Media bias is everywhere. And this morning, when reading about the misdemeanorcharge of assault against Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, in Florida (an incident involving Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields on March 8 — over a couple of weeks ago — that was shown to be a nothing-burger), and then looking at the video that shows that nothing happened to warrant the charge, you just knew it was going to be bad for Trump.
Did we expect non-stop crawls on CNN and Fox, keeping viewer attention on the charge of assault? Turned on the TV to flip between the two stations. Yup.Wall-to-wall crawls. The report in the crawl was technically correct -a charge WAS filed against Trump’s campaign manager. And that’s all that was needed to get the lyin’ media coverage. Never mind that the charge is baseless.
And here is what will probably happen, if they run true to form. The lyin’ media will run the headline as long as they can (and they’ve been including shots of the stop-action video that would make it APPEAR that there was some basis in fact for the charge, when in fact, there is no “there” there, as Gertrude Stein would have said). And maybe in a few days, or in a week or two, the charge will be quietly dropped, and if the lyin’ media covers it at all, they will bury it.
And that’s the technique. Burn that impression into the viewer’s mind for a few days, and you’ve done the job. No matter whether it’s false, retracted, or withdrawn. Damage is done.
The tactic today got the lyin’ media a twofer: it shoved the Ted Cruz “Cuban Mistress Crisis” off to the side, and it threw mud at the Trump campaign.
