“…you see it with how badly Democrats are doing in the polls right now…” @ayman.msnbc.com on @msnbc.com If you’re on TV talking about politics it should be mandatory that you look at polls daily. Democrats have been leading the generic ballot for months. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

Democrats have also drastically overperformed in almost every special election this year. The idea that Democrats are doing poorly and losing elections is an outright fabrication. Harris's loss was a fluke, not the norm.

This makes me wonder how much of it is that the media likes trump vs the media hates democrats

I don’t think the media likes him. The media listens to their corporate overlords that tells him to give tax cuts.

The WH press corps is the absolute worst of the American political press. I think that in the political press overall the reporters are much more mixed in their opinions.

Ok, so how come they had no pushback back with the AP/Gulf of Mexico thing? I may be wrong but I don’t remember the press circling the wagons over this, like they do whenever one of their “stars” gets any degree of criticism. My recollection is the media as a whole just shrugged.

Thought of starting a site called “Vibeswatch” and just list the times cable news and national newspapers just insist on non-empirical things as facts. But then I remembered that I have a full time job already.

What the fuck? Is Ayman referring to that Dem brand-identity thing from weeks ago? Parties that lose elections always go thru it. Ppl said that abt the GOP in '08, & they stop saying it when they win the next election—which the GOP did during the 2010 midterms. God, the media is so damned awful.

That guy has been doing the “Trump is doing x; why it’s Democrats fault for not stopping him” schtick since January. #MurcsLaw

If MSNOW does not re-staff and re-think its agenda, it's not going to make it through the next six months.

I agree. They need to hit the wall. Hard.
