The Media's Mental Gymnastics Before Election Day
The mental gymnastics being displayed by members of the mainstream press over the past 48 hours is truly a sight to behold.
They are characterizing flippant statements Trump made about forcing Liz Cheney in front of rifles as an overt call to put Cheney in front of a firing squad. If they cared to listen to the full clip, they would see that Trump was more broadly referencing the Cheney family’s penchant for supporting wars and the larger military-industrial complex.
The literal treatment of Trump’s Cheney comments stands in stark contrast to their judicious interpretation of Joe Biden’s garbage statement. Biden quite literally called Trump supporters garbage and the media willfully accepted the generous interpretation from the White House spin team that inserted an inaudible apostrophe. It wasn’t until the non-political White House stenographers revolted that the media began to question the Biden team.
When you understand this background, the scant coverage of the devastatingly poor jobs reports makes sense. With four days before an election, a historically atrocious jobs report showed the US economy added a paltry 12K jobs in October, missing analysts’ expectations of 100K positions. When you dig into the numbers even more, the only employment growth came from government jobs while the year-long trend of revising previous months downward continued again.
The trendlines in the final week of the race are favoring Trump, but the media is doing its best to distract you. But there’s hope. Watch this:
There isn’t a person out there that wishes this was over more than me. I don’t know how the leftist media doesn’t have vertigo from all of the spinning that they do. For everyone that has not voted YET, look at our economy (the debt), look at the crime, look at the open border, look in your pockets and then go vote.
Everyone should read on Redstate The feel Good Friday “ the Resurrection of WNC written by Jennifer Oliver O’Connell . It will bring tears to your heart. That is what this country is all about. Neighbors helping neighbors coming from everywhere. So much money poured in to the election when it could be used to help our fellow citizens, disgraceful.
