CNN pundit Van Jones says Democrats’ media strategy is a major reason Vice President Harris lost this week’s presidential election to former President Trump.
“We got beat because the conservatives and Republicans built a different media system,” Jones said on the channel Thursday. “It had to do with online, had to do with podcasts, with streaming platforms. And they were spending their money there.”
Jones bemoaned that many Democrats and mainstream media outlets were “laughing at Trump for throwing away his ground game and doing weird stuff online.”
“It turned out we were the idiots,” he continued. “We woke up in a body bag because while we were knocking on doors, they were making these phones into 24-hour-a-day political weapons for themselves.”
Van Jones is trying to come to terms with the fact that Kamala spent over a billion dollars on campaign adds in the media when Trump only spent around $4 million, in addition to the main stream media campaigning for Kamala 24/7 free of charge. I read another article that stated the main street media was the most biased for the democrats this election cycle than at any other time in history, to the tune of around being pro Kamala and anti Trump around 70% of the time.
What Van Jones is saying here is, "We need to buy elections, but how?"
I think he is somewhat right here. For example, the last election pretty much all the media shut down Trump with Twitter leading the way. Trump was even banned from Twitter altogether, so that the only message he could get out to people is a message Joe Biden wanted you to hear, or not hear. They tried this with minimal success this election with gag orders from judges. You then had a situation where all social media censored the content for Joe Biden. This caused social media groups like Twitter to ban the Hunter laptop scandal, which caused about 20% of the voters to later say they would not have voted for Joe had they known about the scandal. During the 2020 election, they basically made blinded and gagged Trump right before the election as they wrote the narrative of Trump the next Hitler. It was a democrat dream come true.
But..........but..........................but.........................then came Elon, and exposed how social media groups like Twitter had become an apendage of the propaganda voting machine for the DNC and allowed free speech once again. What Van Jones is saying here is, the DNC needs to either destroy Elon and return all media to the democrats, or compete with Republicans on social media. And since Marxists are unable to compete on a fair level playing field, which is why they are all socialists, they will have to find a way to silence their political opponents once again.
There is also a fact Van Jones overlooks and that is the fact that Americans are hurting financially much more under Kamala the cat woman than Trump. That is something propaganda cannot fix. People are just madder than hornets is all.
