Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn blames mainstream media for party’s cratering support

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is blaming the mainstream media for the Democratic Party’s cratering national support.

In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story.

“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said.

“The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.”

….

“If we have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or to their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn whined.

“A little bit alarming, but something people will understand if they hear it.”

The veteran lawmaker reserved praise for uber left-leaning MSNBC and Velshi’s coverage, calling it one of the few platforms offering substance over spin.

“That’s why I like coming on your shows on the weekends,” he said.

Clyburn ended with a shot at outlets that, in his view, let lies spread unchecked.

HAHAHAHAHA:

“That’s what’s killing us as Democrats,” he said.

“We don’t have a stomach for just lying.”
