When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his primary challenge to Joe Biden in April, the media shrugged him off as a meme candidate who would soon collide with political reality. Two months later, Kennedy is polling as high as 20% and his campaign is gaining momentum. And the media — unwilling to let Biden be primaried by this pedigreed populist — have decided it’s time to step in.
And step in they have. Over the past weeks, major print and broadcast organizations have laid the foundations for a powerful narrative designed to hobble Kennedy’s campaign before a single vote is cast. The strategy is to disqualify Kennedy by labeling him a font of misinformation, out to serve America’s monied technocrats. In other words: a Republican in Kennedy clothes.

Not allowing Kennedy to debate in the primaries is a threat to Democracy.
Both should be cajoled gently into taking the proverbial dirt nap.
Good point.
POTUS votes cast by actual people—that’s so 2016.
concur 100%
My #1 issue above all others is who will keep my kids out of some useless neocon war.
There are many things I disagree with him about, but its not like the GOPe is stopping that stuff either. He is right about the intel state, civil liberties, and most importantly foreign policy.
His defense posture is to “cut” the defense budget by bringing our forces home and focusing on defense of our nation vs being the world policeman.
I can nitpick some of it but overall I can live with it as a Veteran. Ironically, he would be almost as hated as Trump by the deep state. The DNC is going to “Bernie” him. They have to because he will win some primaries.
When the left wingnuts of the Democrap party , the “Mainstream” Media, gets to say what is “Misinformation”, all is lost.
Read these!
Once you get past his vaccine views, he’s a hard-core extreme leftist!

You really in favor of that?
Fundamentally he’s another professional politician saying things he thinks will give him traction with the voters.
What we’re seeing here from both parties is the “Obamafication” of campaigning. Get your competition disqualified.
“There must be a plan in place by 2024 that stops most of the illegal activities used by the democrats.”
Stop right there, R!
No such plan could possibly exist or be in the works.
The sheer scale and multifarious/multifaceted nature of the fraud the Donkey Party has in store for us for Fall 2024 will stun the populace and shock into silence even the most experienced electoral hands.
Tell us he hasn’t at least earned a place at the table.
The media all wanted Kennedy on their shows to prove him a conspiracy kook but all of his “misinformation” kept turning out to be true. So, they had to de-platform him.
That dates back to Obama for Senate if memory serves. The Star Trek actress’ husband or whatever, divorce records unsealed?
What a long strange trip it’s been.
That’s a lot of “aura”! LOL!!
But if he disrupts the Dem primaries it's all good then.
“Which will survive - the woke narrative or the Kennedy aura?”
RFK Jr is woke.
“I can almost see RFK Jr running as president Trump’s vice president. I don’t know a lot about RFK Jr’s politics ...”
Dangerous lefty.
“There must be a plan in place by 2024 that stops most of the illegal activities used by the democrats. Whatever the plan it will have to be similar to a military intelligence operation.”
Dream on.
Mainstream news outlets want to end Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s primary challenge”
Lame Stream news outlets want to end Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s primary challenge
There, fixed it
The mass media is going Kennedy a favor—because if they fail and he becomes the Democratic nominee the CIA will have to step in and end it with bullets or a plane crash.
