In reply to the discussion: The Democrats are going to own the news cycle from now to the midterm elections. [View all]radius777
(3,635 posts)58. MSNBC is liberal leaning but cannot become a leftwing FOX
which simply presents a false reality to its viewers. Having an editorial slant is fine as long as it is tethered to journalistic integrity.
The fact is Biden's poll numbers are very low, for a variety of reasons some under his control some not.
Nicolle Wallace was talking about this on her show the other day, how some viewers get upset about her critique of the Biden Admin and Merrick Garland etc. But the coalition of voters (ie, 'the Resistance') that put Biden in the Whitehouse is in fact disappointed about how things are going and simply voices that frustration on shows like hers, which include on her panels everyone from former Repubs to moderates to progressives.

I disagree. SCOTUS and the Senate because of the filibuster aren't controlled by Democrats.

But the point is that most people won't be searching for it on social media or elsewhere.

That's wrong thinking. Most people? One would argue that point considering the drop in viewership
