Well, after humble-bragging about how well his books have sold, Wolff laments that &ldquo;most every significant television news outlet &mdash; ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN &mdash; has declined to have [his latest book] discussed on its news shows.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hilariously, Wolff then even whined by outing MSNBC &mdash; a haven of leftist vitriol and nonsense to anyone who pays attention &mdash; as a network that basically solely exists to antagonize Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;MSNBC, a network whose bread and butter is opposition to the president and which had booked me for several shows, including Lawrence O&rsquo;Donnell, a show I regularly do when I publish a book, canceled those appearances as soon as portions of the book began to leak, followed shortly by the White House tirades,&rdquo; Wolff wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the wordy piece from Wolff pretty much follows the same beats: &ldquo;Oh, woe is me, nobody wants to talk about my new book despite all of my extensive and mightily impressive accolades, news organizations must be scared of Trump.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As they should be, Mr. Wolff. As they should be.<\/p>\n<p>The media, particularly during its public love-fest with former President Barack Obama, became a little too full of itself in recent memory. It stopped being about the news, and about idolizing Obama (or whatever the leftist flavor of the month cause is), and when Obama was removed, it became all about skewering Trump.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s long past time that someone like Trump &mdash; say what you will about the man, but he&rsquo;s clearly unafraid of legal quarrels &mdash; starts fighting back with these networks.<\/p>\n<p>And while Wolff may want to pin this on Trump, it goes far beyond the GOP figurehead.<\/p>\n<p>Both MSNBC and CNN have been recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/first-cnn-now-msnbc-liberal-network-rocked-30-million-defamation-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rocked by<\/a> major defamation lawsuits &mdash; neither of which actually involved Trump.<\/p>\n<p>No, both networks were on the litigious hook because they went after everyday Americans who happen to be on the other side of the ideological aisle&hellip; which sort of nukes Wolff&rsquo;s whole point.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, the media climate is different than it was even just four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>But it&rsquo;s got nothing to do with Trump or any sort of dictatorial edicts, like Wolff would have you believe.<\/p>\n<p>No, the chickens are simply coming home to roost for the perpetually dishonest media.<\/p>\n<p>Who can blame them for wanting nothing to do with a slanderous book about Trump?<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
