The MSM is likely to get worse if Harris opens up a stable, significant lead once the convention dust settles.

If it seems like a predictable election, there go the eyeballs and clicks. The wealthy right wing media owners will not want that at all.

I will read about what happens, because I don't watch - but you can be sure there will be tons of additional TFG normalization, tons of bothsiderism. It will be angering, and frustrating.

But here's thing - if that happens, it is good news for Harris - because it means she will be putting distance between her and the orange asshole with mr semen cup and worm brain.

1. Eyes on the prize NHL....

they suck and are incompetent and we are very much the opposite. Remember that. We got this.

[NewHendoLib]

3. I completely agree.

[slumcamper]

2. --and I'm confident the campaign has a plan for this.

[lees1975]

4. She has, and we're there.

Ramp it up.

[CincyDem]

5. This may be the election that tips the balance of power between MSM and Social.

Harris/Walz is pervasive on a number of platforms and each platform is playing to a different target audience…from TicTok at the entry level to FB on the boomer end with X, Instagram and even LinkedIn in the middle. They’re using it exceptionally well, including interviews with “influencers”…in effect saying that the usual suspects on MSM aren’t influencers anymore.

They’re getting cranky on MSM but what I’m hearing from my 30-something kids is that she’s hitting on all cylinders and they’re fired up to vote.

[NewHendoLib]

6. Yes indeed!

[DFW]

7. I fear they will be even more complicit in the chaos than in 2016.

I think that only when they see a wave of revenge advertising cancellations in response will they go back to being what they were originally supposed to be: objective observers reporting what they really saw and heard, not reports favorable to Trump and couched in Republicanese.

12. Well said.

[Volaris]

8. At this point, fuck them. She prolly SHOULD sit for a prime time interview..

BUT she should not say anything about it until the tapes wrapped, and if I had MY way, it would be an hour with Keith Olbermann or anyone from PBS.
Because fuck this media, THATS WHY.

[Blue Owl]

9. Time to turn them the fuck off

[NewHendoLib]

14. yes. we did about 15 years ago. I only know what they say by reading here.

[Blue Owl]

15. Same here

I wish more would do the same

[NewHendoLib]

16. That is fervent wish of mine - tons of people turn it all off.

[Silent Type]

10. Appears to me that the MSM I watch is riding the Blue wave right now. I think they can make that

a big story without trying to help trump. It’ll be a tight enough race anyway.

[Tribetime]

11. Answer all questions at debate..F.O. Media

[BannonsLiver]

13. If his campaign collapses like McCain's did in the stretch run of '08 it'll be hard to pump up the horserace.

And no I’m not saying Harris is pulling Obama 2008 electoral college numbers but I think that between the 2 candidates she’s far more likely to win the EC decisively than Trump is. There’s basically no chance Trump wins decisively at this point

[ColinC]

17. The msm is like a fungus

It gravitates towards nourishment -or in this case the more sensational candidate, which frankly happens to be Kamala.

Mindless zombies might also be a reasonable metaphor…

[mopinko]

18. she has a lot of money to spend. that will entice them.

when she starts dropping millions on ads on their network, they might just get on the bus.
cuz that’s how media works.
plus, everyone loves a winner. they’ll have a lot of incentive to get on the bandwagon.
we shall see.
