As Twitchy reported earlier, Dr. Jill Biden had a bit of a tantrum when her interviewer brought up a recent poll showing Donald Trump leading Joe Biden in six battleground states. We don't know what polls she's been looking at.
Will Stancil, who's running for state representative in Minnesota, posted a graph showing Biden falling behind Trump, with no clear explanation. "The economy was good and has only gotten better," he says. The economy's only gotten better since Biden tanked it his first year in office.
The only explanation is that the right-wing has seized control of the media and social media.
Will Stancil (@whstancil) ~ You can see this clear shift from late 2022 as Biden falls behind Trump, for no discernible reason. Biden’s got no major scandals, Trump has many. The economy was good and has only gotten better. There’s no clear explanation for it.. except the far right has been capturing media.
Will Stancil (@whstancil) ~ Where are Americans learning about politics? Where are the ideas they’re hearing about coming from? Increasingly - maybe overwhelmingly - it’s from sources controlled by the far right or in its thrall. The information landscape is a disaster.
"... the far right has been capturing the media."
