SO DIRTY: Proof That Partisan Press Impacted Democrat Voters’ Choices… Bigly!
One-in-six Biden voters would NEVER have supported him had they know about any of these several news stories — flipping the results red in several battleground states.
And for anyone who seriously thinks this was not intentional on the part of the Media(D), we’ve got a bridge to sell ya.
NewsBusters followed up with more than 1000 Biden voters in battleground states, and what they’ve learned was exactly the reason we have been blasting the defacto AV department of the Democrat party as ‘fake news’ for the past 4 years.
They discovered that Biden voters were largely ignorant of some key news that would be favorable to Trump as well as news that would be harmful to Biden.
This lack of information proved crucial: One of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories. A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden, and Donald Trump would have comfortably won a second term as president.-NewsBusters
The full article can be found here, but here is a summary of some key takeaways.
The Biden bad news:
More than one-third of Biden voters didn’t know about the allegations by Tara Reade that Joe Biden’s hand had violated his (lifelong Democrat!) female staffer body against her will, with 8.9% saying they would have voted differently had they known. (This alone would have been enough to shift six battleground states from Biden’s column to Trump’s, giving him 311 Electoral College votes.)
How about that Hunter Biden story? Turns out 45.1% of Biden voters were kept in the dark about that one. (Thanks to a coordinated effort from traditional media and social media throwing a cone of silence over it. That would have impacted the choice of 9.4% of Dem voters, likewise flipping 6 states, giving Trump 311 Electoral College votes.)
Hard Left politics. Most Democrat voters hadn’t a sweet clue about Kamala’s voting record being further left than even Bernie Sanders. That would be a 4.1% difference and 5 states. Trump up with 295.)
That’s only half of the story. The other half was the good news they were never told.
The Trump good news:
Pre-election jobs reports. Democrats were in the dark that jobs were well on their way to bouncing back from the shutdowns, with 11 Million jobs coming back from June to October. 39.4% in the dark. That’s a 5.4% changed vote, for 295 Electoral College votes.
Economic growth, Trump’s signature promise. Like jobs, rebounding nicely after the obligatory shutdown. Record jump in growth all but unreported, 49.0% in the dark, 5.6% shift. Trump 295.
Multiple Middle East Peace Agreements / 3 Nobel Peace Prize nominations (Actually, there is now a 5th nomination): 43.5% of Biden voters had no idea about any of it. 5% of voters would have changed over this question, flipping 5 states, giving Trump 295.
Energy Independence? Same story. 50.5% of Biden voters did not know America had achieved the long-sought-after goal of energy independence, and 5.8 would have changed their mind about Biden/Trump over this issue. Trump 295.
See a pattern forming here?
Facebook, Twitter and the media have been blowing smoke about ‘propaganda’ for a very long time, claiming that the Right has been dishonest and required censorship.
Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, has long called Democrat voters ‘low-information’ voters.
The Founding Fathers and the Framers understood that a free people must necessarily be an informed people.
If the media keeps voters in the dark with the explicit intent of pushing their will on the public’s voting, it’s time to ask about their motives for manipulating what the public knows.
If their reason is that they want to blind citizens to the facts to manipulate citizens into supporting the media’s personal political agenda, they are not respecting the free people to behave as truly free people.
In that case, what would be wrong with the criticism that the press is the ‘enemy of the people’?
