It is looking bad for Killary.
It’s still early, and Trump is just one scandal away from losing. I’d say they are both one scandal away from losing, but with the MSM completely in Hillary’s pocket, that isn’t exactly the case.
Is MSM Main Stream Media?
I think we’ve had a near bifurcation of the media by now into nearly two halves. ABC and CBS news was actually showing more Trump info than Hillary as of late, NBC completely blocked out Sanders late in his run while he was doing the turn around, Fox followed Hillary only in the negative… Hillary doesn’t have as much media coverage. You gotta look at the BBC to find a staunch Hillary Clinton bastion… it is suicidally leftist, more so than even NBC.
Radio is very challenging of Hillary too.
Back when Obama first ran, you could make a stand that the Democrats controlled everything but Radio and FoxNews. Obama did a lot to destroy this monopoly… people absolutely hated him, and there has been increased demand for alternative outlets.
CNN seems more obsessed with perpetuating black seperatism and racial anger than actual American politics this election cycle, so aren’t as reliable to the Democrats as they have been in the past. Blacks have always been aware there have been two Democratic parties, one black, and one white… one wrong move can send them into protest votes (or witholding votes) against Hillary’s interests.
I doubt we can be in much of a position to even talk about the main stream media by the time of the next election 4/8 years from now. Yes, we still have that suicidal extreme leftist core to the newsrooms of some of the major traditional news services, but they aren’t so much being weeded out as drowned out by newer interests. Tea Party, for example, drowns out the old Conservatives on the right… trumps movement is only getting started, causing a three way polity.
On the left, they have old Marxist and Nazis, social-fascist progressives, Black Panthers, Weather Underground and Jimmy Carter Democrats… doesn’t get along any better, yet they tend to come together and compromise… but will their news feeds be any more unified than the news feeds that underline Republicans? Doubtful. They only get together at election time, just like the Arians and Catholics only teamed up together when facing the Huns, and the rest of the time we’re trying to kill one another.
Saving the dolphins has as much to do with socialism as anti-abortion has with lowering taxes… it is inevitable given technology today micro movements will increasingly gain their own media, and that media will become increasingly competitive. What will the political coalitions of the future look like with such a diverse media?
We have Obama to thank for this. If he didn’t do such a good job at breaking everyone’s trust, the old media megoliths would of managed to hold their ground. Everyone is fleeing from them. How many people can take old partisan formulas like Mr. Reasonable’s Anti-Fox news stance as reasonable anymore? Half the country now watches or listens to a equivalent of Fox News now, and they have equal if not better media ethics standards. Not saying that standard is Hugh to begin with, but it us much higher than say, what I see in Europe or China. India seems fond of saying whatever the fuck pops into their crazy heads, they may damn well have the .most free and diverse media out there, just not sure the reach is all that far. You gotta compare diversity and originality of ideas with the ability of the fourth estate to get out those ideas in uniformed packages for everyone to digest and debate… hard to fun a federal system of government if each region holds very different views, and don’t really get what everyone else is jabbering about. Partisan politics get this uniform message out, but it often is incorrect and demonized in the attempt. How many people for example, in San Francisco, really know the ins and outs of the Republican platform? How many in Texas grasp what they are doing in the fringes if the Democratic Party? They only understand one another in the negative. Easy to overlook the commonality. But we aren’t so distant so as not to have party members in each state caucaus together on the national level for each party. We really don’t have 20-30 little bitch regional parties infighting in Congress, yet. Hard to see how that would work in a presidential system in electing a president.
It’s a war of attrition.
Hillary’s supporters must grow tired of Hillary talking about Trump, grow tired of Hillary doing that, sooner than Trump loses his energy with his voters. He must remain new.
Or in other words he must continue to attack successfully and Hillary must be kept in a state of reactive moral outrage.
He must remain a winner and she must remain a loser. So no apologies and no backtracking.
