#1 I've been saying for over a year that when they get really desperate, when it looks like they have nothing left to advance their agenda, the left will resort to unfounded accusations of racism in response to anything someone on the center/right says, regardless of intent or content.

Like the old joke, "How do you know when a leftist is losing an debate on facts? He's accusing his opponent of racism!"

#4 It is only effective to the extent that people believe it. These days, the liberal media outlets have much less influence than they had in the past. People are turning away from them and getting their news from other outlets. People who do watch them increasingly do not believe what they have to say.

So the bottom line is that they can pretty much say whatever they want at this point because their influence on people is declining with every passing month.

Nobody I have asked has watched a news broadcast on the "alphabet" networks (abc, cbs, nbc) in the past year except one person, my 75yo former mother-in-law who watches CBS news religiously every evening.
