The Washington Post Admits Dem Field Can’t Beat Trump And They Want You Know Who

[j-mac]

This thread is another great example of how the alternate universe operates.

The winger website called "Red Right Daily" (one of a growing list of faux news sites) links to a Washington Post article that reports on some in the Democratic Party who have concerns about their slate of candidates. The "Red Right Daily" headline says that the Washington Post "admits" that no one in the current Dem field can beat Trump.

First, nowhere in the Post article does it "admit" that. Second, the piece reports concerns, not anyone saying that they can't beat Trump. So the headline is a demonstrable lie. But the OP dutifully links to it as if it were a fact, and uses the "Red Right Daily" as a "news" source. Then, all the other Trumpsters jump in too.

This is just one of many daily examples here. While it's kind of amusing, it points to a real problem: Facts, opinion, rumor, conspiracy, assumption, projection, hyperbole and extrapolation have all become blurred in the Trumpiverse. These people literally believe this stuff as "fact", and they cannot be talked out it.

One of the primary drivers of our increasing division is the fact that this portion of our population is literally existing within its own separate fact and information reality. It began with talk radio but has simply exploded with the internet. That's difficult to fix.

The Internet turned wingers into merchants of propaganda.

So, did the post article get it wrong?

No, the Post article is fine.

It's the intellectually dishonest Trumpiverse interpretation of the article that is wrong.

Ok, how so....Can you articulate?

Well, mainstream 'news' we see on this board is all editorial. Opinion. Right and wrong don't really apply, but the headline and article from the right wing site is pure spin and does get stuff wrong. It is also an opinion piece, commenting on another opinion piece. This is what passes as 'news' these days for extremists.

Oh, I see, you think it is only those that disagree with your take on things that just are so stupid as to eat this up as hard news? But, your own opinions are formed daily on the likes of CNN, and MSNBC?

Really?

You always know that anything the WaPo writes is geared toward impeaching Trump or hurting his re election chances. They're just dishonest. Fake news.

The left is starting to get very nervous and some in the media are trying to sound the alarm. On Tuesday night Annie Linskey and Matt Viser of the Washington Post published an article that they are worried about the current Democrat field.

Linskey and Viser cited that after 15 hours of debates and 10 months of campaigning the only emotion party leaders are feeling is “anxiety.”

“You can imagine much stronger candidates,” said Elaine Kamarck, a Democratic National Committee member. She pines for Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who declined to run, or an outsider like retired admiral William McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

The Washington Post Admits Dem Field Can’t Beat Trump And They Want You Know Who – Red Right Daily

How about that Howdy Doody character that run for VP in 2016 under Mrs. Clinton? Doody is still in the Senate, no?

He seems pretty impressive to me.

I already did, in the first post quoted in your post. I made it as simple as I could.

Seeing as it happens here on a daily basis, you betcha.

But, your own opinions are formed daily on the likes of CNN, and MSNBC?

Nope. I don't watch fake ass TeeVee news.
