We all know that we are being gaslit and bullied by the media but

one thing I've noticed recently is that they are already trying to cover their tracks as important participants in this power grab. Many talkingheads have gone out of their way to claim that it is not just Dem elites that are whispering to them about losing faith in Biden. They claim they're hearing it from the grassroots. Details are nonexistent of course.

Does anyone believe them? I don't. But they don't want to be blamed if the worst happens. Sniveling cowards.

2. Taking a few whispers and reporting it as breaking news, really disgusting

I long for the days when the news people reported what has happened or what is happening. They didn’t concern themselves with what they think will happen.

5. I know, I get pissed off every time they repeat something Trump said. They know it's worthless and usually mendacious.

6. But it's true that he said it, so they can blare idiocy like "masks bad during pandemic"

And say gosh, we're just reporting what he said, that's newsworthy! Don't blame us if people die!

Did not watch any of the RNC but did watch clip from Meidas Touch on you tube with Hulk Hogan's address.

NBC said Hulk Hogan gave a great speech. Are you shitting me? The clip showed the Hulk ripping off his shirt and acting like a lunatic. NBC has lost it?

The clip also showed audio of Hulk talking to Trump using the N word repeatedly. This is what the Republican Party has become? ???
