senseandsensibility's JournalSo when MSNBC takes a break from the Biden bashing
to cover cheato for a few minutes, you would think that a "progressive" channel would be a little critical at least, right? Imean, they have so much to work with. SO MUCH.
But, no they present a puff piece with a fangirl standing outside at the trump rally, and go on and on about his rally. FIRST APPEARANCE in 10 days, and it is so cool that cheato can do it! Then, the exciting VP race! Who will win cheato's approval?
NOT ONE WORD ABOUT project 2025.
I fail to see how FAUX could be worse.
Andrea Mitchell had the nerve
to compare Biden to cheato. She said he's bragging about his crowds last week-end in PA but those are supporters. Bragging about crowds is getting into trump territory.
She did not give one quote or example of Biden bragging about crowds (because he didn't) and she looked absolutely disgusted.
I have tried to defend Andrea a few times her because some of her critics seemed to me to be a little "agist". But now I'm starting to feel what some of you have expressed about her before. I never watched her back in 2016 when she bashed Hillary for her "e-mails" but it was probably like this.
Hispanic Caucus supports Biden!
Just heard on MSNBC. It is somewhat amusing this morning to see the talking heads forced to report positive news/facts for Biden and then immediately return to the Biden bashing.
The press has totally lost it
After yesterday's embarrassment of a press conference, in which the WH press corps revealed itself to be a snarling, angry mob, I was happy to see the WH set the record straight about Biden's health record. Foolishly, (and I am very cynical about the corporate media as most of you know), I thought I would see some acknowledgment this morning that they had overplayed their hand. After all, the whole uproar about Parkinson's that had them hyperventilating yesterday was proven t be unfounded.
But no, they are worse today. Will not give credit to Biden for anything. When Ana Cabrera asked Michael Crowley of the NYT if Biden deserved any credit for the improved NATO alliance, he listed several positive aspects of the alliance during Biden's term, but notably did not, or would not, give him credit. Yet when he went on to point out how dangerous a cheato administration would be for NATO, he mistakenly said the alliance was worried about a BIDEN administration. Surprise, he was not corrected by Cabrera.
Next, a glowing report from Vaughn Hillyard about cheato's "relatively light" schedule the last 10 days. Seriously, that's how they characterized it. DOING NOTHING IS RELATIVELY LIGHT if you're cheato. More gushing about how cheato would have a rally, and cheato would pick his VP. Absolutely nothing even remotely critical.
The corporate media is broken and if what we all fear happens, they will be largely to blame. They have a serious role in this democracy and they are absolutely failing.
Fetterman is in a swing state and he is all in on Joe!
I admire that. H was just on MSNBC defending Joe after Chris Murphy gave a somewhat wishy washy interview. I think he has a great no-nonsense attitude and is not afraid to call BS when he sees it. If only some of his colleagues would take a page from his book.
He also seems to be so much improved at speaking since the early days after his stroke. I'm glad he's doing so well; Joe is going to need him in PA!
Communicating with low information voters is key
but do any Dems know how to do it? Let me share a brief anecdote from my very early teaching days. I was teaching a first grade class during the summer session. We had a Career Day and a pharmacist spoke to the class.
The kids seemed attentive, and I found the talk enjoyable and informative, certainly not overly technical or complicated.
At the end, he asked if there were any questions. First question from a six year old boy: "What's a pharmacist?"
Whoa. The pharmacist was taken aback, and I could see his mental wheels pinning. He backpedaled quickly and said "Well, you know when you are sick and the doctor says you need medicine? Well, I'm the one who makes sure you get the right medicine so you can get better."
The students all understood, and then had better questions, but it would have been so much better if he had started at that level. So, if we're trying to get the votes of low information voters (some of whom think that Biden took away Roe), we need to REALLY break it down.
I guess the press prefers presidents who lie to them in the briefing room
and refuse to release real medical information. One of them brought up the former guy and said that he spoke to them live in the press room. The fact that he lied to their faces over and over isn't important to them.
Cheato had ZERO appearances in the last 10 days
Biden had 18. And Biden is the one wrapped in bubble wrap?
Yes, according to most of the media.
I cannot believe what I just heard from Michelle Goldberg on MSNBC
She is a columnist for the elite NYT, which has NOT called for cheato to withdraw from the race in spite of his 13 felony convictions. She said she does not speak for the NYT and why they haven't, but her reason (paraphrased) enraged me!
The justification for the NYT not calling on the felon to withdraw is there is no evidence that he cares about the country! And Biden does! So, basically, it's useless to call on cheato to resign!
So there ya go, folks. If you run roughshod over the constitution, get convicted of felonies, and try to start an insurrection, AND you don't care about the country, the NYT will go easy on you.
Unbelievable!
Congressional Black Caucus is "largely" behind Biden
Breaking newsI on MSNBC. I have been taking my cues from black Dems lately. I think they're more in touch with the base and I trust their motives.
