Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on MSNBC this weekend and claimed that Democrats are having problems because the media isn’t doing enough to carry their message to the people.
Yeah, right. Everyone knows that the media is famously in the tank for the Republican Party. Amazingly, this story is even real.
Newsmax reports:
Rep. Clyburn Blames Media for Democrats’ Dropping RatingsThe media is to blame for the Democratic Party’s dropping approval ratings because reporters won’t share its messaging, according to Rep. James Clyburn.”I think the message from the Democratic Party is a good one,” the South Carolina Democrat told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, reports The Hill on Saturday. “The problem we’ve got, I’ll say, is that we have to depend on the media to deliver it.”Clyburn’s comments came after a question from Velshi, host of “The Last Word,” who on Friday told the lawmaker that the perception of a lack of messaging from the party is leading voters to lose faith, particularly after the losses in the 2024 election.The congressman, said The Washington Post is a good example of the messaging issue, pointing to the relationship between its owner, Jeff Bezos, and President Donald Trump.”We have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn said.Polls are showing dropping approval ratings for the Democratic Party.
Ah, yes, the notoriously right-wing Washington Post. Always siding with Republicans. In the clip below, Clyburn goes out of his way to praise MSNBC and host Ali Velshi. He thinks they’re doing a great job. Watch:
The reality of the situation is the exact opposite of everything Clyburn says in that clip. The media has always leaned left, but since 2016, they have become virtually indistinguishable from the Democrat party. They’re like the party’s public relations arm.
FOX News has some pro-Trump voices, and CNN has one in Scott Jennings, while MSNBC and the major networks have none.
For Clyburn to blame the media for his party’s problems is beyond laughable.
