Is it me or I'm I wrong thinking the media is trying to make

[bigdarryl]

Like the Democrstic Party Convention is going to be a total disaster.They seem to me like there trying to whip up trouble makers just so they can have ratings.I live in NJ next door and.I'm not seeing anything on the local news.out of Philly about MASSIVE DISRUPTIONS!!! As the media would have you believe.

1. I think they will be dissapointed

[Dream Girl]

[JoePhilly]

5. The media will spin the lack of massive disruptions

as a lack of enthusiasm among Ds, especially among the Sanders folks.

6. I heard that after a day of....

.... CNN's trying to rev up the DNC flap a Sanders supporter came on and did a good job of putting things in perspective... Said it was most important to beat fascist Trump. Said they were satisfied that Donna Brazille (sp?) would be fair, etc.

Does anyone know who that was? Are there videos anywhere?

7. It is pretty well known in political circles that

The Media wants (actually, insists) that the presidential election be a close horse race. The polls are content free these days, because if they had content, they would give away the fact that (this time around) Clinton has an easy win. What you're observing is their effort to downplay what a miserable failure the Republican Convention was and make it seem that the DNC is the one with the problem.

10. The media will do what they can to make the race close, but the leaked emails are a

problem.

8. It's you...

and/or the 'media' you're following.

[The Second Stone]

9. Television journalism is all but dead and the new wave

creates drama. Trump actually gets this.

Does PBS still do a decent News Hour?

11. We were told there would be massive disruptions in the streets around the RNC. . .

and all we saw was a clusterph@*k inside the Arena itself.

The police and EMTs spent their days lazing around, waiting for it to be over.

Could be a similar scenario set up for Philly.

12. The Demonstrations are on YouTube

13. You are right, bro.
