The Media Is Getting Desperate And Pushing A Bogus Trump Comeback Story

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:26 pm

The corporate media doesn’t want a blowout election, so with less than two weeks to go some in the press are pushing a bogus Trump comeback narrative.

Will Jordan of YouGov tweeted that CNN, in particular, is getting very desperate:

The problem with the notion of the “race tightening” is all statistical evidence points to the presidential race not moving much at all.

CNN’s own average of all polls shows Hillary Clinton’s lead holding steady:

Fox News is busy feeding their viewers the dream of a Trump comeback, but that’s to be expected.

Fox News is the channel that brought you Dick Morris predicting Mitt Romney’s victory and Karl Rove’s election night flip out over Obama’s win in 2012.

One of the sure signs that a voters are close to a definitive outcome in a presidential election is when some in the media start trying to gin up a comeback for the trailing candidate. With the exception of Fox News and other conservative outlets, media like CNN go down this path because they see interest waning in the election, so they are looking to boost ratings with some artificial drama.

Like clockwork, some in the press are cooking up the comeback kid narrative.

Don’t fall for it. Trust numbers. Trust facts, and trust voting results. The rest of it is the standard nonsense that gets pulled every election year when the networks begin to see their election bounce end and ratings decline.
