The idea that contraception is "a tough vote" for anyone just goes to show how screwed up and backwards the Republicans are. They claimed that abortion was harming another human. What's their claim about birth control?[/quote]

Doesn’t mean anything. The “mainstream” media can and will propagandize anything in service to the GOP getting back in power. Watch for it. [/quote]

I really haven’t seen much of anything in the media.  They’re just ignoring it all.  Better to breathlessly cover what a bunch of kids are doing. [/quote]

Birth control is what, more than any one thing, made it possible for women to choose their life’s course. Its value to the lives of just about every adult in America cannot be overstated.

And they’re keeping quiet. [/quote]

They can choose to never cover it at all and it will be still be a huge and motivating election issue.  Millions of voters understand exactly how critical this is and are going to the polls and dragging every voting family member and voter they can rustle up along with them to shut this GOP nonsense down.[/quote]
In a country where, according to the polls, a majority think we’re in a recession and that’s Biden’s fault and a good chunk think the fall of Roe is Biden’s fault, and a country in which millions keep thinking that the GOP isn’t that bad and won’t do some terrible thing (get Roe overturned, re-nominate a man charged with umpteen serious charges), I’m not secure in that.

I think the media is covering everything in a such a way as to pave the way for a GOP win. Now they have been doing this, more or less, for years and to a reduced effect (see the predicted “red wave” that got carried back out to sea, never to be seen again) but I’m a little anxious that we’ll be yellow journalism-ed into fascism.[/quote]

Media has an agenda.

Millions of people are ignorant AF. [/quote]
The billionaire and corporate owners of the major media outlets indeed have a vested interest in getting the GOP back in to power. [/quote]

This.  The idea that we have this liberal mainstream media is a fallacy and has been for some time.  No matter what might be going right, they will cover Biden in a negative light.  The media is owned by people who believe they can benefit from Trump and don't care what a nightmare Trump will really be for this country.[/quote]

They will care when they get blacklisted for reporting incorrectly. But it’ll be too late then   [/quote]
