Is the media deliberately suppressing Biden achievements and emphasizing "Doom and Gloom"?

All day Tuesday, I had to avoid the temptation to click on news sites just to see if anyone had any predictions, news, or insights as to how key elections were going in the states that got a lot of publicity. American politics is quite predictable, and in spite of polling data that is not very consistent, and reflects an "all over the place" kind of feeling, at least until election day, and accountability, draws close. After the weekend news about the poll results that came out, I was anxious about what might transpire in the elections that Democrats were pointing to as indicators of where things are headed in 2024, and not wanting to engage with Republicans who would be gloating over wins.

But whatever anxiety I might have had, it was relieved very quickly by Tuesday's election results.

Long before bedtime, it became apparent that the news about the weekend polls would be covered up and largely discredited by some whopping Democratic party election wins. Pollsters, and the news media, had cast a shadow of doubt over this off-year election, at least as far as Democrats are concerned, and made an effort to associate what they are claiming is the Biden Administration's unpopularity with potential Republican victories in key elections. In spite of their attempts, nothing resembling the gloom and doom they tried to spread over the weekend showed up in those election results. In Kentucky and Ohio, red states in the last several elections, Democrats won big. I was concerned, again mainly from news reporting, that Virginia might not deliver. And I wasn't expecting much from Mississippi, where we got better news than one might think in a Democratic candidate's loss. But by the time Lawrence O'Donnell came on at 9, Virginia was in the bag and Mississippi, well it's Mississippi, but it turned out much better for Democrats than it has in a long time, proving that there's potential, even there.

So this gloom and doom reporting, harping about Biden's age, coming up with unbelievable polling data and then promoting that while ignoring anything that doesn't fit that narrative (including ignoring a marketing poll in Arizona that has Biden with a ten point lead there) looks like a deliberate attempt to undermine his candidacy.

1. Yes.

2. It isn't that hard to figure out.

The MSM is owned and managed by right wing oligarchs, including MSNBC.

Some of the major shareholders are BlackRock and Vanguard.

3. Yes, and in addition to Pres Biden the nasty media was

claiming Fetterman as good as over, and now he's doing great. Recently saw him on late night, articulate, sharp and funny.

4. Yes! It is so obvious they are at a minimum ginning up for a horse race

in November

5. In a word,

YES!

6. The owners of MSM really don't want to pay any taxes.

7. They are definitely suppressing TFG's threats to mobilize US troops against American people on Day One

and his threats to suspend our Constitution.

How is this not the biggest story in America today?

Trump's lunacy has become so "mainstreamed" that they don't even bother to cover it anymore. We saw the same phenomena with GW Bush's gaffes.

Democrats do not get this courtesy.
