Read all!-----The Thunderdome Debate - John Kass

The Thunderdome Debate - John Kass
...there is one thing that Republicans should keep in mind before Tuesday’s debate.
  • She’ll go for the face and for the throat. 
  • The media will support and shield her. 
  • They’ll cheer her name and recast her as Obama 2.0....
For example, a study by the conservative Media Research Center found that starting July 21, 
  • news coverage of Kamala Harris was 84 percent positive. 
  • Coverage of Donald Trump was 89 percent negative.
And just the other day, as that Georgia 14-year-old allegedly shot and killed classmates and teachers, the media rushed in to put their feet on the scales. 
The Associated Press went out of its way to mislead the public by using a select snippet of a quote by Trump’s vice presidential nominee, conservative Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.
  • “If these psychos are going to go after our kids we’ve got to be prepared for it,” Vance said. “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it. I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” Vance said. “But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security so if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children they’re not able.”
  • That’s not how the Associated Press characterized Vance’s remarks. AP used only a bit of Vance’s quote to distort what he said: “JD Vance says school shootings are a ‘fact of life,’ calls for better security,” the AP’s original post on X said.
But that’s not what Vance said. 
He didn’t just shrug off the tragedy and murder in Georgia. 
That was what the AP wanted him to say. 
It was a lie. 
The AP printed the lie...
