(Blast from the past) Right-wing media figures are desperately pushing conspiracy theories about Biden ahead of the debate
CNN +(Certainly Not News) ^ | June 25, 2024 | Oliver Darcy, CNN

(CNN) — Donald Trump’s allies in right-wing media have a problem ahead of CNN’s presidential debate: They’ve set the bar too low for President Joe Biden.

For years, and particularly over the last few months, MAGA Media has portrayed Biden as a senile, mentally incapacitated elderly man who cannot remember what he had for breakfast, let alone run the federal government. That might sound like an exaggeration to those who don’t tune in to Fox News or listen to talk radio, but it has been a real and constant theme in the right-wing media universe.

To support the narrative, these outlets and personalities have seized on Biden’s verbal gaffes (while ignoring Trump’s) and presented out-of-context video clips to their large audiences — a deceptive, but effective strategy that the Biden campaign has struggled to meaningfully rebut.

I am curious why you posted this today? Is it entertainment, an example of lying media and politicians, or is there some other reason?

is there some other reason?

Just as how the LAAP-dog media tried to convince everyone that Joe Biden was "running circles around everyone" at the White House, and staffers "couldn't keep up with him," they will go back to telling us how President Trump is a dictator who is "rounding up children" and "separating families" at the border.

Even while NBC is dumping Chuck Todd and CNN is moving Wolf Blitzer to mornings and trying to move Jim Acosta to midnight, MSNBC is bringing Rachel Maddow back to five nights a week.

The opposition media is remobilizing and we need to be prepared for it. The good news is that this time they are operating from a position of no credibility against a public that is motivated to see President Trump succeed.

Thanks... I see you already said that in headline sized lettering and then in another post right after my question. Some of us skip past headlines. The media along with many other people and entities have completely destroyed whatever credibility that they once had.

Laz—my issue is not just that they lie—but they insist on calling us right wing conspiracy theorists while they are lying.
