(3,705 posts)You say "I know bashing the media is popular here."
The mass media constantly bashes us. We should resist that and fight back.
Repeating statement made by Trump and then asking for a response is a way to allow Trump to frame the issues and to determine which issues are important. You may be OK with that for whatever reason, but people here are fully justified in criticizing that sort of lazy and biased excuse for journalism. Worse, it is dishonestly and deceptively biased to fool people into thinking it is "fair and balanced." We have a right to expect better.
Do you think that whether or not Harris is Black is an issue? Trump thinks so. Bash thinks so. Bash asks us all to assume that it is important, that it is a thing. That benefits Trump and hurts - bashes - all of us.
