Christmas could also be upon us however politics rests for nobody, as we see on CNN State of the Union. Host Dana Bash as soon as once more tries to push the drained “King Elon” narrative however CNN commentator Scott Jennings was there to rapidly and expeditiously shut it down.
Watch as Jennings scores a two-for-one hit on the media:
CNN STATE OF THE UNION
12/22/24
9:45 AM
DANA BASH: I need to convey within the Elon Musk of all of it, as a result of this has been a by means of line of debate each by Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are saying he is the true President-Elect. Lots of Republicans are saying “that is not true, however thank goodness he did what he did.” Um, is that this going to put on skinny with Donald Trump quickly?
SCOTT JENNINGS: I do not assume so. I imply, look, they seem like getting alongside effectively. Musk was very instrumental in his victory. And I hear Democrats, you already know, criticizing the concept we now have unelected folks with an excessive amount of affect over the federal government. I invite them to select up The Wall Avenue Journal from this week and discover out that unelected folks have been working the federal government for the final 4 years. I hear Democrats criticizing, criticizing the affect of billionaires on our politics while you’ve bought this Soros punk working round gathering Democrat politicians like my children accumulate Pokémon playing cards. So I feel all of the criticism of Musk coming from the left is completely hypocritical, completely excessive, and he’s doing one thing fascinating. Bringing some transparency to the federal authorities. It’s not a horrible factor.
We noticed among the beginnings of the anti-Musk narrative when the preliminary Cromnibus invoice died in a flurry of Musk (and Ramaswamy) posts. Recall that it was CBS’s Norah O’Donnell who initially gave a voice to the left’s said issues over the affect of the “unelected” Musk:
NORAH O’DONNELL: As we appear to be witnessing the rising affect of the world’s richest man, unelected tech billionaire Elon Musk spent the day repeatedly and publicly calling on Republicans to vote no and referred to as for individuals who help the plan to be voted out of workplace.
These disparate speaking factors have been distilled into some variant of “King Elon” or “President Musk”, ham-handedly crafted in order to drive a wedge between Musk and President-Elect Donald Trump, which leads us to CNN State of the Union.
Jennings took this “King Elon” softball and proceeded to smash it over the fence. First, by linking that narrative to the non compos mentis Biden presidency as outlined in that Wall Avenue Journal article that the Regime Media nonetheless largely refuse to acknowledge. If the media are to whine in regards to the affect that unelected advisors are having upon coverage, then the present administration is definitely place to start out.
Jennings then pivots to the “billionaire” portion of the speaking level, calling out the hypocrisy of elected Democrats whining about Musk’s affect. As we identified not even two weeks after the election:
After all, this reporting is essentially unserious. The media are completely fantastic with billionaires dabbling in politics as long as they dabble within the proper politics. Nobody blinked when Mark Cuban threw on the Rachel Maddow glasses and shilled for Kamala Harris. Nobody recommended nefarious quid professional quos or conflicts of curiosity. Cuban was a patriot, you see, exercising his First Modification proper to shill for the Regime.
Likewise, nobody offers a rip that Dauphin Prince Alex Soros routinely posts footage of himself with captured Democrat politicians, in a fashion paying homage to an enormous sport hunter posing along with his trophies. Soros isn’t an issue, both.
Solely Elon is a matter, as a result of he selected to facet with the Dangerous Orange Man.
Soros enjoying Catch’em All with elected Democrats solely serves to spotlight the hypocrisy of a media which have misplaced their footing and are nonetheless reflexively shilling for the left. What Jennings exposes right here is the media’s shift, in actual time, from Regime to Resistance.
