Newspaper endorsements and stories about them are valuable to the extent they influence that tiny percentage of voters who can be influenced. I expect she followed up with statistics about how hard it will be for the Democratic party to retain control in the Senate. Democrats are defending 23 of the 33 seats up for election this cycle. The experts all say the West Virginia seat (held by Joe Manchin) will go to the Republicans. Biden lost Texas by 5%, so I don't think that state is competitive.
This has the feeling of Obamas first election where democrats took a super majority and passed healthcare (as best we could) and many other important legislation stopguarded by republicans m. If we do that again we can make significant changes to safe guard democracy and our justice system
Well he can't afford print or TV ads because the GOP refused to pay for them any longer, their in a serious money crunch since lara trump was put in charge of the honey pot.
I used to watch her lot until the 2016 primary. She often brags she has a degree in Heathcare policy, so I was excited when she was going to interview Bernie Sanders when he was running on Medicare for all. She spent the whole interview smearing him as sexist because some of his supporters were using snake emojis to describe Elizabeth Warren online after she walked back most of her progressive policies to court bigger donors. Haven't wasted my time watching her since.
She’s wicked smart and easy to understand. I’d love to be at a big round table with her and several political journalists. I’m not going to say a word just soak it all in.
She puts WAY to much personal opinion into her reporting. I happen to AGREE with her opinions, but I do not feel they belong in proper news. Just give us the facts… At least she doesn’t MAKE UP the news, like Fox does.
Yeah no. Aside from a handful of voices, the MSM has been sane-washing and normalizing Ttump et al for years because, you know, the shareholders. Bad for the country but great for our bottom line, etc.
been saying this for a while. I get their years of "look how competitive this race is!" and goading that, but at this point they should really be considering that they've endangered themselves to a party that won't mind destroying them.
Thats why they've been hard at work buying up all the smaller local newspapers for the last couple of decades. We don't have a single independently owned major newspaper left in Montana, they've all been bought up and gutted to be stupid little propaganda newsletters.
I love it. I don't see many Harris/Walz signs in my area but, I hope it's just because they are afraid like I am. Kids got assaulted last election cycle because their parents were Dems. I'm afraid to put my kid in that position.
we have neightborhoods in my town where Harris/Walz signs are being stole. One neighborhood someone is taking them and relacing them with Trump/Vance signs.

Their supporters don’t read and if they did they would just say fake news or liberal media.

I think Republicans are going to find out that they should have removed a woman's right to vote BEFORE removing her right to choose.

She's more opinion and discussion than a news anchor doing the 6pm news though.

press knows there's no freedom in a dictatorship, and the first to be silenced are those who can speak the truth, no matter what side they are on.
selej
Owners of the newspapers definately do not care about the freedom of the press. Its the bribes/promised kickbacks that did not go through.

Yeah no. Aside from a handful of voices, the MSM has been sane-washing and normalizing Ttump et al for years because, you know, the shareholders. Bad for the country but great for our bottom line, etc.

I get their years of "look how competitive this race is!" and goading that, but
at this point they should really be considering that they've endangered themselves to a party that won't mind destroying them.
slinkydust
Do they? Didn't the LA Times have a leader quit because they wouldn't endorse Harris?
gardengnomeii
The LAT has ALWAYS been on the side of racists and fascists.
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
I think there should be a correction. Local press knows there's no freedom in a dictatorship. Big press(Fox) don't care
ArchMagos
Fox doesn't care because it isn't the press. They'd have to be truthful for that to be the case.

Thats why they've been hard at work buying up all the smaller local newspapers for the last couple of decades. We don't have a single independently owned major newspaper left in Montana, they've all been bought up and gutted to be stupid little propaganda newsletters.
