Say what you will about the various Democratic party actors in the fight over whether Biden stays on the ticket, but I can understand all of their behavior much better than I can the journalists who are trying to write their way into the camps

Somebody needs to have a metaphorical sit down with the beltway press and straight up tell them that even if “the good guys” retake the country from the Republicans after their takeover, there’s no guarantee the press will have the privileges and freedoms it currently enjoys (1/2)

The reason why it's so important to have someone capable of beating Trump is THE story. It can't just be taken as a given.

It so feels like Trump's comments have a shelf life but Biden's age doesn't. I know it's not true and recency bias and all, but it's not hammered home enough in news stories of Trump's rhetoric.

An interesting rhetorical shift instead of trying to justify not talking about policy differences he drastically shifted into not talking about Trump criticisms.

Biden’s bad debate is no longer new. Trump’s refusal of a freebie prime time ABC interview is new and uncharacteristic. Why is Trump’s campaign hiding him? How is Trump scrambling to cope with a promised Biden resurgence? Can Trump regain media attention when all eyeballs are on Biden?

I think this gets right to how broken the current discourse is. There are no potential alternatives who have defeated Donald Trump, & no other means to resolve the question. So they just keep spinning in wet-diapered circles

I actually genuinely think he thinks Biden can't beat Trump, and he wants to use his platform to contribute to the pressure campaign to get Biden to step down. They don't want to be in the camps but feel like a simple candidate switch is enough to prevent them.

I see a ton of people dunking on Shafer. I’ll say that few people cover the issues and stakes as closely as Dan. He just did a podcast with Tammy Baldwin focused on child care. I think what he’s getting at is that the political media isn’t moving on from the Biden is Old narrative any time soon.

I was trying to think of a less negative, they're chasing trends rather than they've just decided on a clear right wing bias, and that's it; they've figured the shock value of Trump and his party being literally the worst people on earth isn't novel enough to be news worthy anymore.

They don’t think the threat is real and aren’t capable of ceding authority. None of these dudes stop to think about how their implicit demand is for all of us to STFU until we die, because our deaths are the only warning they care to hear. Or how suspect it is they can’t trust minorities before that
