    I also wish the Dems would promote more progressive policies. At the same time, the media does not celebrate the wins for Dems, such as the creation of the CFPB that Elizabeth Warren established. They don’t celebrate the response to oligopoly through review of mergers and acquisitions by the FTC under Lina Kahn. They don’t celebrate the reduced child poverty rate under the expanded child tax credit. Positive progress doesn’t make it to mass media even when it does happen, which isn’t often enough.

      By the same token, they report everything trump says…

      The report everything Vance says, but also Biden and Kamala too.

      If Biden and Kamala talked about those things, then the media would too.

      Kamala just went on an interview blitz, I watched some of it, didn’t see her being up anything you mentioned. Did she in any of the recent interviews you e seen?

      She was just on Colbert, he’d have let her say anything she wanted to…

      Do you remember what she choose to discuss?

      Edit:

      Walz just talked about ending the Electoral college, and the media reported on it.

      But they also reported on Kamala distancing herself from it.

      That’s an example from like today of what I’m talking about. All it takes for the media to report on something is a high ranking politician saying it. There’s so many and so desperate for ad revenue they will cover anything that comes out of someone’s mouth if they’re on the presidential ticket.
