ANONYMOUS ACCUSATIONS ARE RUMORS

ANONYMOUS ACCUSATIONS ARE RUMORS

By Domenick J. Maglio PhD. Traditional Realist

From the beginning of time humans have said negative things that they felt about others but had no shred of evidence to substantiate their claim. Such things are said  as, this person is a wife beater, a child molester, racist, fascist, communist, thief, or other derogatory statements that besmirch the person’s reputation with no specifics. These accusations are called rumors until proven otherwise.

In our PC culture rumors are being strung together to create narratives. The feminists have gained sufficient power where a women’s word of sexual assault should be enough to convict the male accused. These feminists claim women do not lie about this type of incident while men are always the perpetrators. Moreover, all other “protected privileged groups” according to “identity politics” should be granted greater credibility than any non-elite white person.

This irrational thinking is making a mockery of one of our most sacred institutions: our justice system. Our founders understood that everyone had a right to a trial before his peers regardless of his social ranking. Evidence was presented and a jury decided if the accused committed a crime or not. Decisions were based on blind justice with evidence not on likeability, social or protected class or political affiliation.

The New York Times published a scathing op-ed article based on an anonymous source. Supposedly this source is a high official in President Trump’s administration or some have suggested merely a writer for the NY Times. He proudly argues that he used his inside power to thwart many of President Trump’s irrational and impulsive actions. This self-proclaimed “lode star” wrote this article to supposedly “protect the American public,” not by implementing the policies of President Trump that the electorate voted him into office to accomplish.

By the NY Times printing this “hit piece” they have committed at least malfeasance by using their powerful position to spread a rumor, which is now masquerading as a fact. These rumors about chaos, stupidity and abnormal behavior by President Trump have been spun by other media and opposing government representatives to evolve into factual evidence.

These sore loser anti Trumpers have unrealistically spoken as a chorus that he should be impeached under the 25^th amendment. This has happened without an iota of collaborating evidence. An anonymous statement has created an avalanche of hysterical narratives against Trump. This group-think reaction is based on a person who does not have the dignity and courage to stand by his astonishing assertions. This person is less than honorable in executing his duties in a responsible, legal manner, instead he has subverted the will of the people while he clings to his prestigious position and salary. This behavior is a blatant illegal act defrauding the government not fulfilling his oath of office.

This person supposedly wants to save the nation by sabotaging or resisting the direction of this duly elected president of the United States. Whoever the government bureaucrat is, he has no legal or moral right to countermand the inner workings of the US government.

The NY Times openly advocating the resistance to the 45^th president of the United States has been quite evident by its unethical journalism. These unnamed sources have been used over and over again to develop anti Trump narratives. Positive Trump stories have been withheld or buried. The press’s role is to print “all the news that is fit to print,” while speaking truth to power, which is not the same as rumor or falsehood to power.

Although this is an op-ed it emphasizes these media types already know that the government bureaucrats in the administration are resisting the Trump administration. This is a validation of the reality of the existence of the Deep State.

Reporters should report the news not create commentary. Newspapers should be ethical by maintaining standards of propriety that are equal to all sides of an issue.

The fourth estate (the media) should investigate rumors and corroborate evidence before releasing an unsubstantiated blockbuster story or expose themselves to ridicule.

If the media does not want to be called “fake news”, they need to stop speculating in rumors and stick to verifiable evidence before making themselves look like incompetent, foolish progressive advocates. America deserves more ethical publishing discipline in the media.
