Could it be that Kamala Harris is leaving Trump in the dust, while the national media stubbornly sticks to the safer narrative that it’s a horserace going down to the wire? presswatchers.org/2024/09/what...

What if Kamala Harris is leaving Trump in the dust, while the media stubbornly sticks to the safer narrative that it’s a horserace going down to the wire?

TBH--I'd prefer being nervous to complacent, and wrong.

Maybe? But: Never underestimate the prevalence of misogyny and racism.

The churn is profitable for the media … the truth and logic not so much. When in doubt, worship mammon.

I'm OK with us being surprised to the upside because they are.

National media is following their business model - do whatever it takes to make as much money for the owners as possible. If they ever figure out they'll make more money by printing the truth, they'll change their business model.

That is exactly what I think too! I hope this will be a landslide victory for Kamala. Media interest is to report a close race to keep viewers watching.

Trump will try and steal it by making it impossible to vote or impossible to count, or somehow getting it to the Supreme Court. Are they doing enough to stop him doing that?
