Thanks as usual. Interesting to see how the various media edited the Fetterman-Oz video. Makes me wonder if I missed the obvious bias when I was younger, or if it is a new phenomenon. No wonder most people don't trust the media. To be honest the only news sources I use are Matt Taibbi, Krystal & Saagar and yours. Thanks again. See you by the fire.

The press has never been particularly honest. They've always tilted left... Trump broke them, though. After he was elected in 2016, they dropped the old tactics of just downplaying bad facts for their side and playing up good facts. After 2016, they started openly lying, colluding directly with the DNC in a bigger way than before, and simply ignoring anything that didn't fit their narrative.

White guy commits a crime? Wall to wall coverage. Black mows down a 4th of July parade? It was an SUV and then they didn't cover it at all. Dem Congressman gets caught lying about Trump evidence in the Russia thing? Just move on to the next thing. Some crazy lady says she knew Brett Kavanaugh? Throw her on TV.

Then came Covid... and they just flat lied about everything. They didn't ask a single honest question or look for any counter narrative fact anywhere in the entire pandemic. The American people have seen it now... and you can't put that genie back in the bottle.

Fetterman is just the latest example of that. I mean... you're to tell me nobody at the NYT wants to break the "Biden was in on his son's overseas business dealings" story? That would be Watergate level stuff... way bigger than anything they ever got Trump on... and crickets.

But whatcha gonna do?

Just to follow up on that... It's no wonder people don't trust the press. According to the "fact checkers" at Newsweek, the 2020 Antifa riots were peaceful and only lasted a couple of months and also there's no such thing as Antifa. LOL. Good to know.

I am struggling with overconfidence about the election. It should be a blowout, but I’ve seen some things, man…

In other news, I absolutely cannot believe that before last night, John Fetterwoman was *leading* in PA, according to the polls.

I also don't want to be overconfident, but the numbers are the numbers. The polling is counting on Dems taking states that Biden took by under a point while running against Trump during Covid. Given how things have gone since November of 2020, there is no reason to believe that November 2022 will be more kind to the Dems than 2020.

The fact is that there's no way to cheat it at this point. People are already voting in some places and party affiliation is showing over-performance by the GOP. If the results somehow swing radically... it will be evidence of shenanigans. Even if Russia nuked Ukraine... I don't think it would change the outcome.
