Scarborough: the Press Will Embrace “a Lot of these Candidates on the Far Left”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/29/2018 4:18:48 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Today brings a rare but welcome recognition of reality by Joe Scarborough. On Morning Joe, Scarborough said:

“The Democratic party’s darting left . . . And I think you’re going to see the press embracing a lot of these candidates on the far left.”

Joe being Joe, he had to balance that with a shot at the president, adding, “you’re going to have Donald Trump race-baiting all the way to the fall.”

Scarborough’s right for once: MSM will embrace far-left Dem candidates. Prime example will be FL gov race, where press will play up Andrew Gillum’s life story and downplay his radical positions, like supporting ICE abolition, and fact that he is funded by George Soros.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

We don’t have a free press. We have corporate media.

It's a damned shame there are people with abject ignorance of something called "crony capitalism"...

Crony capitalist par excellence:

Is the press driving this or just following the Dems’ natural progression? The ultimate chicken-and-egg question.
