurd “86/47” social media post. In that ridiculous tale, Comey claims he saw some shells arranged that way while walking on the beach. The man has increasingly become more unhinged since he was fired by Donald Trump, almost ten years ago.
Democrats hate Comey for shedding light on the Hillary Clinton email scandal, wherein the former secretary of state used an unsecured email server for all official government business—a big no-no
Hunter Biden really walked smack into it when he “crashed out” during a YouTube interview with Andrew Callaghan that was released today. Now, when you look at the data, Hunter is of course completely wrong: statistically, whites commit the fewest crimes…by far. And, if you were to remove all the blacks and Hispanics included in those “white” crime statistics, that number no doubt falls drastically.
However, in one sense, Hunter is right on the money: White men are significantly more likely to commit a crime…if you’re a white man like a Biden.
If you’re a “white man” with the last name Biden,
Now that President Trump's National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, is exposing the depths of the Democrat deep state's disinformation operation against President Trump as a Russian agent as he entered office in 2021, it's worth noting that the operation had a lot of casualties on the way -- people who were smeared, often in the press at the explicit direction of the Obama White House -- one of whom was Gabbard herself.
Anyone recall how Hillary Clinton attempted to smear Gabbard herself as a "favorite of the Russians" and a "Russian asset"?
Tulsi Gabbard ‘cannot fathom’ how

Durham, Mueller missed evidence of ‘years-long
coup’ against Trump 21 replies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard (DNI) was baffled by how special counsels run by Robert Mueller and John Durham missed evidence of what she alleged was a “years-long coup against President Trump.”
On Friday, Gabbard’s team made public over 100 pages of memos, emails, and other material that revealed the Obama administration had quietly concluded Russia didn’t impact the 2016 election’s vote totals via cyberattacks.
Gabbard has cited those documents as evidence of a “treasonous conspiracy” by the Obama administration to amplify “manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped”
The Deep State wasn’t born in secret—it was sired by a “reformer” president who rigged the rules to protect patronage and planted the roots of today’s unaccountable bureaucracy. Mr. Andrew C. McCarthy, Esq., has been unequivocal in both his condemnation of the machinations regarding the deceitful weaponization of government known as “Russia-gate” and his conclusion that there is likely no recourse to criminal law to hold accountable two of its key perpetrators: Mr. John Brennan and Mr. James Comey.
In my heart, I hope he is wrong, but in my head, I know he is right. Why? Because the federal bureaucracy and its Deep State are designed for insularity, not accountability.
When Everybody Was Going To The Moon

Back in 2009, the late Charles Krauthammer wrote something wonderful about the moon landing. Here it goes:
For the first time in history, the moon is not just a mystery and a muse, but a nightly rebuke. A vigorous young president once summoned us to this new frontier, calling the voyage “the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.”
We came, we saw, we retreated.
How could we?
Yes, I miss those trips to the moon.
It was July 20, 1969, or 56 ago today. I understand now what my mom used to say, that time flies after you turn 21.
I often say that my generation—the Baby Boomers, especially the Jewish ones—grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, because all the adults in our world had been affected by it or at least by WWII. That’s why it’s so utterly infuriating to see the Democrats accuse Trump and his MAGA supporters of being a cadre of Hitlers and using all sorts of Holocaust imagery to attack Trump’s enforcing long-standing American law to repatriate illegal aliens.
I was born 16 years after WWII’s end. Every adult in my world had been touched by it. My father was a refugee. His mother’s family in Germany and his father’s family in Poland
Did Ghislaine forge the Trump letter?
6 replies
So, now we know why all the fury the last few days over Jeffrey Epstein and his missing or never-existing files. Somebody had leaked the contents of a 50th birthday album of letters his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell assembled for Epstein. They first needed to fan the flames inside the media to trumpet what they had, in order to make a big splash. It turns out what they had was not much. A very odd letter from Trump typed up over a female silhouette and signed, Donald.
I agree with JD Vance -- the wording doesn’t sound like Trump. If DJT was going to send his swinging best buddy a birthday greeting,
On Saturday, The Washington Post published an Editorial Board Editorial lamenting the collapse of government credibility. It was 840 words long but only 73 really matter. Here they are: “In 2020, a group of 51 former intelligence officials shredded their credibility by signing a public letter insisting the release of Hunter Biden’s emails ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’ The laptop that contained them was authentic. Joe Biden’s campaign knew that when it pressured social media companies to suppress stories about its damaging contents...”

Most people use their allotted sick time for an unexpected illness, sick child, or medical procedure and don't see the utilization of that time as having the potential to be an act of civil disobedience or protest against the government or their employer. However, one group rising in membership plans to use their sick time for precisely that — taking a page out of organized labor's handbook and using their collective action to expose and potentially even directly impact what they view as systemic injustices against the working class of the United States. Known as "The People's Sick Day," the online
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued a demand Monday for the “immediate withdrawal” of all soldiers from Los Angeles, after the Pentagon announced that the U.S. Marines would be pulling out of the city.
In a statement, Newsom said:
The women and men of the California National Guard deserve more than to continue serving as puppets in Trump and Stephen Miller’s performative political theater. There was never a need for the military to deploy against civilians in Los Angeles. The damage is done, however. We, again, call upon them to do the right thing and end the militarization once and for all.
Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., have introduced a bill that would generally require those conducting in-person business to accept cash as payment from customers. "Any person engaged in the business of selling or offering goods or services at retail to the public who accepts in-person payments at a physical location … shall accept cash as a form of payment for sales made at such physical location in amounts up to and including $500 per transaction," the measure stipulates, in part.

Monday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Axios reporter Alex Thompson said Hunter Biden revealing his father, President Joe Biden, was on Ambien was “really striking.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “Hunter made headlines of his own in a more than three-hour-long interview on a podcast, touching on a number of issues, including the 2024 campaign. He vehemently defended his father while revealing a new detail about the debate.”
Hunter Biden said, “I know exactly what happened at that debate. He flew around the world basically and the mileage, he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as *. They give him Ambien
The leading official who presided over the U.S. Naval Academy’s use of racist affirmative action admissions policies is being replaced, the Pentagon announced on Friday.
According to a Defense Department press release, Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Michael J. Borgschulte has been nominated to replace Navy Vice Adm. Yvette Davids as the superintendent of the renowned military school. Davids — who was nominated to her now-former position by President Joe Biden — has since been reassigned to be the deputy chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans, Strategy, and Warfighting Development.
James Comey broke his silence on Sunday evening and went off on President Trump after the Justice Department fired Maurene Comey.
Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, was fired as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office last Wednesday.
“There was no specific reason given for her firing from the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, according to one of the people who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters,” the AP reported.
Maurene Comey didn’t call out Trump by name, but she attacked the president and his administration in a message after being fired.
The Deep State Is in Real Trouble Now

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just lit a fuse under the deep state—and it’s about time.
Appearing Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Gabbard dropped a stunning accusation: that Barack Obama personally directed a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. And now, according to Gabbard, the floodgates are opening—whistleblowers who were sickened by what they witnessed are starting to come forward.
A Department of Justice employee claims she was fired after feds discovered her husband had developed an anti-ICE phone app. Carolyn Feinstein, who is married to ICEBlock developer Joshua Aaron, said she was unfairly removed from her post in 'retribution' against her partner's work. The ICEBlock app sets out warning signals to users when ICE agents are within a five-mile radius of their location, allowing targets to flee. After Aaron was exposed online for creating the app, Feinstein said she was terminated from her post as a forensic accountant after almost a decade working for the DoJ. 'This was retribution.
Hunter Biden lashed out at the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, arguing there would be no one to cook, clean and do landscaping if they are all deported.
In a wide-ranging, profanity-laced interview with Andrew Callaghan, the former first son took issue with Democrats who believe American concerns about illegal immigration need to be addressed.
“F*** you,” he said. “How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f****** table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your f****** garden.
In a post on X, Fateh, who is described as the Minneapolis version of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, revealed that the DFL had endorsed him. Fateh expressed that he was “honored” and added that the endorsement was “a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual.”
“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor,” Fateh said in his post. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
