Media's Jubilation at Mockingly Vulgar Statue of Naked Trump Results In Their Own Exposure
Yup.
The statues featured Trump’s signature coif and grimace, along with the sculptor’s imagining of a sagging derriere, and a sprawling gut overhanging some miniscule genitalia.
The figure was also, shall we say, sans testicles. The “artists” behind the project titled their oeuvre “The Emperor Has No Balls.”
As if the statue had not sufficiently nauseated the general population of Americans, media around the country, increasingly estranged from the country they actually live in, did their part to make the situation worse. Esquire characterized the display in Union Square as “a brief, beautiful moment in New York City history.”
The New York Daily News headlined: “The Trumperer has no clothes.” “The Huffington Post, not to be outdone in the upper realms of smuggery, observed, “Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly take one more hateful slur, tuft of yellow hair, idiotic threat, or troll-sized orange finger … this happens.” Hilarious!
...
The tone of the media wouldn’t concern if bias in its coverage of the presidential election and cultural affairs in America was not already so out of control.
Picture, if you will, a naked statue representation of Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, erected (erm...) by cover of night in Times Square and on the boardwalks of Los Angeles, the sculptor’s artistic license given free reign. Imagine the sagging breasts, the flabby tum tum, the far-less-than-pert buttocks, and for the coup de grace, creative depictions of the male genitalia. Would the sculptor go very short, or very long?
It is impossible to quantify the rage that our media would unleash on the nation and heap upon sexist and racist, so-called artists.
Meanwhile, "journalists" (including Jorge Ramos) are demanding that the already ludicrously-biased press become even more biased against Trump, or face the consequences.
It's as if the country were being run by an arrogant, pissed-off, vengeance-minded high school Yearbook Club.
