Media Firemen Scramble to Save Biden Candidacy

From the "You should believe us, not your lying eyes", files: Media Firemen Scramble to Save Biden Candidacy

Watching the media scramble these last two weeks to save Joe Biden’s candidacy, I am reminded of a scene in Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian sci-fi classic, Fahrenheit 451, 451 degrees Fahrenheit being the temperature at which paper burns.

In the novel, the state employs “firemen” to burn paper lest the few civilians who care about books avail themselves of information the state does not want them to have. During the Biden stretch run, the firemen on the left have shredded what is left of their reputations as journalists to destroy information the Deep State does not want their audiences to have.

Even before Hunter Biden’s laptop surfaced, the media busied themselves suppressing information that was readily available to the ordinary citizen -- montages of Biden plagiarizing, groping little girls, making racially insensitive comments, eulogizing exalted KKK cyclops, threatening Ukrainian prosecutors, even sexually assaulting at least one very credible Democrat -- and they did so with enough success that the Biden camp felt comfortable positioning Joe as the candidate with “character.”

The Hunter laptop was too tangible to dispose of subtly. Not since Joseph Goebbels urged the German Student Union “to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past” has a western nation so flagrantly thrown in on the side of ignorance. Twitter has gotten most of the attention for its total blocking of the New York Post, which broke the laptop story, but the firemen at NPR were not far behind.

Had it not been for the final debate, the firemen might have succeeded in keeping major media audiences fully in the dark ...​

What I'm seeing is a massive turnout for Trump and hardly any support for Biden. Boats, cars and rallys. All flying Trump flags.

Attacking media is getting tiresome.. it has no merit anymore!

Apparently, nearly 100,000 people a day now at Trump rallies ... even in the age of COVID. That's simply never happened before in history. There were three rallies yesterday. Tens of thousands at each rally.

Anyone who doubts the size of the rallies should tune into RSB on Youtube, as their cameras show the crowds.

You should hope they have already voted. Many of them will be on life support come election day.

 

[Kentonio]

Yeah, I'm sure its the guy who is up by 11 points nationally and by wide margins in the critical states that needs to have his candidacy saved..

Biden supporters don't need rallies. They just vote and don't brag about it.

I never understood the need to have rallies, regattas, and convoys for a cadent. It strikes me as to authoritarian. To 1984.

The only time these people will think of 1984 is thinking that they're Winston Smith when Twitter stops them trying to convince other people that 2+2=5.

Which is missing the point of the book just a smidge

 

[Triumvirate]

The funny thing is, Trump has had so many worse scandals pop up that he and his worshippers either deflected from, ignored or stalled - that eventually, this strategy increasingly risks backfiring. Especially when there is far less evidence to justify concluding half the allegations made about Biden in the OP here, and there is still a backlog of allegations on Trump that still need to be investigated.

If you create an atmosphere where you expect people to just shrug off scandal for your man...don't be surprised when it comes back around to bite you in the bum, and that atmosphere starts benefitting someone else.

 

[The IbanezerScrooge]

It's like Biden could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he wouldn't lose any voters.

Amusingly, this is a key reason why Trump will probably lose.

(Because of the "even in the age of COVID part.)

 

[Albion]

It does look as thought Biden's handlers are really worried.

A few days ago it was widely reported that he was returning to his basement and wouldn't campaign anymore in public (probably in order to keep the gaffes under as much control as possible)...and then the next thing that's reported is that Joe's going to be speaking at a number of appearances here and there this final week of the campaign.

Ooh not "the handlers".

Scawy

 

[Albion]

If any presidential candidate in my lifetime needed handlers, it's this one. There's little doubt of that. What's more, the evidence has long been present. He only got the nomination in the first place by agreeing to do whatever the Sanders-AOC wing of the party told him he had to to do.

 

[Triumvirate]

I'm being unfair though, no one could ever accuse Trump of having handlers, unless it's to help him down a flight of stairs or handle a glass of water

Thanks v much I'll be here all week

You should really have a look at rose twitter sometime champ.

Why go to RWNJs for info on what the left thinks

 

[Triumvirate]

Right now, the DSA incompetents are currently more angry at the mainstream Dems for not stopping Barrett's nomination....somehow, as opposed to being more angry at the GOP for hypocritically forcing it through.

The idea that the wing of the party who constantly attacks the mainstream Dems more than they attack the GOP actually like Biden and are HiS hAnDlErS is so laughably silly I don't know where to begin. Get out of the Fox News bubble

Maybe the rest of the nation are more interested in such things as policies and the like than they are in getting involved in some sort of weird personality cult gatherings.

 

[Triumvirate]

Besides I forget - wasn't it a few months ago (and a repeat of a silly line from a few years ago too), the Dem mainstream was so powerful it allegedly rigged the nomination against the Sanders wing.

Now the Sanders wing is ThE hAnDlErS....somehow.

Could we pick a conspiracy theory and stick to it, please

Although this is highly amusing, so do keep capering if you insist

The Biden=socialist talking point is smart, probably the best angle to try. But its obviously false. Everyone knows that.
