CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 6, 2024
NO SURPRISE – LIZ CHENEY, WHO LOST HER RE-ELECTION BID IN WYOMING AND WAS ONE OF TWO ANTI-TRUMP REPUBLICANS ON THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE, HAS ENDORSED KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT.
THIS IS HOW THE POLITICAL GAME IS PLAYED. AS AN ELECTION NEARS, THE MEDIA PROMOTE CANDIDATES AND STORIES THAT ARE ANTI-REPUBLICAN AND IGNORE VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THAT MAKE DEMOCRATS LOOK BAD. THAT’S NOT AN OPINION. IT’S A FACT.
SINCE MOST REPORTERS AND ANCHORS ARE DEMOCRATS, THEY SLANT STORIES TO FIT THEIR WORLDVIEW, HOPING THAT WILL SHAPE YOUR VIEWS AND PRODUCE THEIR DESIRED OUTCOME.
THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW STORIES ABOUT HARRIS NOT HOLDING A NEWS CONFERENCE, BUT NO REAL PRESSURE FOR HER TO DO SO. THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT HER LEADING IN THE POLLS, BUT NOTHING ABOUT HER VIEWS, EXCEPT ABORTION ON DEMAND AND HIGHER TAXES.
SHE’S A STEALTH CANDIDATE WITH NO ONE ABLE TO SAY WHAT SHE BELIEVES, BECAUSE SHE WON’T SAY AND KEEPS FLIPPING ON WHAT SHE CLAIMS SHE USED TO BELIEVE.
I’M FROM AN ERA IN JOURNALISM THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE TOLERATED THIS. NOT KNOWING WHAT A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BELIEVES AND RUNNING ON “JOY” IS A COVER-UP FOR THINGS THAT COULD HARM THE ECONOMY AND OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
