So this ended up being a Trump accusation as he watched his lead disappear and Harris drawing in the big crowds now. I wonder if the old geezer is going to make it to November?
I miss the old days when bsamsthefailedbackyardrassler and g-troll "pretended" to act dumb whenever I embarrassed them.
Too bad I scared them and Pariah off for good.
I feel like maybe g-troll finally got some old man wisdom in 2021. BSAMS is probably thinking being the right wing working poor part of the MAGA cult is a transgressive act. Funny considering he seemed a fan of Dead Milkmen's Stuart.
g-man left when I called him out for whining about his family. He admitted years ago that he married a "LiBerAL", and regretted it ever since. I told him how strange it was for him to hate liberals when he actually married one, and he didn't like that.
bsamsthedivorcedfailureinlife was mad when I made fun of his love for all things Chris Christie. His meltdown spilled over into other forums here.
Last nonsense that Pariah posted, was his thread about how his pal Donnie Bone Spurs was going to be reinstalled as President, or whatever that rubbish was.
The media have gone on a Kamala Harris binge since the vice president moved swiftly to replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s 2024 candidate of choice, giving her the most positive coverage in modern history.
At the same time, and nearly as expected, the same media have gone on a scorched-earth campaign against former President Donald Trump, giving the Republican nominee what is likely to be a historic level of negative coverage.
That assessment comes from the latest review of network news from the conservative watchdog, the Media Research Center, which found that 84% of the coverage of Harris has been positive, while 89% of Trump’s has been negative on CBS, NBC, and ABC.
“Not only has Harris received 66% more airtime than former President Donald Trump, but the spin of Harris’s coverage has been more positive (84%) than any other major party nominee, even as Trump’s coverage has been nearly entirely hostile (89% negative),” according to the new report shared with Secrets. “Add it all up, and the networks have granted the combined Democratic ticket of Harris-Walz 82% positive press, while Trump-Vance have faced 90% negative coverage,” author Rich Noyes wrote.
The media’s cheerleading has continued into this week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where the pro-Harris coverage will reach a peak.
Still, polls and social media posts appear to show that as drunk as reporters and news anchors are for Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (R-MN), the public sees through it. In a Rasmussen Reports poll shared with Secrets, 60% of likely voters said they believe the media “try to help the candidate they want to win.”
And that is Harris, according to 57% of those polled.
But there is more to just positive press, which has favored Democratic presidential candidates over the past six decades.
Noyes also found that the three biggest outlets are not questioning Harris’s positions, are downplaying controversies such as Walz’s lying about his military resume, and are hyping nonexistent momentum for the Democratic ticket, which has been tied with the GOP ticket for two weeks.
"As the Democratic National Convention begins, the Big Three evening newscasts have delivered Kamala Harris the most positive start to a general election campaign of any presidential nominee in recent memory. Not only is she getting the most coverage, she’s also getting by far the most positive press,” Noyes wrote.
“The question is whether the public will be swayed by this extraordinarily lopsided coverage, or will they see this as just more evidence of a partisan news media taking sides,” he added.
Wow, how could Kamala Harris possibly be ahead in the polls, with "objective" coverage like that?!? I can't imagine.
And that's not even getting into how Google is suppressing and making invisible any conservative media sources in a Google search, where you can't even find and watch Trump's speeches in their entirety and context, to even know what Trump actually says. Or Facebook, same thing.
Only liberal media clips and outright lies, portraying Trump as dangerous to the country and the world, as a Nazi and a bigot and Hitler, and basically Satan incarnate. ( Which, by the way, is how Hamas and Soros-funded protesters, as well as Iran and the entire Islamic jihadist world portrays the United States. The same folks who are burning U.S. flags outside the Democrat National Convention, and at every university and city nationwide, in their bid to intimidate the Democrat leadership.) So the Democrat party is the party they think they can intimidate into doing their bidding, and all evidence is they will not only do Hamas and the Left's bidding, but do it eagerly. Which is to say, abandon Israel, and surrender U.S. sovereignty.
So if you want to destroy and overthrow the United States, Kamala and Walz and the Democrat-Bolshevik party are your natural choice. Because 20% inflation, roughly 20 million illegals, and roughly 10,000 more illegals entering every day with no vetting. Rampant surging crime in cities nationwide. An economy on the brink of a recession if not a depression. Unnecessary wars in Ukraine and Israel, handled so badly by the Biden/Harris administration that we are escalating toward a world war. And toward a third front in Taiwan. And 9-11 level imminent domestic terrorism enabled by the U.S. open southern border.
ALL THESE aren't enough apparently.
Some voters apparently want an EVEN WORSE next 4 years, allowing the Democrats to establish Stalinist authoritarian one-party rule in the United States.
To make this country over into Soviet Russia, Communist China, Venezuela, or Cuba. Because those countries have been such exemplary models of freedom and economic prosperity.
It’s not the media’s job to polish a turd. Trump does have Fox News and other conservative outlets doing just that so I question the partisan group’s methodology.

I wonder how the polling industry is going, more generally. Margins for error seem to be all over the place now, for a few years.
Certainly not counting on the polls being spot on here but I think they are capturing a surge of support for Harris that Biden had lost. She has started out raising Trump in campaign cash and not an old guy slurring his words so there’s a real chance she can beat him. But as you said, polling hasn’t been all that accurate. 2020 they tried to capture Trump’s support better but still missed by a lot. On a very limited level I’m not seeing the Trump signs out in the country that I did in 2020. That year once you got out of the cities and suburbs around where I live you saw tons of Trump and Pence signs. There’s still one up near where my folks live but I think the owner recently passed away.
The Economist following Trump's election in 2016 revamped its polling to try and be more accurate given the across the board failing of pollsters in that election. (I don't remember how they did that.)
I don't know how that percentage lead breaks down for the battleground states.

Oh, is that what happened to Pariah. I had wondered about his absence.
