If Biden, Nancy , and Chuck held press conferences every day touting their accomplishments—and by the way the Dems do tout their successes in MS and social media— do you think all that RW media you are surrounded by would 1) cover it or 2) acknowledge Biden’s successes?

If Biden, Nancy , and Chuck held press conferences every day touting their accomplishments—and by the way the Dems do tout their successes in MS and social media— do you think all that RW media you are surrounded by would 1) cover it or 2) acknowledge Biden’s successes? It’s up to you to push back against your neighbors IF you feel comfortable to do so. No amount of Dem messaging will penetrate because your neighbors, saturated with RW lies hate them.
I seriously doubt most of the mainstream media would cover their daily press conferences. I have noticed that even when Biden has spoken publicly about an accomplishment he has often been drowned out by whatever negative narrative the media is harping about. Then they blame Democrats for not selling themselves. The media is a giant filter that screens out a lot of the info we should be getting. Worse they often distort it.
Exactly. And adding to this, many on the left absorb that “bad messaging” line and repeat it.
If I know or have had discussions with the people in the past, I usually try give a different perspective.
Butting into a conversion/discussion, with 3 muscle heads in the weight room that I don’t know, is another thing.
But I agree with you that just depending on Biden admin messaging is not enough to change much. Although it is nice to be able to bring up positive articles on your phone to substantiate your opinion in these instances.
That’s why I said IF. These days disagreeing could get you beaten up, harassed or worse.
That’s the rub. The media always have a caveat in any good news story. It’s frustrating. But they are there. Like the op Ed in the Wapo by the deputy Ed page Ed who admitted Biden isn’t getting credit he deserves. Jen Rubin also has some good blog columns.
