"Democrats in South Carolina may have over eight months to decide whom to vote for in 2020, but for now, theres one thing that unites them: they think the media is relentlessly bullying Joe Biden.
Propagandas going to always be around, said Columbia resident Rev. Thurmond Guess, Sr. If you give the devil a ride, he will drive.
Guess Sr. was describing a sentiment thats become increasingly common among the electorate here: at the very least, voters say, the political press is over-hyping Bidens remarks this week, where he recalled working with prominent segregationists to get things done in the Senate. In interviews with nearly a dozen voters over two days, undecided and ardent supporters described a dizzying cycle where cable news buzz and print media headlines are sensationalizing the former vice presidents comments.
Theyre looking at any little thing to get the candidates to turn on each other, said Elizabeth White, a Biden supporter from Aiken. Any kind of headline to grab attention, theyre going to blow it up.
Theres too many news channels and theyve got to have something to talk about, added Geraldine Mogan, an undecided voter. They make too big of it.
