Please stay enthusiastic. Don't let polls or the naysayers in the corporate media, on social sites and even those in this forum get you down. Thank you all!
Question: Why is the latest corporate media narrative...
trying to get Harris to say something critical about Joe Biden? This is being pushed on everything from the View to Meet the Press. I don't remember the media trying to get Clinton or Biden to criticize Obama in 16 and 20, or even Al Gore to criticize Clinton in 00.
First, they were complaining she wasn't doing enough interviews. Now she's doing interviews so hacks like Peter Alexander and Bill Maher are attacking her for not attacking Joe Biden.
Are they so desperate for something to say negative about Harris that this manufactured controversy is the best they can come up with?

Weaponized Polling Is More Dangerous Than Ever
Great article. Apologies if it was posted before.
Right-leaning outfits are skewing the polls for Trump for quite sinister reasons.
THE BIG PICTURE AND JAY KUO
Election analyst Simon Rosenberg recently noted that of the last 15 general election polls released for Pennsylvania, a state viewed by both sides as key to any electoral victory, 12 have right-wing or GOP affiliations.
Rosenberg warned,
Their campaign to game the polling averages and make it appear like Trump is winningwhen he isn'tescalated in [the] last few days.
This isnt the first time the GOP has weaponized polling. In October 2022, right before the midterms, Republican-leaning polls flooded the zone, leading many in the media to predict a red wave that would swamp Democrats and turn control of the battleground states, the House, and the Senate over to the GOP.
But the red wave was a manufactured story, and it never crashed ashore. Instead, Democrats (and anti-extremist Republicans) won nearly across the board in the key swing states, gaining one seat in the Senate and only barely losing the House due to poor performance by Democrats in big blue states like New York and California.
