When a ginger-haired dude sang a song The Right was moved by, you knew the media attacks were coming. Of course, Rolling Stone would be leading the way with a snarky dismissal of Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond." Whenever too many conservatives like or dislike the same thing, it's the journalisming industry's job to go on the contrarian attack. It's why corporate media is all in on drag queens twerking in front of your children. It's a clap back to conservatives saying, "HEY... this seems inappropriate."

Good news first. Anthony announced he was performing a set at a Farmer's Market in North Carolina. He got an above-average turnout for a guy no one had heard of a week ago.

He even jammed with country legend Jamey Johnson. If you wanted an attaboy from country music fans, there are few better than jamming on "In Color."

As we've seen, when a country singer has a hit with Normie-America about life in Normie-America versus the sh*thole cities run by progressives for decades, those progressives lash out. So far it's been a lot of low-energy trolling like this:

Rolling Stone is the first media content creator to "review" the song. Keep in mind, this is the same rag that trashed "Layla," broke up Cream, and ripped every album Led Zeppelin ever made. Their unmasked disdain for "Rich Men..." dismisses it as "Reagan era" fan fiction for Anthony's accurate take on who the rich men north of Richmond care most about. (shout out Twitchy)

“Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothing to eat/And the obese milking welfare,” he sings. “Well God, if you’re 5 foot 3 and you’re 300 pounds/Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.”

And the most telegraphed attack, Rolling Stone capes for Jeffrey Epstein fans.

The real head-turner though is an apparent allusion to Jeffrey Epstein’s Caribbean island, where the billionaire and convicted sex offender allegedly introduced underage girls to powerful associates.

Phase one is dismissing the song and the fact so many on The Right like the song. Phase two will be the personal attacks on Anthony. He didn't have a Twitter account until last week. The usual plan to find a mean thing he wrote as a Facebook comment ten years ago or a meme he liked won't work.

That means journalismers showing up to his events, asking him a lot of political questions they are counting on him being not savvy enough to answer --- because he is a singer and not a politician -- and posting his selectively edited answers out of context. Then they can all revel in the virtue of their own flatulence because "lol, we got another one!"

It hasn't worked with Jason Aldean. It hasn't worked with Roseanne. It worked in reverse for Bud Light. It won't work on Anthony Oliver either.
