Does the news media have a candidate they would not

Bash around?

Rinse repeat at nausea.

1. its not the media's role to treat candidates with kid gloves

i just wish they treated all candidates equally and there are plenty of studies showing media bias especially against women

2. O I'm betting it gets worse if harris or warren

Ever get near the lead because trump will not hold back giving them tons of fodder.

3. even without Trump's attention

media is screwing Warren and Harris


It is beyond frustrating.

4. It's not the media's job to try to destroy Democrats and prop up Trump but they do it anyway

Much “serious” skepticism about Democrats, much wide-eyed wonder about Republicans.

It has been this way for a long time.

See Bush v Gore. Kerry v Bush. McCain v Obama (before McCain said that idiotic thing about “the fundamentals of the economy are strong” right after the economic crash). Romney v Obama. Trump v Clinton.

Always propping up the Republican, always shitting on the Democrat

5. The missing piece is media-savvy. They will try, but if the candidate understands the media

the candidate will win. This is how Obama did it. He worked the media on camera and off. He spoke well. He projected confidence. He told them stories they wanted to hear. When negative stories came out, he swatted them away like flies.

It is NOT rocket science, but it does require a certain skill set that most people don't have.

6. harris maybe? ?
