Conservative Journalist Explains Why the Liberal Media is Going Along With the Destruction of Eric Swalwell

Have you been surprised by the liberal media’s willingness to report on all of the explosive developments in the scandal surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell?

He is, after all, the top Democrat candidate in the race for governor of California. Why would the liberal media report all of this news instead of trying to downplay it?

There is a very good answer for these questions, and as usual, it all has to do with the media trying to help the Democrats.

More specifically, it is about trying to make sure that the job of governor of California remains under Democrat control.

John Nolte of Breitbart News recently broke this down perfectly:

This is the corporate media doing what the corporate media always do… If you want to understand how the media operate, whenever you see the media do something — anything — ask yourself one question: How does this benefit Democrats? To wit…

The upcoming June 2 California gubernatorial primary is not like other primaries. Instead of one Democrat primary winner and one Republican primary winner facing off in the general election, the top two vote-getters advance to the general election… regardless of party. Now go and look at the polls. As you can see, there’s a very real chance two Republicans could win the primary, which would ensure a Republican becomes governor of California.

The media and Democrats cannot allow that possibility, so it’s been decided that Swalwell must be sacrificed. His sacrifice will break the three-way tie between the three top Democrats — Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer — and once Swalwell’s 15 percent support moves to the other two, one or both is certain to go on to compete in the general election, which practically ensures Democrats hold onto California’s governor’s seat.

You see, if Swalwell were polling at 30 percent instead of his current 15 percent, the media cover-up of these allegations would continue because no one would be sweating a Republican sneaking into victory.

That’s it in a nutshell.

The liberal media did not suddenly grow a conscience. They are the same partisan hacks they have always been.

They want Swalwell out of the way so that the Democrats can win. He is being sacrificed for the greater good.
