So I guess the Republican record remains intact.

jlp2024.bsky.social•8 days ago

I am baffled by commentators consistently hoping mainstream media will do better after 10 years of failures.

jlp2024.bsky.social•8 days ago

I share your bewilderment but there are certain predictable things at this point with Trump and the media.

They voted against their interest 40 years ago, and they are still voting against their own interests.

But it's the minorities fault their lives are worst than their parents.

deepvard.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s EGGcellent propagandizing by GOP

Dumbocrats can’t give water to fishes without NEGATIVITY🤦🏻

4horses2dogs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Young people can't afford anything so they're going to vote against whoever is the incumbent.

4horses2dogs.bsky.social•8 days ago

And if they're uninformed they will vote along party lines with their parents and if they're misinformed they're probably Republicans🤣

Six percentage points, not six percent. It’s an important distinction.

wilkiemahoneygags.bsky.social•8 days ago

The lies of Trump are the lies of the networks that air them.

😳 what r his court jesters putting in his head?

Alas but for the price eggs 🥚 🙄🇺🇸 #MakeWiseDecisions ... next time

@nbcnews is complicit if they don’t correct this, and many other lies told during @meetthepress this morning.

shenloop.bsky.social•8 days ago

If you are a journalist in the room with Trump and he says “as you know” what do you say? 11 years on, what do you say?

spenlow.bsky.social•8 days ago

So many lies to tell, so little time.

arpoke.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump has always created his own reality. Daddy’s money allowed that early on, now it’s the money from the MAGA idiots.

pattistoll.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm pretty sure the ratings at NBC these days are trying to tell NBC the same kind of thing. I'm just not watch much TV news, besides MSNBC. I fill in my diet of that with reading a lot of AP, Reuters, Guardian, random large newpapers, PBS and NPR news, and CBC. No NBC, CBS, CNN or ABC right now.

He is so demented.

joshdsw.bsky.social•8 days ago

He openly says that he grabs women by the crotch and perhaps worse just by walking up and doing it. Doing the same to the MSM, he just lies and they take it. He knows from experience very few will challenge it. What is this dynamic on the part of the press?

mgallagher.bsky.social•8 days ago

Fact checking the great orange is pointless.

He doesn’t care and his supporters care less.

The rest of us know almost every word is a lie including a and the, to crib from McCarthy.

purinagodchaux.bsky.social•8 days ago

It is most certainly not pointless

we-are-toast.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hillary carried them by 30%, Biden by 24%. There's something VERY wrong with these young people that they could be so misinformed. Why did they believe the lies over truth and where were they getting the lies from? We can't win without ending the right wing propaganda machine.

abramswannabe.bsky.social•8 days ago

And the mainstream media wonders why it’s losing viewership credibility.

rosanne328.bsky.social•8 days ago

Did Welker even push back? She is the worst host of MTP. Tim Russert must be turning over in his grave.

marklundvoice.bsky.social•7 days ago

She is the worst host. Period.

"big strong young guys were coming up to me, with tears in their eyes..."

"...I won young people..." 🤨 At a human trafficking bingo?

chrisgbedford.bsky.social•8 days ago

Noting that those Reagan-supporting youth would be 60ish now. Trump support among the 60-65 demographic relative to other age groups?

kurtandersen.bsky.social•8 days ago

Voters who were under 30 in 1984 are now all between 58 and 70. Last fall, Trump won voters 50 to 64 by 56% to 43%; among voters 65 and over, Harris and he were tied at 49%.
