2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary should hold more press conferences. [View all]still_one
(92,187 posts)jury ruling on this OP, and I voted that it did NOT violate the TOS, so your "mildest criticism" comment, is all wet, at least in regards to me, and in regard to my comment, my response was NOT a "rabid" response to your OP. Nice hyperbole though
I would also suspect there were others like me who were Hillary supporters in the primary on that jury, that also ruled it did not violate the TOS
On the first comment, you missed my entire point. The media has set up the false narrative, and whatever this medium spews out, whether false or not, much of the public regurgitates the same garbage
Polls are a reflections of the distortions of the media feeding the populace this garbage
I gave several examples, including the Kerry Swift Boating, and the President Obama is Muslim narrative.
90% of talk radio is right wing propaganda that gets spewed 24/7 throughout the airwaves, and the dirty little secret is that it does influence the public
It is a self-fulfilled prophecy. You spew a talking point out enough, and the public will willingly accept it.
This is not the first time in history where the media has been a partner in misinformation, the Joe McCarthy period was notorious for it.
It wasn't that long ago when the illustrious media was throwing out the, "Hillary is shrill memo" with one hand, and taking the "likability" polls with the other hand
It is the old loaded question, "When did you stop beating your wife"
Only because I am giving you a view that you disagree with regarding the false talking point that "Hillary isn't trust worthy", somehow my response is a rabid response?
It was nothing of the sort. Maybe you should focus on what I wrote, as you are telling people to focus on what was said in the OP. Touche'
and by the way, my comment did address your OP with the following:
"Of course a portion of her time should be done through press conferences, but going out on the trail, and meeting personally with the people is much more important in order to get her known."
