B-Man Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 The Powerful Media Pretend They Are Powerless Tim Graham | Apr 07, 2023 It's unintentionally laughable when cable news hosts like Rachel Maddow break in to announce that MSNBC will not be airing any of Donald Trump's post-arraignment speech live because "there's a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things." These pompous announcements aren't simply about what's true and what's false. They are about how the media elites run our democracy by telling us what happenings we're all supposed to be talking about and what should be shamed out of existence. Or take, for example, how Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler spit nails that conservatives are talking about George Soros throwing a million dollars at a leftist PAC right after it pledged a million dollars to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the man now prosecuting Trump. Kessler proclaimed, "The intense focus on Soros is misplaced." To connect factual dots between Soros and Bragg is "incendiary." He's the Focus Checker instead of the Fact Checker. We're in the earliest days of the 2024 presidential election cycle, and the Democrats and their media allies appear to be attempting to create a rerun of 2016. Devote all your journalistic resources and live coverage to the monstrosity that is Trump. Count on Republicans to jerk their knees and rally around Trump's flag in the desperate hope Republicans lose again, as they have in 2018, 2020, and 2022. There was a moment in the all-night cable news hootenanny after Trump's court appearance where the pundit collective on CNN was fake-lamenting that Trump is dominating the "news" scene. {snip} One of the most annoying things about how the media run our democracy -- and especially our presidential campaigns -- is that these "experts" will tell us who they deem is plausible and who is not plausible long before anyone goes to a poll and votes. They'll take a national poll and then ignore anyone who's not in double digits. Pardon the audience if none of us buy the idea that the media would like the Republican primaries to be more competitive because that's not what the evidence of media output shows. We've counted 658 minutes just on ABC, CBS, and NBC from the day Trump told everyone he was going to be arrested. Then these people lament that no one else can "breakthrough." https://townhall.com/columnists/brentbozellandtimgraham/2023/04/07/the-powerful-media-pretend-they-are-powerless-n2621672 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the response: “RFK Jr. announced a presidential campaign built on protecting America from future ruinous shutdowns and reaffirming Americans’ faith in science, which was damaged by government lies and censorship of top scientists during COVID” - fixed it for you. I can't believe that I have lived long enough where Bobby Kennedy Jr. is outside the Left wing of the Democrat Party. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
