2024 Elections: One Last Chance for Democracy

You do realize there's a law that states TV stations have to accept political ads if bought, and they have to accept an equal amount on each side, if requested.

Of course I know that, but I think the "fairness" part of that went away a long time ago- which is how faux became something.

But my point is that the race is being called super close to make more people donate which gives more TV channels ad revenue. Regardless of what party is winning- the channels have a vested interest to keep it close and force both sides to spend money on ads. Hence the conflict of interest in reporting the news.

I think she's going to absolutely shun the papers of record and most of the mainstream channels. They've rat****ed her and Biden over and over and I'm sure she's not going to forget that.

Why go on a place that isn't going to be an honest broker? You don't!

I doubt that. I think she sees the game as it is, and they need to make as much money as they can, so they keep it close. Besides, she needs as much mainstream media to say good things about what she wants to do so that she can get it done.

But I'll bet that companies that lie about their finances will have some issues with the SEC that will need to address. We are supposed to be a nation of laws, afterall.

We used to be. We also used to have a 4th estate. I think the most important thing for any candidate right now for President is to reestablish both.

That would assume it was calculated (though it probably was).

They know they f-ed up, even the Dump campaign is trying to distance themselves (keyword trying).

Oh I think they knew exactly the things that clown would likely say and figured it wouldn't trigger this kind of backlash. If this hadn't been at MSG I wonder...

What they didn't calculate is how many Puerto Ricans are in the US. Same issue with Haitians.

Not surprising but infuriating nonetheless:

Broadcast news mostly ignored Kamala Harris’ proposal expanding Medicare to cover in-home health care for 15 million seniors

Harris' Medicare proposal was given just 35 seconds of combined airtime on ABC, CBS, and NBC news shows after two weeks
