Fetterman debate fiasco proves journalists ‘lied’ to cement Democratic power in the Senate: JNS column
Fox News ^ | October 29, 2022 | Gabriel Hays

Posted on 10/29/2022 11:50:13 AM PDT by conservative98

Jewish News Syndicate editor-in-chief and National Review contributing writer Jonathan Tobin claimed that journalists who pushed the narrative that Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman was completely healthy to run for office "lied" in order to ensure that Democrats "maintain control of the Senate."

In his column for The Jewish News Syndicate, Tobin declared that these "team blue journalists" "were prepared to cover up or falsify the facts about his health in order to advance his candidacy."

Tobin’s piece, titled, "The painful truth about media bias: Some journalists lie," began with the observation that the debate between Fetterman and his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, was the "most bizarre such encounter in living memory."

Tobin said that Fetterman, who is still suffering lingering side effects from his stroke in May, "was clearly incapable of understanding many of the questions or articulating a coherent response. This was in spite of the fact that he was aided by a closed-captioning system."

The author then went after the journalists defending Fetterman, though not so much the ones spinning his debate performance as "acceptable," but the "number of prominent liberal reporters" who "interviewed Fetterman in the months since his stroke and then assured the public that he was fine."

He pointed specifically to The Atlantic and Vogue contributor Molly Jong-Fast, New York Magazine’s Rebecca Traister and Kara Swisher of Vox and New York Magazine, as among those who trashed Burns in defense of Fetterman.

The columnist described their motives for doing so: "The same goes for all those who seconded their objections to Burns’s reporting. They want the Democrats to maintain control of the Senate. This means Fetterman must win. They were prepared to cover up or falsify the facts about his health in order to advance his candidacy."

It looks like his transition isn’t “taking.”

They are going to great lengths to gas light voters. Guilt tripping, using discrimination allegations, anything they can throw at this situation to keep viewers from believing their own eyes and gut.

... and she’d do it again, because she isn’t a journalist.

Fetterman’s campaign ads are cut & paste jobs. Can’t go by those.

WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE "COLLECTING SS" AND TOO MANY ILLEGALS NOT PROVIDING FICA TO SUPPORT MEDICARE AND SS.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S A DONE DEAL . . . AND THE DEMS HAVE ALREADY STARTED SCARING THE ELECTORATE

THEY ARE ALREADY SAYING THAT THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SS AND MEDICARE.

The clip is Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) slams Democratic economic policies and challenges them to admit their mistakes and make it right.

Sorry . . . you can no longer afford the luxury of not being bothered by a one hour clip

"Then there was the Oz is never going to be able to beat Fetterman in a debate"

This was just crazy to begin with ( and there are some Freepers in this thread and prior Oz threads, who insisted Oz was gonna fold, and wrote him off in September *spit* ).

The man is a doctor and had a daily show for 13 freaking years, which means he is more than comfortable in front of a camera handling questions.

The democratic party leadership imposed fraud upon the Democrat voters. Same M.O. used to elect Biden.

Why not? It worked with Biden.

Of course they would - the 'press' covered for Paul Pelosi's drunk driving accident too. They lie easily because in the minds of the corrupt press 'the ends justify the means'. What does that mean? It means they're totalitarians and thugs.

When your 'god' is politics, or any political party, than yeah, anything goes.
Those who continue to worship false idols on this side of the grave will reap the bitter harvest in eternity. I.e., it is not worth it.

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

They lied just claiming he's "democratic".
