Nov 6

All I watch is sometimes the afternoon-night crew on MSNBC.

The mainstream media did a lot of damage since Biden was elected:

- made the Afghanistan withdrawal into a disaster instead of informing about the circumstances there caused by Trump. This made Biden drop in favorability polls and he never recovered

- didn’t talk enough about the real causes of inflation: the pandemic and price gouging. We did better than the rest of the world but they didn’t say that. Also didn’t talk much about improving inflation numbers

- did little to dispel the myth about a bad economy. Job numbers and unemployment rate were good

- were like jackels harping on Biden being in mental decline. Did not do the same with Trump. Normalized. Trump’s asinine behavior and his felony convictions

- were too both siderish comparing Trump and Harris. Saw that a lot with the NYT and WaPo.

Ultimately they cared most about their profits.
