The Debate last night and one question which keeps coming back to me. [View all]

Last evening, the maga moderator Margaret asked Tim Walz why 51% of the American people believe Trump is better for the economy than Harris. Tim gave a good overall answer about how the economy always does better under Dems, but I was seething at this point. What a false question. A better answer imo may have been:

The reason the American people believe by 51% that the economy would do better under the dUmpster is that you Margaret, and your fellow journalists have failed to do your job. That skewed figure is the direct result of the failings of the 4th estate. You allow lies and falsehoods to be peddled as truth and simply say it is not your job to provide any analysis. That is false. You and Norah both sat there and allowed JD to gaslight the American people and say you are fact checking while you were not. No corrections on your part. That small example during the debate is but one small example of your reprehensible behavior which allows a threat to our way of life to be an actual consideration for the highest office in the land.
