As I said before, it’s hard to prove that, because the Zimmerman campaigns complaints were ignored in favor of more crime reporting which played into Santos’ hands.

What oppo there was was covered by small independent news stations

This is bullshit and you know it. Campaigns have press releases or statements on their website. This stuff is independent of press coverage.

The oppo presented was about Santos's wealth (which they presented as sketchy but without real evidence of wrongdoing ) and phony charity. Nothing about lying about his ancestry, his employment, or his education.

DCCC and Zimmerman focused more on his anti-abortion views and connection with Trump.

But it follows the pattern that he’s exaggerated every part of his life and image.

If the media had done its job, it would have followed up on that by pulling on the thread.

To quote a stupid man, that’s bulls hit and you know it.
