If Biden can't campaign he should consider passing the torch, but the elite press (and especially the NYT) is desperately trying to will this into existence. And it's really gross. (2/2)

Not surprised in general, but disappointed EK is leaning in so hard to the narrative.

I firmly believe Trump would have all unfavourable Press killed. Either with an explicit order, or in a "wonโ€™t someone please rid me of these reporters" kind of way. Itโ€™s baffling they donโ€™t seem to see this as a possibility.

Just talking about this with my husband this morning. Trump has done so many worse things than have a bad debate and there are crickets from the media.

Sure it is just as you said Aaron. But viewing as an totally outsider the biggest question is, how come it's so that in a nation with several hundred of millions population, there's none younger who could step up as a candidate? None who's eligible for the party & people This said for both sides

I think the NYT is trash right now, and their framing of the issues surrounding Biden, but as a die hard Biden voter and defender, it took all of 10 minutes of that debate to make me angry and want some answer other than what we have now.

re: press desperately trying to will it into existence. This is why I oppose dropping Biden. Can't trust the polls, they have been so notoriously wrong.

It wouldnโ€™t be so gross if they were able to muster 1/10th of this energy to push for Trump to drop out, considering *fucking everything*

Personally, I think the issue is that the majority of Biden's media team took this week off because, ya know, the 4th. Then this stuff starts happening and it catches everyone off guard. I could be totally fuckin' wrong though, we'll have to see what happens over the next week.

Itโ€™s just a debate! Theyโ€™re henny pennying and forgetting his track record. Plus, heโ€™s only 3 yr older than Mango Mussolini (stable genius, my ass).

The GOP is trying to pull the same crap on Joe Biden that they pulled on Hillary in 2016. Remember that feeding frenzy? The GOP always resorts to dirty tricks because their policies are appalling. They just want to take our rights away.

The second the debate ended, it cut to a pundit saying "I'm in the spin room and what people are talking about is should Biden quit." And...good god, who are these amateur-hour Dems in the spin room who let THAT be the talking point? Like bro, do you even spin?

President Biden is old and we all know it. We all know that he does sometimes still stutter and sometimes his voice can be week. None of this gives us any indication he is not mentally fit to continue as president. Some of the poor performance falls on how the debate was structured and handled โ€ฆ

But yet the @nytimes.com will ALWAYS insist that it has no viewpoint, no politics, they're just "doing journalism." Can someone write about this? I don't care what your politics are but please don't tell me you don't have any at all. It's just dishonest and manipulative.
