Media Fluffers lie like a rug for Beto
So last night, President Trump held a rally in El Paso.
And the pictures of the over-flow crowd are quite something to behold.
Here’s one:
Holy smokes! That is a hell of a lot of people.
And that’s just the overflow crowd. Inside the venue was another sixty-five hundred people.
That crowd goes back so far, you can barely make out where it ends.
In the interests of full disclosure, I do not do well in crowds. If I had to stand in that sea of people, I’d end up in a full-blown panic attack.
Those guys are packed in like sardines for as far as the eye can see.
All over social media last night, I saw picture after picture of this overflow crowd. And every picture was taken from the front looking back over the vast sea of heads.
Then there’s Beto O’Rourke’s rally.
According to the Guardians of the Truth, the Beto fest was ten-thousand strong!
Here’s a screen grab from a video Beto O’Rourke posted to Twitter.
Yeah. Unless more than half the audience is made up of invisible people, there is no way in hell that’s a crowd of ten thousand.
I’ve seen larger crowds at a high school pep rally.
Even a claustrophobic gal like myself would be able to stand in that audience without even breaking out in a sweat.
So why lie?
Why pretend the only people who came to see Trump were the sixty-five hundred inside the venue while ignoring the immense sea of people outside in the overflow crowd?
And why claim that Beto’s rally attracted ten thousand when it is clear from Beto’s own video, the crowd is nowhere near that large?
I mean aside from the fact that the news media lies all the time, why do it?
The answer is simple.
Narrative.
The news media settled on what the El Paso narrative was going to be long before either rally began.
The narrative they crafted was “Wow! Not a good thing for Trump to face-off with Beto in Beto’s own backyard! Boy, did Beto totally own him!”
What you have to remember is these guys are not “reporters;” they’re fluffers.
And in a match-up between President Trump (whom they despise) and failed Senate candidate Robert Francis O’Rourke (whom they LOVE!!!), so-called reporters can’t wait to be Beto’s personal fluffers.
They want to build him up, make him seem more popular than he really is, and set up the narrative that even in solidly red Texas Trump can’t attract as many people as that super-amazing guy Beto O’Rourke.
So they lie – either by omitting the vast number of people in the overflow crowd at Trump’s rally or by out and out lying about how many people turned up at Beto’s.
They’re fluffers.
Not that fluffing for Beto is new. These guys have been Beto’s fluffers ever since he ran against Ted Cruz.
Why do you think Democrats throughout the country were so convinced that Beto was going to spank Cruz in the 2018 Midterms?
They were knew — just knew — an upset was coming in November because the media fluffers portrayed Beto as far more wildly popular than he really was.
Look at Beto’s crowds!
Look at him skateboarding!
OMG! He’s doing air drums in his car!!!! I can’t even!
Even his flop-sweat is sexy!!!
As much as the identity politics-driven Left in both the DNC and the media long for a woman of color to run for President in 2020, at the end of the day, these guys won’t hesitate to toss Kamala out on her caramel-colored ass if Beto throws his Irish-made sombrero into the race.
And they saw this “dueling rallies” narrative as a great way to kick that off.
But since Trump’s rally – in Beto’s own backyard — was vastly larger, the pre-planned narrative didn’t hold up against reality.
So they lied.
And, once again, thousands of social media drones who never believe their lying eyes will lap up the lies of the Beto Fluffers without a moment’s hesitation.
They’ll believe Trump is losing support and whatever Democrat the media fluffers end up choosing is like totally, outrageously, crazy popular!
And by “drones,” we can even include former Governor Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa:
They want voters to believe the media fluffers and not their own lying eyes.
And because the drones are so fully invested in their Trump Derangement Syndrome, they happily play along.
So what happens in 2020 Trump if (or when) wins reelection?
Well, those same drones will be screaming helplessly at the sky in utter confusion and dismay. They’ll believe, once again, that there is no way Trump could have legitimately won because they believed the fluffers in the media instead of their own lying eyes.
This is precisely why the news media is the enemy of the people, you guys.
Not only are they attacking the President 24/7. But their lies also create unreasonable expectations for the anti-Trump crowd that always end up being dashed against the rocks of reality.
They’re not “reporters;” they’re fluffers peddling in propaganda and preying on wishful thinking.
So while their fake news overtly seeks to harm Trump, it inadvertently hurts the anti-Trump crowd as well.
Nobody wins when the news media jettisons honest reporting for media fluffing. Nobody.
But they won’t stop being fake.
The fact is, they can’t stop.
In the end, their lies do far more to disrupt and divide this country than a handful of Russian-paid Facebook posts ever could.
And the closer we get to 2020, the more outlandish and over-the-top this media fluffing is going to get.

I was one of the thousands who attended the Trump Rally last night after waiting outside in miserable weather conditions surrounded by countless others that didn’t seem to care about the windy conditions either. Instead we all shared the excitement of getting to see Mr. Trump.
True, the El Paso Coliseum seats 6,500 but can be modified to accommodate 11,000, as it was last night. A member of the El Paso Police told me attendance would be limited to 11,000 not the 6,500 the press claimed.
I understand somewhere between 65 and 70,000 requests were made for free tickets online. Our local news showed one whiner complaining he was turned away at the door and he had reserved tickets. There were NO reserved tickets, seating and getting in the building was on a first come, first served basis. My on-line ticket stated on it – possession of a ticket was no guarantee you were going to get inside.
I also saw the El Paso Police tell the protestors as we were leaving the Trump Rally to “Disperse Now!!” over bullhorns. No mention of that on the news.
The local news this morning in El Paso was just one collection of lies after another about the Trump Rally. Beta? Nothing but glowing reviews.
Eleven thousand? Jeeze, yet another media lie. Thanks for the on-the-ground report. I appreciate that.
Using the term “fluffer” comes from the porn industry. (If anyone doesn’t know what it means, look it up). I really cracked up reading your commentary.
A more appropriate term cannot not be found to describe these reprobates. You nailed it, Dianny.
Thank you!
If you want a clue as to the level of bile the left has stoked (as if you needed any more) check out ANY story on Yahoo news. Yesterday they were bitching about Trump allegedly telling the El Paso fire marshal to bugger off when told the crowd eceeded the fire occupancy of his rally. Thousands of brainless,soulless progs finding outrage around every corner.
Is this actually happening? After two years, the “Mueller Investigation” finds NO criminal activity related to collusion with Russia in Trump 2016 campaign.
… chirp, chirp, chirp — shocking (not really) non-reaction from Big Media.

I was also there in the El Paso County Coliseum, and the place was packed, people who were standing on floor level had to be 3 to 4 thousand and there was another 6500 in the seating areas. I heard people who went to concerts there said it seated 11,000 and we had to be near that inside. We had friends outside that couldn’t get in but they texted us pictures of them standing outside in the crowd and it looked super packed. We heard some protesting when we left but the Police presence was everywhere and we felt safe even though some protesters were loud and they had signs that said F#$k Trump and the Spanish version also.
