Don't be too surprised if this week you see much of the mainstream media rudely cut into the middle of speeches (especially by President Trump) in order to "fact check" as Brian Stelter calls it. Of course, for Stelter and the mainstream media "fact check" really means "liberal talking points." You can expect these fact checks to be especially frequent and lengthy when the convention speakers are making hard-hitting but accurate points about the Democrats.
“Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham and Breem would raise Holy Hell if FOX did that!”
And then what?
Faux seems to be trying harder for our domestic enemies than they did four years ago.
This is not your job PravdABDNC.
I fully expect that if Biden debates Trump (and thats a big if), the way Joe will get through it is by the liberal media moderator jumping in to debate Trump on Joes behalf. Theyve done that in some cases in the past, but I foresee them becoming full surrogates for Slow Joe in this case, likely under the guise of fact checking.
My recollection of past Republican conventions is that the MSM anchors engage in a lot of chatter while a speaker is giving his or her speech so that the viewers can’t hear the speech. C-SPAN probably will let you hear the whole speech, unless they decide that the RNC is not newsworthy enough and show speeches from the 1976 conventions instead...or run an interview with the author of the latest book on white racism.
give the media the special uecker seats...behind plexi-glass...
President: “Let’s not forget about Ukraine —”
Media Hotshot #1: “Dave, Dave, Dave — fact check moment. You were with the president earlier this afternoon. Did he mention to you that he would be wearing a blue suit?”
Media Hotshot #2: “He did Steve.”
Media Hotshot #1: “Dave, I have to observe, that this suit that he’s wearing isn’t what I would call blue. Navy, perhaps. But not blue. Not Prussian Blue, or French Blue. Mary, you’re our fashion expert, can you step in? What do you think of the president’s clothing tonight as he delivers this speech? Can you walk us through his clothing choices this year, and do you think he’s been truthful in his descriptions of his color choices?”

That’s just silly... yet totally believable with the MSM.
Let them do it. It will make a great campaign ad.

I told my husband a week or more ago, that EVERY SPEAKER for the GOP side, is going to have to be 100% accurate with any data cited.
If someone says 9%, but the reality is 8.99%, the MSM will use that as a chance to say they are quoting unproven data and/or outright lying.
IT WILL HAPPEN.
Fox would probably listen to them. If they, Tucker and the rest would walk to lets say to OAN FOX would collapse and FOX knows it.
I am watching Trump speaking now, on youtube Right Side Broadcasting Network.
Simple solution: Dont watch CNN.
Since the unwashed have been conditioned to watching CNN and MSNBC, this is a big issue for them. They havent figured out that there are still some alternatives available to them at the touch of a button or mouse click.
