Move the time around so that Trump wont know when Joe will be on, so Trump doesnt up stage Joe with more lies! Just my opinion! I listened to the Bidens on MSNBC this morning and what pleasant way to start my day! That was an awesome interview! They didnt hold back and told the truth and it heartfelt at the same time!

(11,885 posts)I switch the channel. Refusing to watch him, and now each time they do that I make it longer before I'll watch them again. Soon it will be zero, their loss. Media is playing us, so is trump.

They don't care for sanity, it doesn't capture the ratings a slow-moving train wreck does.
Plus, the people who own the media are all really rich and prefer Republicans in charge.

(48,986 posts)Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gives a 15 minute briefing in both official languages outside of his (temporary) official residence and takes phoned in questions for 15 minutes.
More effective than the Bloviator In Chief.

(2,690 posts)If St. Ronnie the Reagan hadn't killed the Fairness Doctrine we'd all be stuck listening to Joe Biden's take on the miracles Trump is performing to save our economy and save (many, but not all, of) our lives.
But thanks to that doddering old B-list actor, Trump has it all to himself and can campaign away, showing the public the very best and hardly distorted videos on his greatness and, of course, the Democrats many, many failings and socialisms.
Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)It's not like Trump hasn't been running for re-election since Jan. 2017.
Joe giving short daily news conferences touting his policies while shredding Trump into ribbons on a daily basis would certainly move the needle.
Is our news media "liberal" enough to cooperate?

(9,426 posts)gave millions of $$$ of free airtime to tRump before the election. They are partly responsible for the MESS he has caused. Time for a SANE presidential candidate now. They should call Joe the way they called the orange turd.

(14,007 posts)Covering him showing propaganda videos, whilst berating the media and denigrating reporters is of no real value.
Let him resume normal press briefings, or ignore him.

(67,782 posts)....from the news reports and snippets I've seen he's doing more harm than good for his campaign, and he's probably losing more voters every day when they see how bad he really is.

(6,137 posts)he provides them with 24/7 breaking news. He even induced pandemic by delaying response and the media is thrilled with even bigger breaking news every day if not hour. I doubt Biden can do that for them.

(6,971 posts)They have to present a clear alternative that is sound, under scrutiny. They have to prepare.
These two hour a day me-fests, are uniformed, because they are unprepared and reactive.

(14,489 posts)I would prefer a relatively neutral show with someone like Al Franken or a popular entertainment figure and have political, medical and economic experts on to talk facts and figures. It's doubtful the MSM would support a totally partisan show even though they give loads of time to the bully pulpit.
Just remember that Joe will be all over the media with campaign ads until the election and that should be enough.
I feel that would have a more broadly accepted impact on the general public........

(10,136 posts)to campaign at all, and win the election. His theory was people already know who Joe is, they like and trust him. Trump, on the other hand, is rapidly becoming the most despised man in America.
Biden did win the nomination without much money, advertising or campaign staff. He basically did it on his reputation, and the good will he's built up for many years. Why not do the same in the general election?
