Source: Trump wants to dump the Paris climate deal, but 71 percent of Americans support it, survey finds – The Washington Post

One of the unforeseen benefits of the last election is the enormous favor conferred upon people by the outing of most of the popular media outlets. The already stretched credibility of the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, among others, visibly snapped as their blatantly partisan reportage blew up in their faces like a prank cigar.

The great favor to which I refer is the time that will be saved by the public totally ignoring any articles with their bylines.  When you visit the most popular news aggregator, Google News, the majority of the linked articles are from the above mentioned sources. Once you bypass all of the detritus, spurious spin and manufactured hysteria concocted by these media outlets, taking in the day’s real news should only take 5 minutes.

Now that the initial shell shock of the loss by their favored candidate has subsided, their focus is now on the devastating effect that an incoming Voldemort administration will have on a naïve public.  Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

The surprising shock (to them) of  electoral defeat is mainly attributed to favorable polls, which up until decision day, were convincingly pointing to a Clinton victory.  You can imagine the outraged customers of the pollsters demanding refunds as if they were at Macy’s on the day after Christmas.

Pollsters haven’t had a good time of it over the past while, with the failure to predict the Brexit vote another recent yuuge failure.  Legitimate sampling is an effective statistical analysis tool and properly employed is the basis for many decisions in all industries.  In the case of recent political polling, I suspect that samples were taken from homogenous groups which were likely skewed towards a given response.   I also suspect that the same people were tired of the same pollsters asking the same questions.  After the 10th time, none of your damn business would be the box ticked.

It’s amusing then that in the linked story, a survey of 2000 people, from Chicago, was offered as proof that Americans ‘favored’ the Paris climate deal even as Trump was skeptical of it.

Chicago.  To ask a question of that type to that pool of respondents is like asking frat boys on their opinion of bikinis vs burkas.  The article is essentially worthless.  But rather than having to read the entire story, people can make more efficient use of their time by noticing the source of the story, which in this case is, surprise, The Washington Post.  As noted earlier, they can simply ignore the story and go directly to the football scores.

Post the US election, there seems to be more and more evidence to prove the existence of a rampant disease affecting the part of the brain that controls reason and logic among a large part of the population. It seems to be an outbreak of ‘adultus interruptus’.  The tsunami of hysteria and petulance released by almost all quarters of the media and entertainment sectors is unprecedented in our time.  But that’s somewhat understandable; no one likes to lose.  As Vince Lombardi famously said, show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.

I get it. The Seahawks’ loss to the Patriots in SuperBowl XLIX still stings.  Usually however, the dust settles and life goes on.  But in the case of the liberal left, they just can’t let it go. They feel compelled to loudly push their obtuse views as if they were Hare Krishnas at airports from the ’60’s. They are like the unfortunate homeless lost souls seen mumbling loudly to themselves in many inner cities.  Imagine if they followed you everywhere and interrupted every aspect of your life.

The particular act of petulance described in the linked story is but an example of the puerile and annoying behavior foisted upon the public by the possibly brain damaged left. This particular fashion designer will not dress the new First Lady and no one else should either!  Oooh, take that!  Many will recall singers not allowing their music to be played at Republican events.  Ooof!  And all their friends too! Wasn’t this a Lindsay Lohan teen movie?  Does this not remind parents of children who cover their eyes and demand not to be looked at when they don’t get their way? And they wonder why no one takes them seriously.

As the New York Post columnist Kyle Smith remarked, the hysterical left have been barfing over themselves since the election with their bleating hysteria.  It’s stunted adolescence in the extreme and they are kicking and wailing as their fantasy bubble seems to be deflating.  As parents know, you can’t reason with children when they’re hysterical.  All you can do is place them in a time out corner.  Four years at least.
