The Press Won’t Discuss Real Campaign Issues, Because They Don’t Want Trump To Win
The Federalist ^ | August 13, 2024 | Mark Hemingway

Posted on 08/13/2024 1:51:03 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Following the dramatic reveal of Joe Biden’s age-related decline on a national debate stage, there was a brief period of self-examination among the press where they asked themselves whether regurgitating Democrats’ credulous and self-serving narratives was in the best interest of the American people. That lasted about a week, and was clearly insincere.

We’re now three weeks from the press hounding Biden out of the race because they looked like fools for defending years of video clips showing him stumbling around on the international stage non compos mentis. And with no remorse or self-awareness, the media are already back to doing everything they can to serve Democrats’ narrative.

What this means in practice is that, unlike a traditional presidential campaign, there’s been virtually no discussion of actual issues such as the economy, immigration, education, taxes, health care, foreign policy, and so on. The last four years have been pretty disastrous. As a result, if this campaign becomes about issues and what’s happened under the Biden-Harris presidency, Trump is going to benefit greatly from that discussion. So the press won’t let it happen.

Kamala Harris could not survive the scrutiny of a real presidential campaign, and the media know this. They figure they can skate by with three months of embarrassingly puffy coverage and fool just enough voters with the talk of “vibes” and “joyful” campaigning, because vibes are all the Harris campaign has. The Harris-Walz record is indefensible. There’s a reason their website has seven donation buttons, but no webpage dedicated to issues.

I’m sure the press doesn’t agree on the issues anyway.

It is because the people who own the media and have the power to hire and fire make all of the puppets dance on the strings.

Has Big Media EVER wanted to honestly discuss legitimate campaign issues?

Democrats are losing their registered voter leads. No votes to harvest.

They are going back to the obama playbook using one word "joy" to completely describe her qualifications.

Remember the soviet poster of obama? Red and blue with one word "hope"??

Today’s woke press corp doesn’t have the brain power to understand issues, much less know what they are.

The “media” should just move the Jamaican Queen’s ass down to Broadway and then line up to take turns to kissing it all day long.

The main issues listed by Kamala and company are - abortion, climate change and marihuana.
Apparently, if you like to be killing babies, support radical climate agenda and legalizing drugs, then you are the voter they target.

this is why EVERY main stream interview of DJT or JD is about cat ladies and abortion. They refuse to discuss issues with them. Now....how do we break through this wall?

Prayer works so I will continue to command this supernatural breakthrough. Please join me in agreement on this.

I have been saying that Trump has been talking issues all along.

The dummies don’t talk issues because they have to lie and their dummie voters don’t care about anything but free stuff, gay stuff, and abortion.

It is soooo Joyous!

They let their media arm of the RAT party do all the insulting and name calling about Trump.

Trump has to do his own to be heard.

The only thing that riled the left about that Musk conversation is that issues would be discussed without their filter and word twisting and the RATs and the MSM just cannot have that.
