I figured we needed a thread specifically about the media.

There was a very big correction recently by the Washington Post.


That story was supposedly "independently confirmed" by CNN, NBC News, USA Today, ABC News, & PBS News Hour. How could they all have gotten the quote wrong if they actually independently confirmed the story?






Why do all the errors always go in one political direction and not closer to 50/50?

Boo hoo

Why did Trump agree to do a debate with Tapper as the moderator?

Are you so blind that you can't see that all Trump and his surrogates are doing is setting the excuse train for when he either backs out or gets curb stomped during the debate?

It is funny how many Trump supporters think Biden will back out and many Biden supporters think Trump will back out.

Why would Trump back out? Biden will have probably have to be on something strong stimulant or Adderall like he was for the state of the union to even be able to participate. But if he is on something it will be obvious like the state of the union.

It is laughable that Hunt was trying to cover for Tapper when she was happy about Rand Paul's neighbor attacking him. Sick stuff

What's laughable is your response. Didn't even address why Trump agreed to a debate hosted by Tapper.

You love all the conspiracies. Just love to lap them up. Biden isn't and never has been a drug addict. Including during the SOTU.

Every accusation is an admission, that pretty much guarantees Trump is usually hopped up on something.

CNN kicking Trump surrogates off the air for daring to criticize Jake Tapper. I'm sure CNN will use that same neutralness for the debate/sarcasm off.

She got what she deserved, and she knows it. Lol.

I think they moved up the debate to exclude RFK because he was trending to make the originally scheduled debate.

I also think they pushed up the debate because if Biden has a bad showing that he will get pressured to step aside at some point.

Why would Trump agree to a debate hosted by Tapper? I'm guessing Trump is confident that Biden will look bad and he just wanted him on stage to debate so he didn't worry about that or the other changes that clearly help Biden. No audience, the mike getting cut when the other is talking, etc.

I don't think Biden is or ever has been a drug addict, but they are definitely giving him something in certain instances like the state of the union. You could tell he was on something like Adderall.

Got your head so far up Trump's arse, you can't tell up from down. Classic.

Then if Trump is/was so confident, he doesn't need to be preparing with excuses in case he sucks. He agreed to the terms, nobody should be giving credence to or even listening to his complaints of "unfairness" now.

Biden doesn't do or take Adderall. What was obvious to you is just more conspiracy theories, made up to deflect from a good performance, to the rest of us. In and case, Adderall doesn't make people in mental decline due to aging any more cognizant or coherent. Since you and the right wing have claimed that is what Biden is suffering from, it would have absolutely no effect. Now, it can make people who are already incoherent ramble on endlessly for hours. Who does that remind me of? Hmmm.....

You say hysterical, the tweeter says meltdown. Neither of those things are remotely true.

I was speculating about why. Of course we don't know for sure. He agreed to the rules and moderators, but that doesn't mean we have to pretend that the moderators aren't anti Trump based on their own statements on air.

I don't think the debates really tell us much anyway. It's mostly talking points and the moderators spend too much time on things that the public aren't interested in and not enough time on what concerns us the most.

I said something like Adderall. They are definitely giving him something when he has to make a speech. It's quite obvious.

No its not. There is no proof, anecdotal or otherwise, that Biden is on anything.

That's just you and the right wing trying to justify why Biden is much more mentally acute than the doddering, Alzheimer's ridden elderly grandpa you want us to believe that he is.

 

[MT15]

Biden will have probably have to be on something strong stimulant or Adderall like he was for the state of the union to even be able to participate.

Quit pretending you know something that you cannot possibly know. Or quit lying. I don’t care which it is, but you are consistently acting like you know things you don’t know.

Who would claim something would or wouldn't happen 100% especially in politics?

It’s also them projecting Trump’s drug use onto Biden. Trump had a known cocaine issue previously and one of his former employees has shared that he has taken to snorting ground up Adderall.

And Trump, who attacks everyone who has a bad thing to say about him, has never, ever lashed out at this guy. Even when he revealed his incontinence or that he had to have surgery on his nose decades ago due to his abuse of cocaine.

Of course, it’s his word, but he’s not anonymous and Trump has never even threatened to sue him even once, which is very much out of character for him. I think this guy is holding back something extremely heinous.

This made me chuckle. All the false info SFL has posted and he tells himself this, lol.

Maybe he meant it similar to how some people do when they say things like “I don’t like pretzels, I love pretzels.” Except he forgot to add the second part. Like “I don’t support fake news. I am fake news.” Just an honest mistake on what otherwise would have been a totally honest post.

Omg. Adderall!!? Say it ain’t so. Biden taking legal drugs. That’s a disqualifier for sure. What if he doesn’t even have a prescription? How many felony charges would that be. 1 for each pill. So like 30 felonies?

Yeah, they jumped the shark a long time ago.

It's definitely his dementia. If he was in the Republican Party you would say it is dementia, but because he's running for President you have to act like he's fine mentally. Luckily anyone can see it despite his supporters claim.

It's his dementia and it's definitely a sign of cognitive decline.

Any foreign leader would prefer Biden to be President over Trump because they know Biden with his dementia obviously isn't running the country and they probably feel sorry for Biden.

If both would be treated the same then I would say that Trump should be prosecuted for any crimes he might have committed. But most of it's political because Joe's dementia is too bad for him to beat Trump on his own.

They aren't gaffes for Biden. It's cognitive decline from dementia. Do those younger members of Congress also walk around like they don't know where they are or have to be led around like a 2 year old?

Why would Trump back out? Biden will have probably have to be on something strong stimulant or Adderall like he was for the state of the union to even be able to participate. But if he is on something it will be obvious like the state of the union.

Adderall cures dementia?

Trump is worried that he’s about to get smoked, and how bad losing badly to someone he’s been saying is so weak and feeble would be for him
==================


…….Trump — who has never admitted he lost fairly to Biden in 2020 and continues to spread false and unproven theories about election fraud — may also be setting up a series of excuses in case he is outperformed by Biden.

“Maybe I’m better off losing the debate,” Trump quipped in an interview with Real America’s Voice earlier this month. “I’ll make sure he stays. I’ll lose the debate on purpose, maybe I’ll do something like that.”………

Trump has spent months painting Biden as incompetent. Now he's changing his tone before the debate

After months of casting President Joe Biden as a senile shell of a man incapable of putting two sentences together, Donald Trump has changed his tune.
