Ok so, I don’t think i can really remember anything like this in a long time.
Come to think of it…I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen the media just go after the top Democrat in the country.
So to keep track of stories I use a tool that allows me to look at multiple Twitter accounts and categorize them. It’s basically and easy way to see what people are posting without endlessly searching. On of those lists includes only reporters from the mainstream media.
As of the writing of this post the word from Biden’s team is that he’s staying in the race and the debate was just a bad night.
However, the onslaught from the mainstream media is unrelenting.
This all takes me back to something that Rush Limbaugh used to say when scandals would hit. If you were created by the media, you can be destroyed by the media. Since before Biden took office, the press has built him up, and now that they are done with him, they are tearing him down. Unlike former President Trump who they’ve thrown everything at and still can’t take him down.
So for fun, I thought I would just show you the drumbeat and below, I’m going to go straight down my list so you can see what members of the media are saying:
I’ll put their names and what network or publication they work with.
Andy Kaczynski, CNN:
Three-quarters of US voters say the Democratic Party would fare better in 2024 with someone other than Biden, per a new CNN poll. Biden’s approval rating is at a new low. Trump leads Biden by 6 points, 49% to 43%, in a potential matchup. https://t.co/amkoJno2iA

Jake Tapper, CNN:
On the call Dem. governors expressed concern about what’s going on with the president
They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more
They were also surprised none of them had heard from him (!)

Chuck Todd, MSNBC:
If Biden is truly not considering dropping out, why hasn’t he addressed it directly and definitively? And the lack of personal contact from him to key leaders is head scratching for someone reportedly determined to stay in.

Former Democrat Congressman Tim Ryan commenting on a post by Democrat activists lawyer:
Are we not seeing what’s at stake here? Chevron case! Immunity case! These are key events happening in real time and our candidate is incapable of framing them and showing people know how F’d up this is. Dems playing with fire. We blow this the entire fed ct is packed w… https://t.co/kr5Rfw6GN0

Lastly, don’t look now, but Nancy, in about 48 hours, has gone from Trump’s dementia support Joe to Biden’s health is a legitimate question.
“I think it’s a legitimate question to say, ‘Is this an episode or is this a condition?’…of both candidates.”
