The media with their shallow reporting, helped elect trump by falsely saying that the e-mail
investigation was being reopened, 11 days before the 2016 election

That same pattern of shallow reporting was done against Richard Jewel

They now seem to be doing it with Hunter Biden. Very little substantial information, but reporting it as though he is already guilty

I guess that will shift the heat off of an active SC justice and his wife, and other issues

5. Did the media cause Democrats -- ticked their guy lost in primaries -- sit out 2016 election?

That's how trump won.

6. RWTP, dems did not "sit out" 2016 election Clinton was off less than 90k from Obama 2012 numbers.

Putrids Whore got more votes in red areas and help from the Russians ... that's MOSTLY it.

Stein also doubled 3rd party numbers relative to 2012, that was also a factor but doesn't mean all votes would've gone to Clinton

7. Yes

Yes they did. Or they voted 3rd party. Something they'd all like forgotten. 32,881.00 votes more and HC would have won Michigan (aprox 23K votes needed) and Wisconsin (aprox 10K votes needed) which would have won her the EC. Jill Sein got 130K in those 2 states and Johnson got 422K. So, let that sink in to the deniers.

11. Hillary was ahead in the polls by about four points until Comey said they were looking at Weiner's

computer for new information. The media immediately mischaracterized that as the email investigation was reopened, and allowed every right wing pundit to push that talking point.

That 4 point lead almost overnight was erased.

No doubt, certain parties pushed the third party alternative, and that there was "really no difference" between republicans and Democrats, along with the SC didn't really matter, but it was the emails misrepresentation that the investigation was reopened, that did it. At least the poll numbers seemed to indicate that cause and effect

12. We had a whole contigent of Bernie Sanders supporters leave DU just before 2016 election. And

I think there were a lot of those nationwide.

And, there were two Democratic Senators who continued to bask Obama and Clinton on trade right up to the election.

Comey hurt, but I will go to my grave believing Clinton would have won were it not for Democrats who abandoned her over a bunch of BS and anger for their preference losing primaries.

8. That is our main stream radical republican owned media.

Pukes labeled the media liberal for so long they all turned to the dark side. Cable talkers use all puke talking points all the time. FUGUM.

The nerve these people have to complain about "shallow reporting", when the media could have been reporting the Hunter story before the 2020 election.
