It would be more likely that the MSM would interview Biden haters.............

Do you remember all the MSM TV Networks had us watching every night Trumps nightly "Covid News" telecast for over an hour each and every night for months/?????????????? He would spend two minutes on telling us that the covid was a farce and would just go away, and the remaining time on his insane babbling about nothing to do with Covid. I viewed it for awhile and realized theat all the Network TV stations were just as complicit as FOX news and RW Radio in helping the Republican CABAL in their Republican propaganda and insane bullshit.......

Everyone keeps forgetting that 80+% of all the MSM in America is owned by wealthy Republicans.......

It would be incredible if they gave Biden an hour a night to talk. You know, a lot like FDR's fireside chats????????
IT WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS HAPPEN.......
#1 Reason is, that it would be too much like FDR, and he is the Republican's most HATED person ever. And the Republican MSM would never ever even think about giving the Democrats President an entire hour on Prime Time TV like they did for months on end with Trumps mindless banter......

i don't think i'd like the answer, but that's something i ponder frequently myself. get a focus group of Democrats for a change! fucking media - they've abandoned their function and caved to the propaganda.

and try to interview the people with the most tattoos, nose rings and turquoise hair.; then head for a rib joint in south Chicago and find some scary-looking black guys with do-rags and tear tattoos under their eyes; and finally visit a suburban yoga studio and talk to some skinny, botoxed middle-aged women wearing diamond tennis bracelets and drinking kale shakes. These, of course, are the stereotypical liberal Biden voters, who are made to seem either dangerous or silly. The interviews would, of course, focus on the importance of wokeness.

Whatever "freaks" they interview on Biden's behalf, they would immediately follow with a thorough servicing of "real" Americans who oppose Biden and his "radical leftist agenda."

But I do agree if they did cover Biden supporters, that is what their approach would be.

If TFG was re-elected and Republiscum took the House and held the Senate.

Now there would be a story.

I say 2 million dead by now. Maybe 3.

There aren't any interviews of "just folks" Democrats who turn out to be lobbyists or party operatives. That seems to be the sole province of Republicans.
