ADMITTED IT! This Politician Says ‘We Have Everyone Else’ in Media (Except Fox)
Newsbusters.org ^ | 7/22/2021 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 07/22/2021 12:57:56 PM PDT by rktman

Sometimes people just come out and say what we all know to be true, even if some still pretend otherwise. Nikki Fried, a Democratic politician who is running for Florida governor and hopes to challenge Republican Ron DeSantis, tweeted this on Thursday: “Ron DeSantis has Fox News, but we have everyone else. Florida will be blue in 2022.”

There it is. “We have everyone else.” Here’s a screen shot of the tweet in case it gets deleted.

Now, we at the Media Research Center’s NewsBusters have known this for a while, but it’s not often that a Democrat will just come out and say it: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and other outlets are all possessions of the Democratic Party.

Democrats know it. Republicans know it. And journalists, if they are honest, know it too.

Fried is a frequent guest on the outlets she knows are in her corner. On March 31, 2021, she appeared on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show and bashed not just DeSantis, but her own state, saying she “want[ed] to apologize to the rest of the country of what happens here in the state of Florida.” Fried trashed DeSantis as “not rational,” “egotistical” and “dogmatic.”

On the June 27, 2020 edition of AM Joy, Reid tossed this softball to Fried about DeSantis and Covid: “Commissioner Fried, I want to let you critique your governor's performance.” See, MSNBC and the Democratic Party working together. At least Fried is being honest about it now.

>> ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times,

NBC, MSNBC, CNN are owned by Big Telecom — should be illegal.

Actually DeSantis will win his next elections with a bigger majority than he did the last time.

Couple personalities on Faux are good.

Other than that it's just OAN.

Fox is controlled opposition. It has been since Roger Ailes resigned in 2016.

*************

Or if the Dems can get the “right people” involved in the voting process it could turn.

So...Florida has two vulnerabilities that could flip the state.

Dems are even pushing the 'hate Ron Desantis' crap on black cable channels... Maybe they think DeSantis is more of a concern than Trump... or maybe they know nothing they say about Trump will work... because they've lied about him for so many years we're all on to them...

She practically admits that controlling the message is the secret the GOP-e still hasn’t figured out.
They are going to do the Bush-blame-game number on Ron DeSantis.

Unlike the GOP, they are going to spend the next 4 years on him just like they did Trump and GWB.
Lesson #1: No one ever won a war playing defense-only.

It may be the other way around and the MSM has control of the Democrat Party.

Sounds scary to us, but they can easily explain it away by defining what is meant by “have”. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you explain what you meant?

I don’t watch any of them, but I see OAN sometimes on Youtube. And Sky News.
