(21,506 posts)If all the major news organizations are pushing false narratives. This seems to be a glaring example of a forgone conclusion being presented based on absolutely nothing.
When the only thing you can point to is the TV talking heads saying something as evidence of something being true and can point to many other things that seem to contradict that conclusion there is every reason for flags to go up.
It would be very easy to come to the conclusion that the media is trying to manipulate people in such a scenario. Maybe not, but knowing how the media works to manipulate the public on a daily basis if find the idea they are playing this one straight a bit difficult to swallow.
If you think manipulating elections doesn't matter because they are working for your candidate that is a problem as well.
Personally I couldn't care less who won the debate I will take pretty much anyone that was on that stage over the clowns running for the republicans. I do have a big problem with "news" organizations pushing an agenda. It is one of the reasons I got rid of the TV years ago.
