“ And in this case , apparently , Chairman Schiff wants anything against his preferred political candidate to be deemed as ‘ not real ’ and as using the intelligence community or attempting to use the intelligence community to say there ’ s nothing to see here , ” Ratcliffe said .
“ Don ’ t drag the intelligence community into this , ” he demanded .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-10-19--New York Magazine Writer Claims Media Is Biased In Trump’s Favor

Jonathan Chait , a left-wing writer for New York Magazine , penned a column which argues that President Trump is actually the beneficiary of media biased in his favor .
Chait ’ s premise is that the President , through his supposed unwillingness or inability to answer simple questions , has lowered expectations by the media , and they in turn lower their bar for what is acceptable .
“ It ’ s not the media ’ s fault that Trump continues to incriminate himself and is unable to answer simple questions , ” he writes .
“ The problem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a difficult standard , ” claims Chait .
“ He is held , by necessity , to a more forgiving standard than any modern president.
” RELATED : Biden ’ s Latest Fundraising Numbers Set Another Record – Should Trump Be Worried ?
New York Magazine Author Uses Town Hall to Prove Media Biased in Trump ’ s Favor Demonstrating a complete disconnect from reality , Chait used the dueling town hall meetings last week for President Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden as evidence of his theory .
“ It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions posed to him difficult to answer and that Biden answered his queries more easily , ” he writes , using a question about QAnon as an example .
“ Let me ask you about QAnon .
It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior , of that .
Now can you just , once and for all , state that that is completely not true ?
” moderator Savannah Guthrie asked .
“ Answering this query should have been extremely simple .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chait claims .
In reality , Trump had no interest in addressing the group , stating , “ I just don ’ t know about QAnon.
” But he certainly addressed the fact that if the group promotes wild conspiracy theories that they may be a little nuts .

Jonathan Chait, a left-wing writer for New York Magazine, penned a column which argues that President Trump is actually the beneficiary of media biased in his favor.
Chait’s premise is that the President, through his supposed unwillingness or inability to answer simple questions, has lowered expectations by the media, and they in turn lower their bar for what is acceptable.
“It’s not the media’s fault that Trump continues to incriminate himself and is unable to answer simple questions,” he writes.
“The problem is not that the media holds him to a difficult standard,” claims Chait.
“He is held, by necessity, to a more forgiving standard than any modern president.”
The media is biased in Trump’s favor. (Because it’s literally impossible to hold him to a normal standard.) https://t.co/8odKwuPoLw — Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) October 19, 2020

New York Magazine Author Uses Town Hall to Prove Media Biased in Trump’s Favor
Demonstrating a complete disconnect from reality, Chait used the dueling town hall meetings last week for President Trump and Democrat nominee Joe Biden as evidence of his theory.
“It is true that Trump found many of the questions posed to him difficult to answer and that Biden answered his queries more easily,” he writes, using a question about QAnon as an example.
“Let me ask you about QAnon. It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior, of that. Now can you just, once and for all, state that that is completely not true?” moderator Savannah Guthrie asked.
“Answering this query should have been extremely simple. Trump couldn’t do it,” Chait claims.
In reality, Trump had no interest in addressing the group, stating, “I just don’t know about QAnon.”
But he certainly addressed the fact that if the group promotes wild conspiracy theories that they may be a little nuts.

The president will take Florida, as many of the seniors there, being northeast transplants, have always voted Democrat.

So Democrat seniors have been there forever and Republicans still take the state. They will this time too.
