-Watertown
Good evening from the crossroads of the Great Lakes and common sense: Watertown, New York.
As the major networks eat each other alive in a media meltdown worthy of Greek tragedy—MSNBC slandering CNN, CNN firing back like a drunken cousin at a family reunion—what we’re really witnessing is the collapse of the Democratic media machine. A civil war of soundbites and sanctimony, where the only victors are the American people, finally vindicated in their skepticism.
But this isn’t just a Beltway brawl or a Manhattan echo chamber cage match. It echoes loudly right here at home.
Let’s talk about Watertown. A city that, in 2024, was almost perfectly split down the middle. Roughly half of our residents voted for Kamala Harris, the others stood firm with Donald J. Trump. Fair enough. That’s democracy. That’s a republic. That’s balance.
But take a closer look at your own city council.
Seven out of eight council members publicly supported Kamala Harris.
Let that sink in.
How can a city so evenly divided politically be represented by a council that leans almost entirely one direction? This isn’t representation—it’s insulation. A bubble. A local political class that reads from the same MSNBC-CNN groupthink script now unraveling on live TV.
While Lawrence O’Donnell melts down on air and the Democrat establishment turns cannibal, here in Watertown the disconnect is just as glaring—though less theatrical, more structural. We’ve got councilmembers who campaign on “unity” while ignoring half the electorate. And if you dare raise a red flag? You’re labeled extreme, fringe, or some kind of crank.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about party. It’s about parity. It’s about a local government that mirrors its people, not its media donors. It’s about making sure that council chambers don’t sound like MSNBC at 9 p.m. or CNN’s green room during a panic attack.
What we’re seeing nationally is a left-wing media implosion—a confession, not just of incompetence, but of fraud. And Watertown should be paying attention. Because the same script that failed at the national level is still being acted out right here. Same play. Smaller stage.
The people of Watertown are smart. They voted for a divided house—on purpose. They wanted checks and balances, not a rubber stamp for MSNBC-style policymaking.
So maybe it’s time the council started watching what’s happening in the news. Not to copy it, but to learn from it.
Because if the national media circus is any sign, the public’s patience is running out. And when it does, the next civil war won’t be televised—it’ll be on the ballot.
Stay sharp, Watertown. And for the love of liberty, change the channel.
