\u201cWhat flummoxes me is not the incident itself, but the complete denial by the left-wing media that it ever happened \u2013 even as they are playing video demonstrating that it actually did!\u201d marvels Danielle in today\u2019s conversation with Robert. <\/p>\n

Only by denying the direct evidence of one\u2019s senses can it be argued that CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta \u201cdid not touch\u201d the intern working at the White House media conference on November 7.<\/strong> Yet shamelessly, that\u2019s exactly what the media on the Left chose to do. CNN reported the incident by not including the relevant incident in its visual account, while verbally reporting that it never happened.<\/p>\n

The \u2018touching\u2019 incident was the last in a string of incidents eventually resulting in the White House revoking Acosta\u2019s press pass. Amazingly, a subsequent court decision (by a Trump-appointed judge citing \u2018press freedom\u2019 issues) ruled that Acosta\u2019s White House pass must be reinstated! (Since no one is preventing Acosta from writing or broadcasting whatever he wishes, the court\u2019s rationalization merely provides more evidence of non sequitur Leftist thinking in this affair.)<\/p>\n

But the real accosting of the American mind has taken the form of Leftist media denials<\/strong> so blatant that Danielle continues to marvel at how \u201cI honestly have so many words of bafflement that I can\u2019t channel them all coherently.\u201d The media is committing suicide by actively \u201cdestroying its own credibility,\u201d adds Robert.<\/p>\n

In attempting to explain how such glaring evasions of reality can go unheeded by the Left (and too often not taken seriously by the Right), one must understand the fundamental metaphysical principles on which the Left and Right are founded.<\/p>\n

At the root of the Left<\/strong>\u2019s reality dysfunction is the fact that the Left metaphysically rejects the \u2018primacy of existence\u2019 and operates on the \u2018primacy of consciousness,\u2019<\/strong> i.e., \u201cReality is determined by what I believe it to be.\u201d In contrast, the Right<\/strong> way of thinking is metaphysically based on the primacy of existence,<\/strong> i.e., \u201cReality is determined by what actually exists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite our recognition of these polarized views about reality, we remain nevertheless shocked when confronted by such a literal and open example of the Left\u2019s metaphysically flawed thinking demonstrated. After all, when it comes to citing an ideal example of the \u2018primacy of consciousness\u2019 in action, Acosta\u2019s accosting of the American mind is Just Right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
