The mistake the media is making is covering RFK Jr. at all. Would have figured they’d learned their lesson with Trump. The media is as much to blame as any other entity for the US’s lurch to the right because they waste their time covering it.
They did learn their lesson from Trump. Articles about crazy candidates brings more site traffic.
You are absolutely right.
The media at the end of the day care about ratings and clicks. RFK gives that to them unfortunately as it does with Trump.
The only reason he's getting coverage or any attendees at his events is because he's a Kennedy. If he didn't have that last name he'd be just yet another fringe candidate giving talks to fifteen people at a time at fire companies and senior centers.
💯
Maybe it's because he's an alt righter campaigning as a Democrat.
He's already at the "the media is unfair to me" stage. That was quick.
Also, the last paragraph is hilarious.
a longtime vaccine skeptic
Anti-vaxxer. Don't play into their hands and use their language.
He's a Democrat!? On what planet?
If you don't want to be criticized for saying stupid, untrue things, stop saying stupid, untrue things. It's pretty simple.
Gee, I wonder why the media would hit a spoiler candidate like RFK Jr harder than someone who is entangled in multiple trials? Maybe he will realize he has no shot and just go away but I doubt that.
Either he's a complete and utter moron, or he's being bankrolled by people who have made promises to him for trying to hurt the democrats. Either way, don't see him quitting at a rational time.
So you actually both suck, neither of you care ambit American democracy or basic, decent good and neither of you should be in the national conversation, period (and one of you should obviously be in jail and disqualified from attempting to run for any political office after inciting an insurrection).
You're not serious people people and there's a high likelihood that you're both mentally ill. Fuck.Off.
The news media gave Trump one free pass after another, so in many ways, RFK Jr is right.
But he's still a fucken clown and his presidential run is purposefully done as a disruption to Biden and managed by conservative interests. He's trying to be a spoiler candidate that siphons just enough votes away from Biden to get Trump elected.
So fuck everything about the guy, but when he says the media is harder on him than Trump, he's right by a technicality simply because the media gave Trump the easiest time what with the countless number of things they could have, and should have, investigated about him, but chose not to all because of ratings.
Conservatives always love playing the victim. Dude is truly showing his colors now.
