Trump is banking on his secret affair with mainstream media to defeat Kamala Harris

MSM will do their best

Why did the media hold Hillary Clinton to one standard in 2016 and apply the exact opposite to Donald Trump in 2024?

In 2016, FBI Director James Comey’s announcement about reopening the investigation into Clinton’s private email server marked a turning point in the election. Though Comey merely stated the investigation was being reopened, the mainstream media amplified the story, ensuring it reached every corner of the nation.

They didn’t just report the facts; they magnified the narrative, stirring speculation and insinuations that reverberated across the country. Rather than subtle whispers, the media orchestrated a collective, alarmed response — fueling a shift in public perception and, ultimately, benefiting Trump’s campaign.

It was enough to lift Trump in the Midwest and Pennsylvania. Using the same yardstick they invented in 2016, Jack Smith’s revelations should have been front and center, dominating the national conversation.

But naaa, that isn’t the case.
