Corporate media elite, particularly CNN and MSNBC, acted as enablers and protectors of the Biden campaign by blacklisting his opponents in order to protect his image.
Imagine if his opponents had been on the Sunday news shows, covered fairly as any FEC registered qualified (according to the Constitution) candidate had the right to be.
Imagine if media had not presumptuously considered themselves entitled to say who was “credible” and who is not. Imagine if the president had had to actually campaign and debate his opponents. Imagine if there had been a fair democratic primary process.
None of this would be happening now.
7/13/24 UPDATE: Earlier today Marianne Williamson appeared on both the Fox News network and Sky News Australia. Both appearances took place a few hours before the attempted assassination of former president (and presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election) Donald Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.
