DeSantis Pushes Baseless Claim ‘Liberal States’ Conduct ‘Post-Birth Abortions’ - Lemmy.world

"Post-birth abortion" 💀💀

Bro that's called murder 😅 why do they try so much to associate abortion with murder? It never worked and never will. Nobody is as dumb as they are. It's like they are trying to convince you to become stupid and forget reason because Jesus.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with conservatives nowadays? This is why this ideology is dying. And the more it dies, the more radicalized they become

Why isn’t the interviewer calling out his bullshit to his face? This is how you get the lowest common denominator to believe this garbage.

It's the bullshit myth of "impartiality" that most journalists buy into.

They think they need to just "let the candidate speak for themselves" unless it's a left leaning candidate, and then they either;

A, Ignore the candidate completely,
B, Tear into the candidate on made up metrics like "electability" despite how popular the candidate actually is.

It’s cuz the people who own media companies love republican policies and candidates no matter how “left-leaning” they allow their outlets to present as. An actual left-wing news station would tear desantis apart but they don’t exist because of media concentration.
Forget who said it but it was something like this. If a reporter has 2 guests on their show and one guest says its raining and the other guest says its not raining, the reporters job is not to report that there is a controversy about it raining. The reporters job is to look out the window and see if its raining.
Because CNN got shifted towards the right for a while. I know there's been leadership change at CNN relatively recently, but I don't know if that leadership is making any changes on that front, or if any attempted changes are having an effect.
He’s pushing it further to the right, as Can be expected from a billionaire.
They’re tying to attract some of FOX’s disaffected viewership.
