So they tried to rig the event, and when they couldn't cheat they tried to say the event was rigged. Typical.

Then the media seems to only run the part about Trump getting booed but leaves out his sketchy behavior. Then they run stories about Biden getting chilly receptions at black colleges and constantly bring up how much worse Biden is doing with black voters. Leaving out Trump's sketchy behavior allows the viewer to draw the conclusion that both candidates are equivalent, and there is not clear distinction that makes one a better choice than the other.

So where is this liberal media I keep hearing about?

It doesn't exist.

I know this, and you know this, but unfortunately the narrative for most people is that there is some sort of leftist media.

Usually when someone tries to claim "liberal media, like MSNBC", I point out the hours long morning show hosted by a Republican former Congressman that is on when I get my kids ready for school, the bothsiderism people on all day, followed by the Republican former White House staffer that worked for George Bush and McCain whose on when I am getting dinner ready.

It doesn't matter to them. There is no logic involved to get where they are and logic won't break their brainwashing. You could point to some preacher demanding that we eliminate taxes and murder women for having pre-marital sex and abortions and they would just call him a liberal leftist RINO if he wasn't saying it while sucking Trump's short finger.

Neocons succeeded in doing to the left what Trump just failed to do to the libertarians
