Barnette Says Her Campaign Was Derailed By ‘Partisan Journalism’

EXCERPT:

BARNETTE: "Well, I think what we saw with my race is, you know, a broader issue, right, so the spotlight was shining on me. But I think it's a — it's a — it's a much broader story here, and that is the partisan journalism that we see across both sides of the aisle because there are so many people, there are people coming to me — coming at me from the left and from the right. And you know, on Friday evening, five days ago, I was — the American people were being told that I'm a member of Black Lives Matter, and then three days later the same American people were being told that I'm marching with white supremacists, right? And so what that did is created an echo chamber, and it made it very difficult for the voters here in Pennsylvania to know what it is to do. I was just listening to your previous blog. You know, there's a reason why so many people feel as though they cannot trust mainstream media and have to go out and do their own research, because there's so much partisan journalism that's going on that is creating a very challenging environment for Americans to know what's true, what's not true."
