“Politics would be interesting again,” is a hell of a thing to say generally and also, for these commentators, obviously untrue. Nothing about any replacement process will be as arousing to them as the prospect of forcing the renominated president out of the race with enough poison pen columns.

This is what they really want, isn’t it? Entertaining politics to write about. They beg for a brokered convention almost every POTUS election cycle. They want drama and clicks and to be relevant.

If she wants to write drama, go be a TV writer on some fever dream of 90s American politics, not be Anne f'n Applebaum at the Atlantic.

How about this? Go out and make the case that it's far better to have Biden, who could be replaced by Harris. Seems a lot fewer chess moves for Americans to figure out.

Yes, Americans are well-known to be tuning into political stuff during the height of the summer. We are slipping over the edge and this only can envision a reality show to boost the ratings summer doldrums.

why do they think normies want interesting politics? that was, you know, one of the knocks against the Trump admin: that the news was chaotic and awful every day!

Let this be the last gasp of a corporate media gravely out of touch with the general public, and gaming for a president who will eviscerate them once in office.

”I’m looking forward to Trump bringing back gladiatorial games. All these lazy libs need to earn their keep. Why not as entertainment for us ‘citizens’? If they die, one less pleb’s life to waste my tax money on. All the better.” Their entertainment is watching other people suffer.

One thing about the Trump years is how incredibly boring it was. Seeing his stupid children on TV again and again. The same stupidities day after day.

Did they just straight up admit that the only thing they care about is generating drama for clicks and views, and that they’re willing to trash the whole country for that?

That’s the phrase that really gives away the game, tbh. It’s all about them salivating at the opportunity to be the convention whisperers, with no conception or care for what the ramifications are for such an unprecedented series of events.

Without even taking a position on whether there's greater justification for concerns about Biden, I can't help but marvel at how very closely what the media is doing now mirrors what the media did in 2016.
