The ‘Fake News’ Just Keeps Reporting Fake News.

I’m beginning to believe that we aren’t running into a political catastrophe if Trump ends up back in the Oval Office in 2025. What I now believe is that no matter who wins the election, the political media will cease being anything other than a platform used to sell ointments, or clothing, or whatever else people are buying online.

I say this because the media has stopped trying to report anything at all about the 2024 campaign unless the story fits into a narrative which has been created to generate more clicks, or more visits, or however the owners of political media figure out how much to charge advertisers for the time and the space used for their ads.

Here’s the headline of a story from a financial website which specializes in political news: “More Democrats are flipping in a crucial swing state than Republicans.”

The story then tells us that in Pennsylvania, more than twice as many Democrats have switched their registration to the GOP than the number of Republican voters who now want to be registered as Democrats.

The author of this piece then tells us that in Pennsylvania, many voters are ‘abandoning’ the Democratic Party which can only be a problem for the Democrats who need this crucial, swing state.
