For those of you who need a magic decoder ring to decipher the mainstream media’s code talking on the state of the Presidential race, I’ve found one. Scott Pinsker at PJ Media was kind enough to offer it to the masses.
So, knowing their biases (and divining the media’s tea leaves like ’70s-era Soviets), what can we deduce from their recent articles? All we’ve gotta do is refer to our media-to-truth decoder ring:
-
When the media says it’s a “pure toss-up,” it usually means the Republican is well in the lead.
-
When the media says it’s “down to the wire,” it usually means the Republican is well in the lead.
-
When the media says the Republican has “a problem with women,” it usually means the Democrat has a problem with men.
-
When the media runs a story 48 hours before an election wondering, “Why are Democrats having such a hard time beating Trump,” it usually means they’re very aware how badly they’re losing.
-
When the media says there’s “no clear frontrunner,” it usually means the Republican is the clear and obvious frontrunner.
-
When the media wonders “how to get through election season without despair,” it usually means they’re sad because they’re being soundly beaten.
And my spouse spins her decoder ring when I say, “we’ll see.”
The “media” (aka: the democRATS) cannot “tell the truth” because they would never get any votes other than their hard core Marxists.
