RE: Liz Cheney loses badly in re-election campaign. Legacy media mostly frames her as a hero

Ron DeSantis will announce his Presidential candidacy and win the Republican nomination for 2024

I kind of think that this would be best for everyone involved. We don't need another shit show like we had in 2020 or even 2016. I wonder if the media would have the same disdain for DeSantis that they showed towards Trump?

"I wonder if the media would have the same disdain for DeSantis that they showed towards Trump?"


I don't think so…or at least significantly less. The reason I say that, is during the Covid-19 briefings that Trump gave, the media was ruthless towards him, and in a lot of cases, unjustified, because sometimes Trump really tried. But when Pence started talking, the media was unbelievably cordial to him.

This is what really brought my attention towards the media…about how worthless they are…the media is supposed to be critical of our leaders…when critical is due…but the amount of shit they shoveled on DJT…for no reason…because I watch those Covid-19 briefings, pretty much all of them, and pretty often, when the administration was trying to communicate solutions, the media would bring up all sorts of other bullshit…which had nothing to do with anything… just because they wanted to bash Trump…it was counterproductive, irresponsible, reckless and down right assholish.

Because if you're critical about everything, even good things, your credibility of being critical of bad things diminishes drastically.

The fourth estate needs a severe facelift...or a lobotomy.
