The void of Democrat leadership has the party now lorded over by the media, IMO. Backwards. Obviously horrible if true.

How to show it empirically? It would seem to require part journo part pol. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht"> 1/

“Defund the Police” would seem a good example. The media ran with it, lockstep as always. From the get-go, Democrats were beholden to media-formed orthodoxy. 2/

Some Democrat pol “Defund ≠ Defund” nonsense occurred. (That was fun https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏻‍♂️" title="Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Mann schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (heller Hautton)">). But media had set the dogma already. D React ≠ D Lead. And let’s face it, Biden and Pelosi are not leading. Democrat Party is rudderless. 3/

Media is Leading the Democrat Party to its grave. It’s a mob of sorts and can’t deliver a coherent message. As hard as they try, 2020 media and its Orange Man Bad cohesion is the worst possible Leader of the Democrats, yet here we are. 4/

@DrewHolden360 or any bigs who do this sort of story, maybe there’s a good thread to be had. Sliced another way perhaps. But it seems to me that Democrat pols are beholden to their media and that needs an exposé. 5/5
