I write frequently about the "Democrat to media to 'news story' circle of life," and ran across yet another example this morning.
The Democrats in Texas have a desired narrative of "Talarico-mania" and now they're even trying to say that the leftist candidate who can name his favorite drag queen in 1.5 seconds can now out-draw Donald Trump at his rallies.
This is the kind of thing the Dems want the media to run with.
Lubbock County voted for President Trump by 40 points. Tonight 4,000 people showed up at our rally. Texans are ready for change. https://t.co/oUU0QfeUE4

🚨 BREAKING: James Talarico's rally in El Paso went OVER CAPACITY, with over a thousand in attendance. Talarico is running on healthcare for all. https://t.co/jdjyUgCHZ5

Really? I can't help but wonder how many buses are parked outside.
But, the "Dem to media to 'news story' circle of life" being what it is, this is what came next from NBC News, which no doubt pleased the DNC:
On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for President Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. https://t.co/4iUjzwTl8L

"Big excitement for Democrats in usually reliably red areas" is the hot talking point, and NBC News and others are happy to oblige.
Talarico’s crowd was a third of Trump’s. Just stop, lol.

The Democrats tell them what to "report," and many in the media just salute and do as they've been told.
Trump did two rallies in Texas yesterday and the lines were wrapped around the block both times. People were standing in the rain. I’m so sick of the bullshit. Report the truth or shut up. Nobody watches your garbage because you’re Democrat propaganda outlets that can’t stop lying. Trump is still drawing huge crowds. He’s as popular as he’s ever been. Cope harder, degenerates. https://t.co/ATeb9PGDlN

NBC could not be anymore in the tank for the Dem party

That's not possible, but it's not stopping them from trying.
