Replying to @atrupar
Trump: "I better win or you're gonna have problems like we've never had. We may have no country left. This may be our last election. You want to know the truth? People have said this. This could be our last election."

Video at link and thanks to Aaron Rupar for sitting through this trainwreck!

...but the others just treat him as a legit candidate w/o mentioning his clear cognitive decline. CNN, once in a blue moon, will fact-check him (Daniel Dale) but it's not enough.

I'm watching podcasts more and more for more truthfulness (MeidasTouch, Bulwark, et al).

TBH, I have absolutely no tv service where I live, not even local stations. Zero tolerance for BS & liars.

I used to have the top tier of cable. No more.

But I can't stop them, other than to "vote" with my viewership or not.

But for gods sake after all this time, the tens of thousands of lies, the hundreds of thousands of pandemic deaths, the thousands of migrant children who will probably never be reunited with their parents, the trillions in debt, it just goes on and on. And now he’s literally deteriorating before our eyes on National television, and still they treat him with kid gloves and like he’s actually something special rather than a freak of the genetic lottery who’s only in this position because his daddy left him $450 million dollars!. Geezus sometimes it just makes me want to bang my head against the wall to make it stop!

Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.

The corporate media want another four years of Trump.

Vice President Harris as president would mean the continuation of President Biden’s sound public policy and responsible governance – the last thing the corporate media want.
