Is it my imagination or is the constant throng of bad news and riots seem to be much quieter lately. I wonder if the polls showing Biden down has anything to do with it? NAH nothing to see here.  Roll Eyes

I'm thinking that people getting shot/hurt and arrested is having an effect.   Probably just my imagination but, that's what I'm thinking.   Or, a biased media is starting to figure out that all that biased reporting is starting to get different groups attention and those groups are willing to meet the challenge head on.   

You're probably right, nothing to see here, move along.  Wink

I certainly hope so.

Two things I REALLY HATE on TV -
1. This constant coverage of the bad news BLM / Antifa riot crap. Political heads of government could stop this if they wanted to. Read into that what you will.
2. Political advertising of any kind. I absolutely despise election season, with the constant barrage of TV ads, calls on my cell phone, texts to my cell, etc. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't constant negative ads - I want to know what YOU will do, not the bad things of your opponent.

The TV ads never both us.  We record 99% of what we watch.  Those ads go by really fast.  Phone calls can be annoying now that they can spoof the phone number to look like a local number.

I answer telephone calls.  There area lot of people who have a reason to call me whose numbers I do not have.  It's an easy thing to hang up.

Isn't it interesting that I haven't hung up a telephone in decades but I still say, "Hang up"?

I think you’re on to something there.

Now that the there have been numerous reports of citizens starting counter protests and standing up to the riots the dynamics are changing. If it gets out that the counter protesters are making a difference then that’s bad for the media push of racism and the supposed peaceful protests. Encouraging the good guys is bad for Biden.

I see it as a ploy to ease the fear of losing for the conservative voters hoping they blow off their need for voting.

I think the demonstration/protesting/rioting and coverage will resume before the election.
