Trump is changing the discussion - PBS NewsHour Politics Monday

[question everything]

Tamara Keith:

Yes.

We are, however, on President Trump's ground right now. This whole conversation is President Trump's ground.

Judy Woodruff:

Right. Yes. it was the pandemic, and now we're talking about the protests.

1. In one week it will be back to COVID as Trump loyalists test positive from Trumps events and rallies

Biden is already challenging Trump to renounce all violence, something Trump will have a hard time doing now that Trump's gun toting flag waving loyalist thugs have been activated and released.

[cry baby]

2. Exactly right. It's the latest distraction.

It’s now the dog whistle “be afraid of angry black people coming to your town” and it has been a very effective distraction.

The media is glad to cover something other than the pandemic. They don’t even show the peaceful protests anymore, always standing in front of a store that has broken windows or a place where there was a fire.

4. Funny thing is

It’s angry white people who seem to be doing the riots

[cry baby]

7. It sure is happening that way. There's a lot of them that covertly destroy things,

set fires, etc so that the protest will be labeled a riot.

3. So the media is admitting that they suck

And have a short attention span

5. Ha!! Right in the eye with that one!!

[crickets]

11. "This whole conversation is President Trump's ground."

They're admitting they are stenographers and parrots rather than journalists, yes.

9. Politics Monday drives me crazy

I had to stop watching.

They frame everything in a pre-2016 manner. It's all normal, all about the horse race, all about who's up or down at the current moment.

Never anything about the clusterfck that is the Trump administration.

[question everything]

10. And yet he is up in the recent 538 poll

A separate thread here

[mcar]

12. Not that I saw

One outlier poll showed Dotard close to Biden.

I'm really trying to not pay attention to polls because 1 outlier like that frames a narrative. It's all about GOTV.
