Former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager this week said former Vice President Joe Biden will be disadvantaged in the 2020 election against President Donald Trump because the left lacks outlets like Breitbart News to help Biden “fight the social media wars.” According to a Yahoo report, David Plouffe—who helped Obama use Facebook as an online organizing tool to run circles around Hillary Clinton in the primaries and the late John McCain in the general—told “Skulduggery” podcast hosts Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on that the 2020 campaign is going to “be a challenge”

Yep. A few more CNNs, MSNBC, Washington Posts, and New York Times and maybe ol' Uncle Joe might have a chance.
You know, leftists need 99-100% press support to achieve their goals. Once it falls under 98% (about where it is now), they're toast.

Interesting he recognizes Breitbart’s effectiveness, and he suggests a leftist version for Gross Joe’s campaign fight. It doesn’t work that way, friend.

LOL! Yeah, like there are only a few conservative news outlets and a sea of neutral outlets, and so sad, not leftist news outlets......RIGHT. What a load. Essentially ALL the Enemedia are leftist outlets, and we have maybe half a dozen, at best, fair minded news sources to counter their relentless leftism.

The funny thing about all of this is every time creepy jo peeps out from his cellar he looks and sounds worse than before.
The only way the 'rats have any chance is by way of massive voter fraud. They will extend the kung flu panic-fraud as long as possible to facilitate this.

A leftist version of Breitbart would succeed about as well as Air America.

For God's sake, the entire Trade Union movement, Higher Education, Fake News Media and Hollywood are shamelessly on their side. What more do you want?

Unfortunately, Breitbart has indulged in its own body count hysteria of late. But, it’s still better than the “mainstream” media.

To borrow a comment from somebody else, this argument is so lame it has a limp. BB was not behind Trump in 2016. But the owners at that time realized that the readership WAS. So they sucked it up and went with Trump stuff instead of who they really wanted which was Cruz. If Biden can't succeed even with the entire media complex behind him, this is on HIM and them, not BB.

In a just world, David Plouffe would be a pole dancer in a perverted D.C. pizzeria somewhere.

What Breitbart brings, more than simply a Conservative source of news, is a spotlight on the lying and distortion that has become routine for the Liberal mainstream news. It was a LOT easier for them to construct and groom a narrative to promote their agenda before anybody came along to contradict that fantasy world of theirs.

Trump benefits from Breitbart because they both appreciate truth.
Dems on the other hand find that truth is toxic to them. The organizations that support them are expert in distortion and lies and, after a while, people have realized that.
Biden will be disadvantaged because he is a babbling, senile fool and NO ONE can cover him for that.

To be a Breitbart, a person has to have principles. That would explain the lack of Breitbarts on the Left.

It's the Left's lack of integrity that gave them Joe Biden.
And Hillary
and Obama
And Bubba the Horndog.
They'll never have a Breitbart. They don't want one.

How about lack of intelligent, free market capitalists, individual rights proponents, supporters of life if you want to win an election.
