Like, yes, ok, the media owns some of this. But also ... if you have a campaign, literally any of those are gigaquake events to change the tide and frame what you're going to do and take that message to the voters, and how exactly is it the campaign can't capitalize on it? That's the issue
Dems (esp. Biden) are imho having a hard time putting court reform front and center because they never acted after setting up a Presidential commission on SCOTUS reform in 2021 that dropped its report the same year.
This is why "Biden not running would help Trump win" has totally evaporated as a compelling argument. Even if the debate itself was recoverable, and I doubt it ever was, he's shown his team has no clue what they're doing and no credible plan to fix it.
I think it's a category error to say that the media only owns "some" of this. It's become blisteringly clear to me that pretty much all of the "liberal" media has joined the NYT's campaign to drum Biden out of office no matter what.
Even my wife has noticed that this is the NYT's policy.
