Unanimously screaming that debate is DANGEROUS, and using lies and smears to put that point across, "our free press" is now one big, loud conspiracy against American democracy (or what's left of it)
I just spent a few days with some much-beloved friends who are “NPR Liberals.” There is no debate. Anyone against their narrative is crazy, and facts disproving their narrative are untrue... They still think the H Biden laptop story is Russian disinfo. How convenient it must be to label everything that undermines their narrative as hokum, and anyone who attempt to debate their narrative as conspiracy theorists. You can never lose!
No such thing as a 'free press' if it's owned by millionaires and billionaires. Most major news corporations around the world today are banging the same toxic drum because they're owned by the same billionaires. A truly free press would need to be owned and run by the people and be independent of advertising.

The notion that a political campaign, especially the interminable US presidential campaign, ought be about honest discussion from a variety of perspectives centering on critical issues which affect the population rather than a vaudeville show revolving around "who can win", is completely beyond these presstitutes.
They are also, of course, terrified that the internet has opened up this possibility dramatically thus they seek to control, censor, and deflect.
Kennedy is too much for them since he is the sole candidate in recent times who actually has a track record of accomplishment in a variety of fields rather than a shill who has contributed nothing to humanity that is, a "professional politician".
Consider as a contrast the "Lincoln Douglas" debates in 1858:
"Each debate lasted about three hours; one candidate spoke for 60 minutes, followed by a 90-minute response and a final 30-minute rejoinder by the first candidate. The candidates alternated speaking first. As the incumbent, Douglas spoke first in four of the debates. They were held outdoors, weather permitting, from about 2 to 5 p.m. There were fields full of listeners. "
(and was is long before the invention of microphones and electronic amplification)
Legacy media groups are terrified because more people now get their news From social media , Hell even Bill Maher's interview with RFK has them shaking. Evening News is DEAD!
Excellent article. I have nothing to add but want to say I am reading your “The Bush Dyslexicon”. Twenty-five pages in, I have laughed (out loud!) several times and had my foundations shaken. I’m not a Republican but I always felt W was a better choice than Gore or Kerry. Thanks to your insights, I now see the utter disgrace that our presidential choices are most of the time. I am looking forward to voting for Bobby Kennedy.
Hotez as “courageous” is absolutely hilarious.
It’s written “...“Conspiracy theorists don’t care about facts, just attention.”
I say ““today’s journalists don’t care about facts, just advertising revenue.”

How does the LA Times get away with writing "Kennedy says he’s running for the Democratic nomination for president."
Says he's running? He's been an official candidate for the nomination for over two months.
Am so grateful for your meticulous clarification and debunking of all this New York Slimes hogwash - thank you -!

This the same horse hockey that Dr. Hotez implements. Basically, they're cowards and shills who are unable to prove Bobby wrong.
Calling them presstitutes is an insult to whores.
"W" lost in 2,000 and 2,004.

As Jimmy Dore has observed, "You get censored for telling the truth, not for lying."

The fact that it’s in the NYT is reason enough to reject it as false/fake news. There is nothing but narrative in the NYT

This is how they try and cut people off at the pass along the lines of "do NOT do your own research".
Here, just ad hom the living horse crap out of them, "he speaketh with a forked tongue!" So that nothing they say will be listened to.

mockingbirds about to go the way of the dodo.
manjoo loses all possible cred by failing to recognize hotez as a genocidal monster who served up his own daughter to moloch
I can’t stand these people, they sound like little children having temper tantrums and that’s an insult to the children!
