Difference between revisions of "18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal and Chapter 2020"

It doesn't make logical sense, if you believe that the principal reason for reporting on the election is to make sure that the voters have an early opportunity to hear all voices and begin to make their decisions, rather than immediately trying to pick a narrative about frontrunners, who are always taken to be inevitable. That's a conserved feature of this bizarre election coverage, cycle after cycle. So the first thing I want to do is recommend that you Google "MSNBC" and "Andrew Yang" and "Yang Media Blackout", and look at the impressive data set that has been collected, which shows a singular focus that can be inferred from the data on Andrew Yang. Now, to an extent, this has also happened with Tulsi Gabbard. To an extent there's been some carryover from Bernie Sanders, but Bernie Sanders' showing in 2016 was so strong, the same games that were applied to Sanders then cannot easily be applied now.
