I oftentimes look with wonder at the legacy media nowadays, and one of the top questions I ask is, "Who is this for?"
When you watch the legacy media, or really, any outlet that could be formerly labeled as "mainstream," I often feel like I'm watching a contained universe discussing itself. Like some sort of alternate reality we're getting to peer into... or maybe even the mind of a person gone mad, like some sort of Lovecraftian window into a cosmic alteration of reality.
After the purchase of X by Elon Musk, the real world began surging past the information gatekeepers and legacy media lenses, giving us a pretty good look at the actual state of things and the people's opinions toward it. The truth began destroying one narrative after another, and the legacy media was left standing red-handed with their lies exposed.
But the weird thing is that even after it was made clear to everyone that they were lying, they kept lying, and they kept lying like we couldn't see they were lying to us, even though we were telling them we could see them lying.
Honestly, their commitment to the bit is so impressive that improv groups could take notes.
But I don't think anything has quite broken the left's narrative back quite like Charlie Kirk's assassination. It flies in the face of everything they've painted themselves as, and shows that they are not the good guys in the room. Their rhetoric, constant accusations, hysterics, and extremist talk paved the way for political disagreement to be answered with murder, to cheers and applause from too many on the left.
You would think that at this point the left would take stock of their positions, how they've created an ugly culture for themselves, and really do some introspection.
Nope.
They're doing everything in their power to keep their own opinion of themselves as high as possible, and doing so by giving you a version of reality that we can all see is a false one.
For instance, here's MSNBC’s Brandy Zadrozny, who is saying that there is no celebration of Charlie's death coming from the left.

Unbelievable. There are tens of thousands of examples.

Girl, what?
Right now, I can get on X and find at least five examples highlighted by accounts like Libs of TikTok after just 60 seconds of scrolling. People are losing their jobs because of their open celebration of Charlie's murder and the request that more murders happen. These people aren't just minimum wage folks either; they're people like nurses, doctors, city officials, and more.
We can see it for ourselves, but Zadronzny is laying down some sort of fan fiction about her own ideological ilk, as if they're pure as the driven snow even while they're cheering on the murder of innocents.
I ask again, who is this for?
Let me give you another example. On CNN, Montel Williams was trying to pass off the idea that Tyler Robinson's shooting of Charlie wasn't politically motivated, but was, in fact, motivated by love for his boyfriend, who identified as transgender. As usual, Scott Jennings was all of us in his reply.

JENNINGS: "Guys. GUYS. The evidence here is overwhelming.”

Who is this for?
As far as I can see it, the answer is "themselves." They're not actually trying to convince anyone outside the bubble; they're just trying to maintain said bubble. They know they've lost the narrative struggle, but they can't let go of the idea that they are the good guys in the room.
They've been telling themselves this for decades, and bought their own lie about how evil everyone is, and how they're the only thing standing in the way of a dark future filled with KKK members roaming the streets and goose-stepping Republicans throwing gay people into electroshock therapy rooms.
These are the same people standing outside ICE facilities and singing songs, as if they're fighting for the civil rights of the oppressed, even though these are criminals with heinous crimes on their rap sheets. These are the same people who dress up like Handmaid's Tale characters and parade around various locations because they can't murder innocent children in the womb. These are the same people who shed tears over a man who held a pregnant woman at gunpoint and died due to an overdose while they burn cities in his name.
The bubble must be maintained at all costs because their fragile egos demand it. They cannot look in the mirror to see the truth of what they are because doing so would be too painful.
But the bubble is going to pop. What they're doing isn't sustainable. Eventually, the truth catches up, not just to the public, but to the individual.
I think we're going to see a lot of breaking points reached soon, and I'm interested to see what that looks like.
