Leftwing media is censoring RFK, Jr.

&NewLine;<p>Imagine a candidate enters the presidential race with the most famous political name in modern American history – the nephew of an assassinated President&comma; the son of an assassinated senator and the nephew of a powerful Senate icon&period; Imagine that the candidate is married to a prominent television star&period; Imagine that such a candidate is challenging the incumbent President of the United States of America&period;&nbsp&semi; AND imagine that he is getting up to a quarter of the vote in early polls – and actually defeating the incumbent President among some demographic groups&period;&nbsp&semi; Wouldn’t that be BIG political news&quest;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; Not if you are Robert F&period; Kennedy&comma; Jr&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There can be no mistake about it&period;&nbsp&semi; The major news outlets – especially those on the left – are ignoring the Kennedy candidacy&period;&nbsp&semi; The bosses at the networks and in the editorial boardrooms have made a conscious decision to literally censor Kennedy as a means of propping up a floundering President Biden&period;&nbsp&semi; They are afraid that Kennedy could get serious traction if the people outside the New York City media bubble knew more about him&period;&nbsp&semi; There can be no other reason for the lack of coverage&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>According to polls&comma; Kennedy is already a threat to Biden despite the news blackout&period;&nbsp&semi; You see the facts in the recent New York Times&sol;Siena College Poll&period;&nbsp&semi; While most outlets reported on the Poll’s troublesome numbers in the contest between Biden and President Trump&comma; they failed to report on the Kennedy portion of the Poll&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; here they are&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In a match up between Biden&comma; Trump and a third unspecified candidate&comma; Trump tops Biden by 48 to 44 percent&comma; not much interest in the nameless so-called generic candidate&period;  But add RFK&comma; Jr&period;’s name to the poll and Biden and Trump wind up in the mid-30 percentiles with Kennedy in the mid-20s&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The Kennedy impact is even greater with Gen Z and Independents&period;&nbsp&semi; Kennedy actually beats both Biden and Trump with those voters&period;&nbsp&semi; Among the 24- to 29-year-olds&comma; it is Kennedy at 34 percent&comma; Biden at 30 percent and Trump at 29 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; With the 30- to 44-year-olds&comma; Kennedy takes 31 percent to 30 percent for both Biden and Trump&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Among independent voters&comma; the Poll shows Kennedy convincingly ahead of the two Presidents&period;&nbsp&semi; He takes 39 percent of the vote to Biden’s 29 percent and Trump’s 25 percent&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>This does not mean that Kennedy will be the 47<sup>th<&sol;sup> President of the United States&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi; He will not be appearing on the ballot in a number of states&period;&nbsp&semi; It will be tough for him to secure many Electoral College votes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>But … Kennedy is a very serious candidate who can have a huge impact on the 2024 presidential election&period;&nbsp&semi; That is what scares team Biden – and to a lesser degree team Trump&period;&nbsp&semi; There has been speculation as to who Kennedy might hurt more&period;&nbsp&semi; It appears from the polling that he would take from both Biden and Trump in states where he is on the ballot&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>That is a very real consideration when it comes to the battleground states&period;&nbsp&semi; In Arizona&comma; the Poll puts Trump and Biden at 33 percent each and Kennedy at 26 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; In Georgia it is Trump at 36 percent&comma; Biden at 26 percent&comma; just 2 points ahead of Kennedy at 24 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; In Michigan&comma; Trump takes 34 percent to Biden’s 31 percent and Kennedy’s 26 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; &nbsp&semi;Nevada goes to Trump at 38 percent&comma; with Biden at 31 percent and Kennedy at 23 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; In Pennsylvania&comma; it is Trump and Biden at 35 percent each and Kennedy at 23 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; In Wisconsin Biden tops Trump 37 to 35 percent&comma; with Kennedy at 22 percent&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Kennedy does not get winning numbers&comma; but he does get a big slice of the voter pie chart – enough to make him a major player&period;&nbsp&semi; But not to the Biden-leaning media&period;&nbsp&semi; They are treating him like some single digit also-ran&period;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Consider this&period;&nbsp&semi; Kennedy is doing WAY better against Biden than Trump’s challengers are doing in the GOP primaries – and they are getting a LOT of attention&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Oh … and about that television star wife&quest;&nbsp&semi; Kennedy is married to actress Cheryl Hines&comma; who plays the wife of Larry David in &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Curb Your Enthusiasm” – one of the funniest shows on the small tube&comma; unless you count the current presidential election contests&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
