AOC has been largely adulated by the media and it's bizarre that so many journalists (who support her) are denying this. Speaks to lack of self-awareness, a frequent journalistic problemhttps://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1093571595786960903 …

Two points: (1) Why not count the right wing smears? Many of them have appeared in ostensibly respectable right wing media. Ignoring them builds a distinct slant into a portrait of the overall coverage. 1/2

Because they've been so buffoonish for the most part that they've actually redounded to her benefit. They have also failed in dictating the overall tenor of the coverage, which has been positive.

I really appreciate the way right-wing media is trojan horsing the entire DSA agenda into the mainstream.

I think the establishment may be going easy on her in order to give the appearance that her progressive ideas are part of a "big umbrella" party, while in no way are remotely considering any of her ideas. That's why we need to get rid of the old leadership.

The oddest thing to me is that her describing how a progressive tax works impressed people. That's setting the bar as low as it goes for "impressive" economic insight.

The point is that she actually argued for one with real teeth in it - something none of the Democrat “leadership” was willing or able to do.

If she was anything like Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, or Walter Jones, she wouldn't be considered a hero. Heck, even if she was as bold on foreign policy as Tulsi Gabbard or Ro Khanna, she'd still be ignored. She doesn't say anything about foreign policy, so they exalt her.

People who challenge the pro-war consensus in meaningful ways are guaranteed obscurity. They don't get adulatory documentaries made about them during their first year in office, nor do they become the subjects of hagiography from mainstream publications and late-night talk shows.

Then it begs the question what critiques of her do you think should be made and journalists are ignoring?

in reality she is basically an actress who brings up issues, but in an unrealistic way that she can get away with because of her age and "cuteness" when you propose "change" but make it as unrealistic as the New Green Deal what you are actually doing is defending the status quo

She defeated Joe Crowley; that didn't mean she was competent, only that he was a corrupt, dislikeable 20 year careerist.

I guess you must lapse into a temporary coma or suffer a stroke when you watch Fox News, otherwise you'd know there's absolutely been a concerted effort to de-legitimize her.

Guaranteed economic security for everybody unable or UNWILLING to work. Look, I think I’ve heard enough lunacy from this mental midget. I’m sure she was a good bartender, but this politics things is beyind her.
