1. Her campaign isn't going anywhere

She would be better off quitting now before she completely discredits herself.

[tiredtoo]

8. Her dropping out would result in

A boost for Bernie. Is that what you want?

[customerserviceguy]

26. I'd guess

that a fair sized proportion of her support would go to Amy Klobuchar.

10. Nice post...This was last night

13. Great. Will that get her to 3rd or 4th?

[BeyondGeography]

15. Now you're completely discrediting yourself

[Renew Deal]

16. Which state other than Massachusetts will she finish 2nd or higher?

[BeyondGeography]

19. She's going to campaign through Super Tuesday at least and there is zero shame in that

Sorry, but only a)a hater or b)someone who doesn’t see any value in her overall message would call that “discrediting herself.”

[Renew Deal]

21. Conspiracies about the media is how she discredits herself.

And I get that she needs to blame someone other than herself, her campaign, and her message. It makes sense if she's going to try to keep it afloat. But if we can't name 1 state where she is going to win, she's not going to win.

33. If your gonna smear everyone but Bernie, just say so.

[Renew Deal]

34. lol

Where is the smear? And lets not get started with Sanders.

[LakeArenal]

2. Not a Warren fan. But I agree with her on this.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. She's not wrong.

[BusyBeingBest]

4. They have a tendency to write her off, anymore.

They don't know what sort of narrative to build, so they ignore her.

[turbinetree]

5. Warren is correct...................the media has and is trying to erase her message

time to donate to act blue again............

[LanternWaste]

6. Less blaming press, and more a simple shift in messaging operations.

Nuance and degrees of difference can be hard, but concentration and just a little bit of discipline can greatly assist... unless of course you do actually realize the relevant difference, and are simply misrepresenting her for your own device.

7. brooklynite trying the "spin the press release" angle

[BeyondGeography]

12. Not even..It's one line in a fundraising email

Warren offended the OP a long time ago by trashing his cherished insider world and big-ticket fundraisers.

[denem]

17. 'having lunch with Kirsten Gillibrand today'

you could be right

[brooklynite]

23. Huh?

I've been a regular contributor to Warren's Senate campaigns (fun fact: big dollar fundraisers!), and I've acknowledged the strength of her ground operations. I've also commented that there's no value in trying to sway opinion here, since it has no impact on the real world, so I have no incentive to "depress" Warren supporters. I report things about the Primary, regardless of the candidate and regardless of whether they're positive or negative.

25. You're a mostly honest broker, not on this one

You’re overhyping one line in a fundraising email. If she were pushing this as a main talking point on the stump you might have something. She’s not.

[brooklynite]

28. I'm reporting what Shane Goldmacher, a respected reporter for the NYT pulled out.

[democratisphere]

9. I like SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN a lot!

THAT is all.

[tritsofme]

11. Isn't this a staple of any failing campaign?

Not very surprising.

[Kurt V.]

14. Its not like there isn't precedent to back her up.

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Can't have a progressive liberal with integrity in office, can one?

Might upset the apple cart, pecking order and tax rates for the monied class, yes?

[Devil Child]

20. Sen. Warren is correct, the press is no friend or ally n/t

[brooklynite]

22. Nor should we want them to be...

[Fiendish Thingy]

24. She came in third in Iowa, and is 3rd in delegates, yet the media narrative focuses on Amy

Except in those cases where she appears in person on a network, Warren has been erased from the media narrative of contenders- even Biden is getting more discussion, albeit much of it negative, with SC being his last hope.

If Warren can make it through March, she may find herself in a three person race, and may become the most palatable option for those who don’t want Bernie or Bloomberg.

[kabelle]

27. there's a Sanders vs Warren double standard

She must know how she will pay for her plans but he doesn't.

[pistdem]

29. Elizabeth is right.

Bernie seems to complain the most about the media, but to me, they seem to be coddling him. I keep hoping they start vetting him before he wins the nomination and Trump vets him. I won't hold my breath, though.

[squirecam]

36. Warren could vet him too

Don’t blame the media or ask them to do it, if the candidate remains silent.

She will have no problem vetting Bloomberg from what I see.

30. The bar chart below shows the number of mentions of each candidate on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News

The bar chart below shows the number of mentions of each candidate on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from Jan. 1, 2019 through Aug 22, 2019.




Online mentions of the candidates over the same time period reflect a slightly more balanced picture. Using data from the GDELT Project, major worldwide online news coverage in 65 languages was monitored for mentions of the candidates’ full names.

32. Very informative post. Thank you. n/t

31. That's mild, in the grand scheme of things.

She needs money to keep her campaign going, so she's asking for it. She's reminding her supporters that she's not expecting any "free" press.

I give her a pass on this one.

[msongs]

35. uh oh she is stepping on bernie's turf nt

[wellst0nev0ter]

37. "But how will she pay for it?" "Taxes on middle class!"

Unlike many people here, I have a long memory of the media dogpile just months ago.
