If Trump does outperform the polls, it should be a wake up call for the media

Its painfully obvious how out of touch democrats and the media are.

-In an effort to connect with young male voters, uber-dork Tim Walz plays Madden with fricking AOC of all people... someone very polarizing who only helps them with people who were already voting for them anyway.

-His little hunting trip to appeal to the "man's man", but he was loading his shotgun like a virgin trying to find the right hole in a dark bedroom on prom night.

-The PAINFULLY bad commercials to men about how "REAL MEN" support women's right to kill their children

-The media and dems assuming there is this epidemic of women who are scared to secretly vote for democrats because of their evil conservative husbands

The Daily had an episode last week where they talked to voters in a more rural Pennsylvania town that had more and more liberals moving to the area. The republicans they talked to mostly commented on how the town was changing and how you didn't know everyone like you used to, and one of them remarked that someone was rude to them about their MAGA hat at the fair, and how that had never happened before. On the Dem side you had people that were new residents that basically fled their old towns due to too many Trump supporters living there, and that they were surprised and unhappy about still being even around "those people". To me thats a peak into the contempt democrats have for us.

Half the media should be in prison for treason.

Just my personal opinion on the matter.

They have taken the Joseph Goerbbels playbook to the next level. I am sure hes proud.

Why do you think so many major media institutions did not endorse the DEM ticket?

This wakeup call already happened...in July.

Honestly I think some of them were really salty for not being given interviews and info from the Biden admin. I know the NYT was really salty toward them for a long time, but they turned around hard for Harris. Especially lately.

F' em...I hope they don't wake up and just continuously bleed out into non-existence.

I don't think they all realize it. You have a lot of them who grew up in a bubble, work in a bubble, and live in a bubble. They just legitimately do not get it, and its not necessarily sinister. Just out of touch.

There are sinister elements, absolutely. Just don't think thats a universally true thing.

Pick one of the dozens of ridiculous media narratives from the past ten years: Hillary's going to win in a landslide, Russia Russia Russia, Trump's tax returns, impeachments, Covid, whatever. The press has shown zero capacity for introspection. You assume they'll act like intellectually honest professionals. They aren't, they're propagandists, 100% now.

Nope

That group of Academia, Media, and Beltway Elites live in their own version of the Truman Show.

It won't be. They'll just blame misinformed voters and Elon Musk while doubling down on their self importance as the protectors of democracy and informational gatekeepers

Sweet summer child.

When Dems lose it’s never about their politics or policies. It’s always:

The candidate was bad and didn’t get their message across
The media didn’t do a good enough job of telling us just how bad the R was
People are too stupid to vote for what’s in their best interest

I think its that way for the GOP too a lot of the time. But the difference is the right wing media calls that out and the left wing media doesn't, so the idea gets reinforced on the left

Welcome to 2016.

The machine has no interest in getting a wake up call. Nor do they want the people getting one either.

Not so, they already know the polls are BS, they have used them for years to SHAPE OPINION, they know the power of persuasion, the Media use these polls to 1.) Buoy the Libs/Dems by making them think they are going to win if they just show up and vote, they 2.) then use the same polls to DEPRESS the Conservatives/Republicans with these polls and talking points. But since Trump came on the scene and the Net-Online info came into existence, their propaganda no longer works.

People who live in rural places just say to hell with it, my vote doesn't matter, and they stay home. They use the same polls to get Bills passed by cucking Republican Lawmakers.

If Trump wins big, it will be a massive hit to our legacy media which colluded to help Democrats carry the White House.


I think you'll see much more distrust, and a shuffling of media.
