Who cares if it was only Twitter? We’re pissed that someone from Biden’s team worked in concert with Twitter. Trump’s team worked with National Enquirer. Enquirer’s parent company has excellent lawyers. Whatever was agreed to wasn’t out of being naive or being duped into a stupid agreement. But team Trump coordinated to spike a story in a tabloid that everyone going through a supermarket line would see. And add to that the coordination with major talk show hosts to amplify good things and minimize the bad. That of course soft ball questions from friendly Fox hosts on a regular basis. Of course, nothing wrong with that, right? We’re trying to create a tempest in a teapot.
This isn’t a dynamic of the left mollycoddling their people on behalf of the DNC, and Fox News mollycoddling others on behalf of the GOP.
It’s far more a case of the main line media functioning in lockstep friendliness with DNC interests, and a few media outlets like, for example, The Epoch Times, and on at least a reasonable basis Fox News, actually behaving like rational people, and making the actual attempt to get to what’s true rather than spinning questions to play hardball, or softball, or any ball at all.
Yeah, so it’s not 100% pure as the wind-driven snow, but Fox is a helluva long ways from playing patty-cake with the GOP as leftists, consistent with their puerile psyche, sneering claim.
The left would LOVE to have us all believe the media landscape is Left v Right; it’s not.
Ever more increasingly, it’s Left v Truth.
