Media called Youngkin moderate. Our political media is conservative-biased

[Anonymous]

The problem is the media treats people like Youngkin as serious people. This gives them legitimacy.

The problem is the media snoozed on the idiots who won the down ballot races. Totally mediocre people and candidates who now have a lot of real power.

And the media do it for money.

NYT and WaPo Politics troll liberals for clicks.
That’s their business model.
Look at the most-clicked articles on the site: it’s all Opinion and Politics.

We got Coathanger Glenn Youngkin so Ashley Parker and Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker could sell subscriptions and ads to the NYT/WaPo audience

True in part - but the Dems have a lot of responsibility for falling asleep at the wheel. I'm pretty engaged in this stuff and I don't think anyone in the party tried that hard. Even when things started looking bad I think they figured Ds would just muscle through.

Did everyone here really forget why Youngkin won? T-mac was a dreadful candidate, and people wanted schools open and teaching the three Rs and not social engineering. It's that simple.

It you can't vote a straight party ticket, the Democratic party isn't for you. But remember Republicans, voting a straight party ticket is clearly group think.

NYT cover-up of Youngkin’s racist dog whistle continues.

He's right. Our neutral political media has covered up GOP racist dog whistles by framing them in soft language. Why does the NYT cover up what Republicans are doing? It's maddening.

Huh? I recall reading article after article about appeals to suburban parents being racist dog whistles.

NP: The CRT one. “CRT” now means whatever the Republicans ranting about it want it to mean. Continuing to whitewash history, particularly with younger students who may lack the ability to realize that they are being taught a very limited and biased”history “ is as extremist as it gets, although not unusual, particularly in former cradle-of-the-Confederacy states.

What is hilarious is that the progressives insist on one hand the "CRT is not in schools" and then absolutely lose their minds when someone bans it from schools, an order that they claim would obviously ban nothing at all...

Really? It’s not in school and yet you crazies are banning it. This is just a republicans tool to enforce hive mind thinking. They will go through the school and punish anything that does not conform to Fox News and Tucker Carlson.

If it isn't in schools then you have nothing to be bothered about. Obviously there is no problem here.

The problem is what they are definiting as CRT. Which is not actually CRT.

They can't even define it. They just engage in handwavey bogeyman stuff wrapped in some dogwhistles and a suggestion that whites are being oppressed.

And as for the anti-mandate stance, that only plays into the false notion that the pandemic is just the cold and nothing to worry about and that the prevention is somehow worse than the disease itself... Get back to us when vaccines and masks have killed 800k Americans,

Our media is pro-Republican in practice, because wrongheaded journalists feel like they must remain neutral on lies.

This is how we got Youngkin. VA voters don’t know how extreme the GOP is.

In the aftermath of Jan. 6, most of the media still hasn’t really figured out how to cover Republicans. I’d include myself in that statement. We mostly just pretend Jan. 6 didn’t happen, as if it’s totally normal to let Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) pontificate about gas prices or inflation while we ignore the lies he continues to spew about who’s actually responsible for the attack—or the role he played in undermining our democracy and endangering those of us who were at the Capitol that day.”

We all understand this but it's the media that needs to hear this and change course.

Watch how they cover Cruz and Paul. Cruz said he would support Texas leaving the Union but some how no asks about this when he is running for president?
