Joe Biden had a single bad debate and the media excoriated him for weeks.

Trump holds an utterly unhinged “press conference” and they applaud him for showing up to lie to them.

Are they really doing this again?
Really really?
Are you fucking kidding me?

Right?! As I have been saying, we are in a political hell realm.

watch Laurence O’Donnell’s MSNBC opening tonight and you’ll feel better. He tears them apart for failing to do their job today.

I thought I heard you groaning, yelling, cursing at the TV like the rest of us. We've got to shame them, let them know they've made themselves irrelevant to serious voters & news consumers.

If there's $ to be made, they'll burn this fucking place to ground in the process.

@jojo[email protected] @SailorDisco “What? WHAT? I can’t hear you but Biden is old.”

@jojo.fromjerz @cynblogger The cynical part of us believes they keep cameras trained on

because they're hoping he'll stroke out live on air. While we may also harbor that sentiment, we're not professional journalists

we have been telling them for years to do their jobs and they gaslight us and tell us we don’t know what we are talking about. then they congratulate themselves on their access. it’s revolting propaganda.

It's less and less important, because the fact that "weird" works is that it is self-evident. Biden is no longer the comparison. It's a prosecutor now, not a politician. That's knocked the scales from a lot of eyes. the media, whose failings are becoming just as self-evident as tfg's. Tell everyone to do their own work for the facts. Tell them to get the news when they want, not when broadcasters tell them it's time for news.
