already so bored of Dems Doomed Midterm coverage for elections 50 wks away

notice how none of the reports note it’s entirely possible unemployment rate Nov 2022 will be 3.5% and Dow Jones sitting at 45,000?
good grief this is same Beltway press that thought “caravans” were going to save GOP during 2018 midterms

they lost 40 seats
press after Va Gov race: everything is going to be exactly the same in Nov. 2022! nothing in the political landscape will be altered!

meanwhile, Fox News hasn't mentioned CRT once in two weeks.
and yes, this utterly hysterical midterm coverage 50 wks in advance is unprecedented in American journalism
it's the obsession w/ daily drama, real or imagined, that the press developed during Trump years that they just cannot shake now, and it produces some truly awful journalism

my latest—the media wheels are coming off; pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
“The Post hit Biden for not inciting general panic with his public comments regarding the challenges the U.S. faces today, as we come out of an unprecedented global pandemic, which has scrambled economies around the world.”
something has gone seriously wrong w/ the WashPost newsroom this year

he took US vaccination rate from 1% to 75%

but that always gets flushed down memory hole in media “messaging” stories
can’t make this up. premise of WP piece is Biden refuses to talk abt how awful everything is !
last president lied every time his lips moved

WP hits Biden bc he’s not pessimistic enough

re-posting this from 13 months ago in light of news that (surprise!) Trump team hid Covid info and let people die on purpose; pressrun.media/p/of-course-tr…
all of this was painfully obvious in 2020 but press was too scared to say so
"Relentlessly giving him the benefit of the doubt, the press stressed Trump was "slow" to respond, and "missed" the Covid-19 warnings — he just didn't "see" it coming, which is why America's response has been so pitiful, incoherent and deadly. "

my latest— stop trying to rehab this guy; pressrun.media/p/good-grief-c…
“Despite his record as an established loser who voters now have an allergic reaction to, the mainstream media continue to love Christie and hold him up as an important voice in our political conversation.”
“It’s astonishing the lengths CNN will go to try to appeal to GOP viewers, in this case handing over an hour of programming to a has-been politician.”

it’s a total coincidence that Blitzer is tweeting out GOP talking points
ftr, Dow up 10,000 pts since Biden elected

for some reason Blitzer not tweeting out those numbers
ftr, unemployment down from 6.7% to 4.3% since Biden elected

for some reason Blitzer not tweeting those numbers
