(2,453 posts)70. Sorry but you're wrong. Just because people didn't listen doesn't mean it wasn't there.
I hardly ever watch MSM but when I did I heard numerous stories explaining the reality of tariffs. The reality was made clear to anyone who wanted to listen. The fact that people apparently didn't want to listen isn't their fault. On this issue they definitely did their jobs.

I disagree. I think they do want to control him, and they do to a large extent

The media weren't asleep at all. They knew. They just didn't explain it to their viewers/readers.

Not telling you at all. Never said they wore red hats. Don't need to wear one to know their politics.

You'd think. However, they didn't think it applied to them. Not contractors. Directly for the federal government.

Denial. Lots of denial. A refusal to see anything that goes against their beliefs.

This perfectly illustrates why all the hand wringing over what the Democrats did wrong in the election is just total BS
