Forget the Truth: James Carville Urges Fact-Checkers to Ditch “Impartial” Reporting to Help Democrats
On Thursday, Democratic strategist James Carville indicated the truth is less important to him than beating Republicans.
Carville has already claimed “the entire Constitution is in peril” if Republicans regain power and has urged media outlets, during a June episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast, to increase “slanted” coverage of President Donald Trump to prevent his reelection and ‘save the Constitution.’
He said at the time, “Now you have Joe Kahn, the new editor or publisher, whatever he is at The New York Times, saying, ‘We’re just going to cover this down the middle. We’re going to cover what it is.’ I don’t think that’s the role of the news media at a time when the entire Constitution is in peril.”
Carville continued.
