Trump wins election, media rushes to talk to Trump supporters. he loses election, the media rushes..

and I liked the response to this tweet also:

Trump wins election, the media rushes to talk to Trump supporters. Trump loses election, the media rushes to talk to Trump supporters. There are other people!


I want numerous reports where they talk to Black female Biden voters in GA. That there's been none is an absolute disgrace.

Maybe they do it because the notion that anybody would consider voting for TFG is so inexplicable that they thought they had to investigate it, but that's long since over. How about going out into the field and talking to some of us? Yes, for sure, black female voters in Georgia who voted for Biden. And maybe also white voters in Wyoming who voted for Biden (they exist, too). People all over the country, of all races, ethnicities, genders, religions, and economic circumstances who rejected TFG's incompetence and rage and hate. Are we too normal and sane to bother with?

Batshit crazy gets clicks/views, and, despite their numbers being almost 10 MILLION more, Biden supporters are hamstrung by the fact that sane people, voting for sanity, don’t appear particularly newsworthy.

When Republicans win an election, they get the big platform and the media megaphone because winners. When Republicans lose, they get the big platform and the media megaphone because their valuable voices in our national conversation shouldn't fade just because they lost.
