The Democrats’ Undeserving and Uncivil Campaign

Conrad Black

Joe Biden’s party doesn’t deserve to win with such nasty media support, a campaign so dishonest, such an extreme platform, and such mediocre candidates.

. . . "This problem is compounded by the grossly unprofessional bigotry of 90 percent of the national political media. The New York Times apologized for failing to inform its readers of the rise of the Trump phenomenon shortly after the 2016 election. They have since declared as a matter of policy that they are not so much engaged in presidential reporting as in opposing this president, and the principal token dissenter from that position at the Times, Bari Weiss, resigned in July, disillusioned by the farcical tokenism of her position.

 "In the last few weeks, we’ve seen numerous examples of the naked bias of the television media. CNN’s Don Lemon urged Democrats to oppose the rioting rather than continue to ignore it, because the polls were turning against his network’s favored party on the issue. The same network’s Jake Tapper has been giving partisan tactical advice to Pennsylvania Democratic congressional candidates. Recordings of the same network’s Christopher Cuomo have been released in which Cuomo carefully coached convicted former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen on how to present his pre-discredited allegations of wrongdoing against his former client in the now very tired folkloric tale of Stormy Daniels. 

"No one wants political campaigns to be bland, and in this election there are clear and important policy choices. But even Democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders acknowledges that the president is gaining ground because all the Biden campaign is doing is slagging off Trump, and so are 90 percent of the national political media. The normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and between Israel and Bahrain, and especially Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, have been almost completely ignored by the media. " . . .  

The Biden Slime Operation

"This is the Democratic canon: malicious lies supported by stupid lies and disseminated to the world by the morally bankrupt, reflexively partisan Trump-hating media."

"Purity of Arms"; When it comes to war, Israel answers to something higher than world opinion

 "Because I cannot believe that Israel is stupid enough to sacrifice herself for a world that despises her, I’ve got a different theory...
