Maybe, people forget cos the MSM (tv & print) refuses to do their job. Think about how much effort Corp media has dedicated to the Biden is old stories. I’ve stopped watching, listening, or reading them cos they’ve clearly shown their hand now. Independent media (tv & print) is doing a better job.

In addition to being a firehose of bullshit, Trump was great for their business models. A close friend of several decades who is a former New York Times correspondent told me yesterday he hates to be so cynical, but Trump was good for centrist newspapers, so as soon as trump wins the NYT will 1/

Chuckles needs to stop pretending he wasn't on the front lines of the bullshit brigade for most of his career.

This kinda reminds me of the Pat Riley Knicks. They played a VERY physical game. It was said they played that way because the ref's can't call a foul on every play, so they start taking advantage of that and on top of it wear down the opponent with the beatings. One reason the NBA changed the rules

And Charlie, before he became a Never-Trumper, was directly responsible for a similar -- though less dramatic -- firehose of bullshit here in Wisconsin via talk radio. Doesn't make him wrong about Trump but illustrates one problem with thinking about him as sui generis instead of a culmination.

Can’t argue with him but given his past I’ll just say it takes one to know one.

Highly rehearsed lies that he repeats over and over and over. You can’t stop the bum’s rush.

Actually Mr. Sykes the prob is MSM. Instead of spending every hour bitching, debating and pulling apart President Biden's debate performance, the real story is the convicted felon lying 30+ times to the American people. TALK ABOUT THAT 24/7. DRILL IT INTO E'ONE'S HEAD UNTIL THEY'RE SICK OF IT.
