For me it’s not that I’m either ok or not ok with Biden as a candidate it’s that my brain cannot rationalize that the media has so uniformly freaked out about him while remaining comparatively serene about all the other far worse stuff in the past two weeks.

I guess the thing is that I’d trust news sources that would go “PRESIDENT ARE NOW LEGALLY ABLE TO DO CRIME!!!! and also Biden is old and doddering”, but not “BIDEN IS OLD AND DODDERING!!!! and also Presidents can now legally do crime”

Begging people to question media narratives about elections. What is reported, how it’s reported and what is amplified is not developed in some kind of holy and clean bubble outside of politics. We should be questioning the purpose of narratives *especially* when it confirms our fears and suspicions

It’s insane isn’t it? The Supreme Court just threw out democracy to the wind, but all they want to talk about is Biden’s debate performance.

I'm torn between media corruption and journalists realizing that it's a waste of energy to try to tell MAGA people Trump is bad.

It’s been a week, SCOTUS declared Trump a king above the law, Trump promised military tribunals for his enemies, and then appeared on more Epstein flight logs. And the main story is still “Biden had a bad debate so he should drop out now?”

The media 'freakout' is fabricated and misinformation. I saw MSNBC post stuff about Biden as news about his future as President and after fact-checking it some of it was straight up lies to make him look bad. They are 100% devoted to getting Trump elected and doing propaganda campaigns right now.

Laziness. Biden's an easier story than Chevron or immunity for official acts, which both require several paragraphs of explaining. With Biden all they need is a video clip.

1000% It reminds me of analysis from someone or another that said the media sees Democrats as protagonists to be pushed, pulled, tested and challenged. Republicans are the weather.

I think the criticism of the media as the driver of this phenomenon is missing the role of the Democratic Party's elected officials, big donors, and operatives. They're not (mostly) freaking out because the media is freaking out. I had people live texting me during the debate.
