THREAD: Has the mainstream media learned nothing from 2016? (1)
“He’s going to have to face questions about Ukraine and his son”
I’ve heard this from pundit after pundit about Joe Biden and the next debate.
My question: WHY? There’s no evidence of any wrongdoing on Biden’s part. It’s all cooked up by Trump and his mob. (2)
This is exactly one of the prime ways Hillary’s emails “got legs.”
In my book I call it (the email “scandal”) a “pseudo-event.”
It gathers reality because the media confers reality on it through repetition. (3)
Facts and evidence are as irrelevant in the media-generated world of pseudo-realities as they are in the world of advertising. Trump knows this if he knows anything. His whole life is one big advertisement for himself. (4)
There’s NO REASON they the debate panel “has to” ask about a GOP created diversion.
Indeed it’s irresponsible for them to do so.
If they insist on doing it, it will be decisive proof (as if we needed it) that they learned NOTHING from 2016. (5 & end)
