Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is blaming the mainstream media for the Democratic Party’s cratering national support. In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story.
“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said. “The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.” “There were people who said the [2024] protest movement didn’t have the energy that it did after the 2016 election of Donald Trump,” he said.
But the desperate Dem rejected that assessment – instead accusing mainstream media of chasing clicks, with some “caving” to Trump’s influence.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS PERJURED ITSELF HEAD OVER HEELS FOR YEARS.....
AMAZING LACK OF AWARENESS——
I didn’t know Clyburn was a total illiterate. It’s a shame. He needs to get somebody to read him all the articles the “media” prints every day about the Trump administration and he wouldn’t be wearing his heart around on his sleeve.
Then Clyburn needs to blame himself and the Dem party because the MSM only says what they are told to say.
Yeah, it’s a great message Jimmy boy
Keep it comin
Clyburn is always amusing:

“Clyburn says Biden should ‘stay the course’ despite debate performance...
Asked Friday if he thinks there’s a better Democrat to communicate the party’s platform, Clyburn, who served in House Democratic leadership for more than two decades before stepping down earlier this year, responded: “No.”
“There’s no better Democrat,” he added.”
Hey, Clyburn:
Is it required to get a visa to go to Oppositeland?
even the deaf, dumb and blind eventually realize when the ladder they keep trying to climb is leaning on the wrong wall. apparently democrats are not as well equipped mentally as the deaf, dumb and blind.
That's always been the problem with the left. They need the LAAP-dog media to push their message.
If they really had a compelling message, it would sell itself and find an audience. It wouldn't need a dependent media to "deliver" it for them.

Yet another example of that old trope: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.”
Jim, the press operates 24/7 in Democrats Good, Trump Bad mode.
Let’s see, the D’s Trans Uber Alles program is a bust
Getting in bed with MS13 is a flop
What else you got Jimbo ? Go on and shuffle off mumbling fool.
Jimmy is on the top tier of Democrat deep thinkers.
They are like a drug addict, refusing to see reality and in denial….. is that redundant?
Never left the plantation and still doesn’t know. An IQ of a tardigrade.
So Clyburn admits that the dems EXPECT the media to shill for them.
You guys, it IS the MSM’s fault. Why? Because they’re reporting what the Dems are saying, and what they’re up to. That’s enough to turn ANYONE off.
He’s completely right! The Dem lackeys in the media show them in all their glory. We are seeing it action today. Non stop coverage of DeMS-13. You don’t think that insanity is driving their numbers down?
Funny he can’t stop himself from blaming someone else, including the lapdog media that cozies up to him and the other Dems all the time.
If there were an honest, courageous, unbiased group of hard working investigative journalists the Dems would have sunk like a stone years ago.
Media Research Center tracked 80-97% all negative story minutes against Trump all these years.
