Media Influence and Candidate Suppression

Legacy media plays a significant role in shaping political narratives and can suppress candidates outside the establishment's favor. Marianne Williamson emphasizes that both herself and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intentional de-amplification from major networks like CNN and MSNBC, which limited their visibility to Democratic voters. She argues that this de-amplification is a form of candidate suppression, which she equates to voter suppression. The Democratic National Committee's overt decision to support Joe Biden and discourage primary challenges highlights the systemic barriers placed against alternative candidates.
