Mayoral race- Boston

Great episode on the historic mayoral race taking place in Boston both in primaries, and in November. It’s own moment of Lift.

The election analyst you had on Today did you no favors . He belongs on Fox News. He does not recognize data that is contrary to what he wants to say and minimizes that which appears to contradict it . It is the old trick of not having an opposing voice on while you are presenting . On Politico he does not . He is smooth and not bombastic but not truthful. He lies by omission and subtle distortion . My guess he is paid for and beholding to republican . If he is not he should be.

You do not look like unbiased journalists with guys like this , especially when you do not present a counter point .
