Press Breaks Record For Worst Week of Coverage Ever
the corporate media just kept on normalizing Trump's erratic ranting and raving. And the Times is already back to their old tricks, repeating Donald's lies and attacking Kamala Harris over fake controversies. This is a major press fail of the highest order. And if Trump were to win, the abysmal coverage of his cognitive decline would be one of the major reasons why.

5 more corporate media fails


I thought the Press couldn't surprise me anymore. I was wrong.

After a long debate, here are the top 5 corporate media fails for this week, that everyone needs to see.

Kamala Had No Teleprompter


The lies and conspiracy theories that spread like a wildfire about Kamala's successful press blitz this week were beyond baffling. The Press repeated lies saying her 60 Minutes interview was scripted and heavily edited in her favor. It wasn't. They posted claims that the media blitz was born out of desperation, and made it seem like voters still don't know who Kamala Harris is.

But it was Kamala's barely-covered Univision town hall, where the corporate media really failed. First, CNN and others took a jab at Harris, making it seem like she failed to answer a question about Trump's virtues. She responded gracefully and masterfully—but you wouldn't read that in the Press.

Then, Trump put out a ridiculous lie that a translator screen at the Univision town hall was actually a teleprompter. There was absolutely no proof of it, but corporate media ran with it anyway. Soon after, AFP, The Daily Beast, and others posted stories discrediting the lie. But the damage was done, and the subsequent stories buried what Kamala actually said.

Democrats Are Doing The Work


Whether it was CNN saying "Democrats grow anxious," Axios calling it the "Blue Wall Blues," or Fox saying Dems are "scared to death," the Press spent the week saying Democrats are worried about Kamala's campaign.

Using unnamed sources who obviously know nothing about what's actually going on, The Hill, Politico, NBC, Wall Street Journal, AP, and others all ran with this same bogus narrative. It looked like a coordinated attack, with each stirring up fake controversies, repeating Trump's lies, and trying to sow division within the party.

So let me set the record straight. Many folks are indeed worried, but it's not about Kamala's campaign. Democrats are concerned because wannabe-dictator Trump could wind up in the White House again. And the corporate media keeps propping up his flailing campaign with these major fails.

Trump's Mental Decline Story Disappears


When The New York Times released a scathing article on Trump's rapid mental decline last week, it gave an opening for the rest of the Press to follow suit. We were hoping this would be a turning point, an opportunity for other outlets to hone in on Donald's brain failures and the fact he is not fit to twist an Oreo. Or dip it in the milk.

But the article came and went, and the corporate media just kept on normalizing Trump's erratic ranting and raving. And the Times is already back to their old tricks, repeating Donald's lies and attacking Kamala Harris over fake controversies. This is a major press fail of the highest order. And if Trump were to win, the abysmal coverage of his cognitive decline would be one of the major reasons why.

Obama Speech Coverage Was Horrific


On Thursday, former President Obama gave a captivating speech at his first rally for Harris, in front of thousands of fired-up Democrats in Pittsburgh. It was one of the best campaign speeches Barack has ever given. So we released a rapid response article right after he spoke, because we knew the Press would do everything they could to spin this story to look bad for Kamala Harris. And that's exactly what they did.

Many outlets took one of his jokes out of context, and made it seem like Obama was making fun of Trump for wearing diapers. He wasn't. On top of that, most news orgs ran with attack headlines focused on Barack's outreach to Black men at an event before the speech, as if it's a bad thing for the campaign. Major fail by the Press.

Corporate Media is Letting Trump Hide From Them


Despite the fact that Trump bailed on his 60 Minutes interview, and chickened out on doing another debate, I have seen so many garbage headlines out there repeating Trump's lie that Kamala is avoiding the Press.

Even after the whirlwind media blitz this week, and as Donald continues to hide in his bubble, the prevailing narrative from corporate media is that Harris isn't doing enough.

It's untrue and absolutely pathetic. Where are the incessant articles about Trump completely avoiding the Press?

It's not enough to be outraged with the Press for these failures. It's on us to call them out at a constant, and push back on their lies. Our efforts are clearly paying off—The NY Times article about Trump's brain failures is proof of that. Corporate media is hearing us, even changing bogus headlines after we call them out for it.

Between now and Election Day, we're doing everything we can to hold corporate media accountable for their failures, call out Trump's lies, and elect Kamala Harris.

So the leftist media finally telling the truth about Harris is somehow a failure?  Seriously? jrSmiley_10_smiley_image.gif

Harris has "hurdles" in front of her, according to the media, as if Trump is the defacto choice. It is sick, and it is done because corporate media  literally doesnt care if a lunatic is put in office as long as they get good stories out of it.

Talk about an author immediately discrediting themselves.

Democrats whining about unfair media coverage might be unbeatable in a lack  of self awareness contest.

The media does not care who wins this election, period. 

We had months of coverage of Biden being old. Trump is both old and a lunatic and barely a word is said about it by mainstream media.

Exactly, they should pick the winner and adjust coverage as necessary.
