ABC Hypes Buttigieg’s ‘Candidacy Full of Firsts’, the ‘Anti-Trump’

South Bend, Indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg (D) was set to formally announce his candidacy for president on Sunday and ABC’s Good Morning America completely bought into the hype and tried to amplify it. According to co-host Whit Jonson, the network sent chief national correspondent Matt Gutman to South Bend to “look at Mayor Pete and the momentum he's building.”

After being introduced, Gutman joked about how the announcement was “the biggest non-secret in politics”. “Now, typically in elections, the voters seem to go for someone who is the opposite of the incumbent and, in this case, Buttigieg is offering himself up as the anti-Trump,” he added. “In his words, he’s a -- an intellectual, laidback, gay mayor from the Midwest, who is half the age of the President.” What about all the incumbents that win, Matt?

I think it is great that ABC goes for him. He is not going to have any great popular support, and other liberal news outlets are going to go for Sanders or Harris or Booker. Let them all mishmash with each other.

WSJ, in their weekend edition, wrote a glowing article for Buttigieg, which I dubbed an “in kind” campaign contribution via an ad pretending to be “reporting”.

If this guy was ever nominated a few million more Democrats, in addition to the ones who voted for him in 2016, will vote for Trump next year.

If ABC had done their job properly with jOkeass, we wouldn’t have Trump. Trump is entirely the making of ABC.
