‘Beauty’ of Trump’s warmongering exposes ugliness of liberal media
Yonden Lhatoo is sickened by the sudden outpouring of support among liberal journalists for Donald Trump after he bombed Syria in a policy U-turn
“We see these beautiful pictures at night from the decks of these two US Navy vessels in the eastern Mediterranean,” Williams gushed. “I am tempted to quote the great Leonard Cohen: ‘I am guided by the beauty of our weapons’.”
Watch: Brian Williams is ‘guided by the beauty of our weapons’ in Syria strikes
Williams was awestruck by footage of the Tomahawk missiles – 59 in total – that Trump’s forces fired at an airfield base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack that the West is blaming on the Syrian government.
All of a sudden Trump is a man whose ‘heart comes first’, and he can now lay claim to the title of ‘leader of the free world’
Williams is not the only American journalist getting off on war porn. There’s been a quantum shift in mainstream media reporting on Trump, now that he’s been turned around by the neocons or whatever forces are responsible for ensuring that the US does what it has always done.
From dismissing him daily as a racist, misogynist, narcissist and proto-fascist beyond salvation, the liberal media now cannot find enough platitudes to bestow upon him. All of a sudden Trump is a man whose “heart comes first”, and he can now lay claim to the title of “leader of the free world”.
