(1,863 posts)Number 1 theyre mainlining Fox all day long. They have a different set of facts.
But its not just Fox.
Its the newspapers like Dallas Morning News.
The feature article about the debate read like it was a normal debate. The article the next day did normal fact checking and the score was pretty equal.
Dont remember whether they even mentioned the contention that Haitians in Springfield Ohio are eating peoples pets. I do know that they really havent featured any of whats been going on in the past couple weeks.
If I didnt get my news from a bunch of sources and just relied on the newspaper here I wouldnt know what the hell was going on.
Then add Fox. Where all day they simply lie. Or they just dont report on whats going on.
Then you have CNN and even in MSNBC that essentially translate (sanewash) What Trump says into semi coherency. Most of the time when something happens that they cant spin they just report it once and then move on
For example, Trump made a speech in California where he created a giant faucet thats taking all the water from Canada and pouring it into the pacific ocean. Thats why Southern California is dry according to him. He also confused Catalina Island which is a visible from where he was with Hawaii.
And on and on and on. Hes doing the Gish galop with the entire nation.
Thats why its close.
