"Today: Trump and Johnson speak amid GOP dysfunction". Chyron on CNN now as the meeting between Mikey and cheato looms.
I think it's an improvement. They are not using the "election integrity" RW framing for the meeting. And I detect a little bit of skepticism about Mike Johnson FINALLY after months of presenting him as a well meaning pawn of MTG, etc. who really just wants what's best for the country. They are actually covering his role in election denialism.
Oh well, it will probably be different tomorrow but refreshing nonetheless.
A Reuters poll taken April 4 shows Biden ahead 41% to 37%, which is
a 9 point swing in Biden's favor. Now if it was taken April 4, what important event has taken place since then that might increase Biden's lead even more?
I'm sure you guessed immediately that it should be the AZ decision.
But MSNBC doesn't think so. After announcing this 9 point move in Biden's favor very off handedly, they immediately followed with: and this doesn't take into account how trump's court case will affect these numbers. They then went on to spin the court case as very likely good for him.
So, there you go. It's obvious Biden is gaining, but the corporate media is still going to dish out the BFB (bad for Biden) narrative until their last gasp.
Dear NYT et al: NOW do you see why your coverage of cheato's BS is wrong?
I assume the answer is no, just to get that out of the way. As brilliantly set out by Rachel last night, every mainstream newspaper reported the freak's big announcement on abortion credulously yesterday. They presented it as a moderate, reasonable position.
They did NOT highlight that he has flipped his position at least 13 times so you can't trust anything he says. They did NOT highlight that he lied that Democrats execute babies after birth, a Nazi trope.
And they ESPECIALLY did not highlight that even this new position means that he supports total abortion bans in any state that deems it so.
So now that AZ has completely banned abortion, do you get it? I'll spell it out since I know they don't: cheato supports total abortion bans and the rightwing judges he appoints will help him achieve it.
I know that takes a little more journalistic effort than transcribing only what his campaign wants you to highlight, but it's your job.
Good question: Is any journalist going to ask cheato why he lied about Ruby Garcia
last week? Or no?
For those who don't know, Ruby Garcia was a murder victim who cheato used to stir up his crime narrative at a rally last week, claiming to have talked to her family and quoting them. The family later said he never talked to them.
So this is how it's gonna be. He will lie about EVERYTHING until the election and no journalist will call him on it. I mean ask HIM to respond and keep asking until he answers.
C'mon journalists....pick one lie and keep hammering if you are overwhelmed. But do something.
Have you wondered why judges/courts seem to be struggling to deal with threats?
Andrew Weissman just gave a very plausible explanation on MSNBC. He said when he was prosecuting the mob they never worried about violent threats. Why? It wasn't because the mob was so moral. They just knew that there was no point. Another judge/lawyer would just replace them and the risk was too great.
The system has never seen anything like this, and cheato is exploiting it to the max. It's going to take a lot of courage and innovation to overcome this problem.
You know what doesn't help? The corporate media shrugging and normalizing these threats. They are ANYTHING but normal, even with the mob.
I see that the culprit who rammed into the FBI gates has been identified
and to no one's surprise, he is a trumper and a Q Anon weirdo according to the stories I can find. But I wonder why his mugshot or any photo is not available 2 days after he was identified?
So Erin Burnett is pumping up RFK again
This after yesterday and her platform for him with a live interview and his claim that Biden is the one who the worse danger to democracy. She is now highlighting cheato's ridiculous claim that if Biden wins it will be our last election.
SHE IS NOT PUSHING BACK AT ALL. It's one of the most disgusting things I've seen. Guess who she's interviewing? Someone who was considered as a running mate by RFK. He is wishy washy as best.
This is normalization at its worst. It is setting the "narrative" that both Biden and cheato are a danger to democracy. It is horrible.
I mean, one side says cheato is an insurrectionist and an authoritarian, the other side says it's Biden. Who can tell, really?
Well, RFK is on CNN live right now with Erin Burnett and
they just showed a poll with cheato and Biden tied with 33% each and RFK at 26% n AZ. Hoo boy. 
Since RFK seems to be pulling equally from Biden and cheato, cheat is now slamming him.
It's Cesar Chavez Day!
DEI, baby! Oh, and thank you to all the farm workers who keep this country fed. Thanks to the Hispanic workers who built my house and put a new roof on it last year and new bathroom floors in a couple of months ago. It's hard work and they deserve more.
Oh, and Caesar Chavez's family is suing to keep RFK from using his image.
