Dear Lord, let Newt be right. This feels so much like 1980. Only difference s that Carter had fewer crooks around him.
I worked on the Reagan campaign in ‘80. Same vibe: the liberal media is missing the dynamic shift: Republicans are MUCH more motivated, Democrat intensity is depressed, and independents dislike the incumbent. The other side hopes for a repeat of the last election. Won’t happen.
“Only difference is that Carter had fewer crooks around him.”
True.
The media (back then) was left of center but could be counted on to be at times impartial in their reporting. That impartiality (along with journalistic integrity) disappeared years ago.
The worse part? There’s no shame on their parts. They still go around professing to be impartial and fair in their reporting. I might respect them more if they came out and said “Folks, you know what? We are biased very much in favor of Democrats. We fully support their agenda and candidates”.
