"Journalists" still rubbing their hands for reverse of Harris momentum

[BaronChocula]

For at least the past three weeks, Club MSM has been parroting a gopper position that the excitement behind Kamala Harris is not sustainable. They're not saying "we don't know if this will last." They're saying "what goes up must come down" as if Harris is fated for a fall. They cite "unforeseen world events" that can happen in Iran or x location under the assumption that world affairs are the vice president's Achilles heel.

Meanwhile Ukraine who has been backed by the Biden-Harris Administration has gone on offense and moved into Russia. Israel just accepted a Ceasefire deal in Cairo. But these things don't seem to count in Harris' favor when the Susan Pages and Andrea Mitchells run their mouths. Such maga-adjacent behavior. They can't just report that a Democratic campaign is successful. They have to speculate about damaging hypotheticals. That's what they think being objective is. They're so afraid of reich-wing media calling them liberal, they've been scared into tainting the actual news.

No, this in itself is anything but news, but it is more evidence in the case of journalistic malpractice in the MSM.

1. They are just getting their post convention messaging ready

They will hail a resurgent and focussed tsf campaign, and rail at a flatlined kamala campaign.

They will use some outlier polls from rasmussen and others as evidence that the swing states are in tsf's column, and that he is ahead nationally.

They will carry all his comments, whether small rallies, press screaches, or social media posts, they will interview gop pols, and tsf supportes on the street.

And they will make up fear and loathing in the dem camp.

It is so predictable i could scream.

3. Oh, I could so see it

I need to start taking some deep breaths.

2. There are no journalists

Just worn-out propagandists and empty-headed Kens and Karens holding mics like their all-day sucker.

4. So, your issue is with Susan Page & Andrea Mitchell's reporting.

USA Today and MSNBC daytime.

Is that the entirely of "Club MSM"?

[BaronChocula]

6. Yes

I have issues with their reporting and that of many others. I offer them as examples. Not as my definition as the entirety of the MSM. Clearly. Is it at all possible that you knew that though?

[maxsolomon]

7. No. DU features multiple daily OPs that rant against the "MSM", only rarely naming specific

reporters or organizations (obviously the NYT being the exception - all of DU hates them every day).

I'm never sure how big the MSM Club is. Maybe there could be a list of members, so I'd know not to blame those that aren't in the club.

11. Great!

Why don't you go get started on that.
Done. Buh bye

5. Good to know IT"S NOT JUST ME!! MSNBC is my #1 WTF generator.

8. They can go fuck a clogged toilet

9. I really noticed that this morning. . . .

"It is unclear how long Harris' momentum will last." Fuck these people. And for the record, I THINK it was that awful Andrea Mitchell. She has always been a repig shill, and she hasn't changed.

10. What I expect to hear from here on out is every time the Harris campaign

proposes something. The corporate press will dissect it until they're collectively blue in the face. Then move on to the next proposal, platform, whatever. Spend time telling people why it sucks, it's unrealistic, unpopular, etc., etc. When Trump's baboon ass utters something incoherent or with no specifics ("It'll be tremendous, like you've never seen, blah, blah, blah.&quot . The same hacks will treat it as a serious proposal and try to even things out between real plans/proposals and word salad gibberish.

They could always prove me wrong. But these assholes (with a few exceptions) are nothing if not predictable.
