[quote=burghMan][quote=outtamojo]I dont like that Biden sent a letter to tv media asking them not to put Giuliani on
That is downright lame, as if Biden could not come up with other ways to fight the smear job.[/quote]

It was a weak move, but are there other ways?

These days, smear jobs are more effective than ever. Much of Trump’s success can be attributed to his effective use of smear jobs. The “birther” claims were absurd and idiotic but literally millions believe them. Most of Trump’s approach to fighting his own misdeeds is to basically repeat “I know you are but what am I” over and over through right wing media.

There’s a saying: Teaching truth requires evidence but teaching falsehoods only requires confusion. Social media and 24 hour news have amplified this effect. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth to many.

I think Biden has done everything that reasonably can be done to fight the smear job. Unfortunately it probably won’t be enough.[/quote]

You are dead on about how effective smear jobs are- people think Biden Sr. strong armed the removal of a prosecutor in Ukraine all by himself.
