Do We Expect Accurate Reporting on the Debate? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-09-09  

In the last Presidential Debate, Joe Biden had a very weak first half, and a fairly strong second half. TFG had a consistently strange a weak performance. But the reporting was all on Biden’s incompetence and struggles. While it ended up being a blessing in disguise, it was not accurate reporting.

The MSM does not want a blowout. The MSM does not want true reporting. The MSM doesn’t even seem to care about democracy. The MSM wants eyeballs. Eyeballs. Eyeballs. Eyeballs.

I will be stunned if the reporting is anything other than how Harris “handled” Trump. Either she will be seen as not able to deal with him, or she will have dealt with him successfully, but in a way that will evoke a sexist and/or racist trope. I would be so happy to be wrong, and it ends up that they report more or less what actually occurred. But I expect gaslighting and sanewashing.
