The “press” used to alternate the blue and red between the incumbents and the challengers.
After the 1980 election, where Reagan turned the nation “red”, the press decided that it was a “most opportune moment” to stop the alternation of colours and permanently assign the COMMUNIST colour to the Republicans, and assign blue to the demonrats.
Yet another example of the subtle manipulation of the American voter.
It’s FAR worse up here, but then again, we’re a sanctuary for your leftist scum. Just ask them.
My apologies, it was the 1984 election.
Yes, the television networks used to alternate colors. Then they ALL switched to Republican red and Democrat blue. ALL of them. At the SAME time. With the change in the SAME direction. Funny how the hive operates. But we're not supposed to accuse them of collusion.

It also helped the MSM to exacerbate the divisions in the country. You can’t foment hatred unless you permanently label your “enemy”.
