what the news media is getting wrong

[Nikki28]

Why does the news media concentrate only stupid nonsense about "Did the president use the N word or racial slurs? It is useless to keep wasting time on a question or discussion we already know.

Another thing is not talking about and pounding the Cov19 crises and Russia and the real reason the republicans are in this swamp,which is Russia helping them when they steal another election and could keep them in power.

Another thing they do is let him manipulate them into the rose garden for a campaign garbage rally and they squat there and take his abuse and not ask the hard questions- they should at best not show up and stop letting him con them to this garbage rally and last but not least comes in the form of..

Stop showing all the ridiculous sound bites and his foolishness of showing his every outrage sound bite every second .Rachel is the only one who does not do this unless it is so bad,-she has no choice.She does not spend her entire show on every sound bite because there are more important cow duc he is doing and not what he is saying.They are normalizing this fool and he is eating it up. It is going to be on them if he gets re elected.


On another front, I am a strong believer that Russia is already messing with the votes and it explains why Trump does not want mail in ballets and why he has his flunkies in the post office doing the dirty work.I also believe they know Russia is doing this coup and will not mess up their chance to stay in office and finally turn this country into another dictatorship ,which explains why they are all in on it.It explains their about face on this clown and why they did not kick him out when they had a chance and let him do as he pleases.We are loosing the battle and it may look like we are winning-but I do not see it. They are all too abrasion with their actions. It makes sense that they are also working for Putin because they could not give up the chance to ever feel defeated like they did when Obama wiped the floor with them in 08 and to never let a black man or dem take office again. I also think it burned their physic that a black man could win their white house. They are letting Trump crime all over the place because they know the fix is in. If anyone can explain a good reason why they are letting him destroy this country-I am all open because nothing else makes sense especially considering all they took Obama through.

Lastly Dems need to be more AOC like when it comes to these criminals. I saw one mayor on Cummo who was timid and Cuomo told him he should be mad as hell. It is like this for all the Dems except the the army vet who lost her legs (cant think of her name)and Ted Lu,and Nancy and Chuck.We need someone who can be as evil as Gates,Nunez and Jordan's.I feel somethings I should just be independent or have no part in these races because most of the dems are taking the Michelle Obama-"When they go low we go high" when that has only backfired on us. It is time for even Joe to come out swinging stronger and use swear words if he has to to get in their face like Lincoln Project people does.I am just thinking out loud and throwing my frustration out there and don't pay me no mind. Now I saw the beginning of Morning Joe and Mica is showing clips of him again. So I am ready for someone with the guts like Joe to come back from his vacation and put some fight into this show,which has been boring as hell with Willy and Mica. I do not have much faith in the Democrats message and tough as well as the media for flocking at his every whelm.JMHO.

2. The news talkers are being played as usual.

They should have all gotten up and walked away from the rose garden theater. But they don't because they are trumps weaklings. Just once I would like to see a reporter throw his or her hands in the air and walk out on these puke freaks. They don't even get that the helicopter noise says fuck you to them everyday. He could have the chopper start after he gets in it but that would be respectful.

3. I take it from your post

That you believe the media is there to provide news based upon journalistic standards (whatever those might be or you consider them to be). I would offer that this is a misplaced desire. The job of the media (particularly cable noise infotainment) is to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.

I would also offer that The “Esteemed” Mr Trump is a master at playing the media like a fiddle and has been for years. He knows what will get on the air and even if it is unflattering, it still drowns out all the other things that might be worthwhile reporting.

Don’t expect to get information from sources like CNN, MSNBC when there is spectacle to be had and then 24 hours of talking heads ( between endless commercials) discussing the last spectacle that The “Esteemed” Mr Trump has provided.

5. What you said is true

but what the poster said is also true. The biggest lie out there is that the MSM is liberal, it is owned by the right.

You may be right in ignoring the MSM but millions of Americans do not ignore it, millions use the MSM to make their decisions on all issues, even non political. The power of the MSM should not be overlooked, it helped elect Trump in 2016 and within the past month I have seen a shift that it is doing it again, especially MSNBC. I thought that Toad was going to be fired, he gets more air time now than ever. I agree with the thread, it was a waste of time proving that Trump is a racist for the hundredth time.

It's not about making money with the MSM in leading up to the election, that is secondary. If making money was their primary goal they would be exposing the deaths, the incompetent Trump response to the virus, day after day. They would be showing families who lost loved ones because showing all of that isn't even political, it's about life and death. I don't think the Russia bounty gate lasted a week, if Obama had been president we would still be talking about it, but Trump gets a pass and it isn't because of the MSM making money, it would make money if it kept covering it. Defund the police gets more coverage than Putin paying to kill Americans and that certainly isn't about money, it's about ideology, the MSM is right wing.

6. I disagree with your point on making money

They are a business and their only goal is to make money. The fewer that watch their infotainment channels the better.

I do agree with your assessment that they are going to try to keep the presidential horse race narrative forefront and make it as close as possible. That keeps eyeballs on their screen and helps maintain ad revenue.

The best answer is to tune them out and get your information from a variety of sources curating your own news.
