The mainstream media seem to judge the Democratic primary debate last night quite differently than the general public. Quartz cites multiple polls which show that Tulsi Gabbard won the debate: A poll by the right-leaning Drudge Report also found Gabbard to be the breakout of the debate with 38% of the vote, well ahead of Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren in second place. Gabbard also topped polls by local news sites including NJ.com and the Washington Examiner. Now contrast that with the mainstream media. The Washington Post discusses winners and losers of the debate and puts Gabbard in the second category: Duh! The New York Times main piece about the debate mentions Gabbard only once - in paragraph 32 of the 45 paragraphs long piece. It does not reveal anything about her actual political position: The New York Times also has some 'experts' discussing winners and losers. Gabbard is only mentioned at the very end, and by a Republican pollster, as a potential candidate for Secretary of Defense. CNN also discusses winners and losers. Gabbard is not mentioned at all. NBC News ranks the candidates' performance. It puts Gabbard on place 8 and inserts a snide: Most of the above media have long avoided to mention Gabbard and to discuss her political positions. It is quite evident that the mainstream media do not like her anti-regime-change views and are afraid of even writing about them. Tulsi Gabbard's campaign posted a video of her parts of the debate. She received some good applause.
Poster Comment:[T]wo candidates seemed to pique a lot of interest among US voters, at least when judged by who Americans searched for on Google: New Jersey senator Cory Booker and Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard was lost for much of the debate. That may not have been her fault — she wasn’t asked many questions — ....
There was little discussion of foreign policy until near the end of the debate when two little-known House lawmakers, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tim Ryan of Ohio, clashed over how aggressively to target the Taliban.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii: Seized an opportunity to highlight her military experience in Afghanistan and her signature anti-intervention foreign policy views, without being tainted by her past sympathetic comments on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Both angles completely predictable, in my view.
Guess I missed her sympathetic comments on Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.. What did she say, and why?
It's most likely FAKE NEWS since it's from NBC. But if she ever said that Bashar al-Assad is better than Trump & Obama/Hillary/Kerry - Bolton & Pompeo, she's right! Bring the troops home, end Obama & Trump's wars.
In 56, I was a troop in Munich,, and we had Ike to thank for not sending us into Budapest.. So believe me, — I get your point...
