Just looking at the headline at cnn.com (which I won't post - I don't want to give them clicks), I

suppose we should have been aware that Biden wouldn't only be facing opposition from republicans, but also from much of the media. That headline today is just one more example that the media misses the daily drama of he who I won't mention. It is not about the welfare of us - the public, or the country. It is ONLY - solely - about profit and money.

I am beyond disgusted. We are so, so, so screwed.

I hate the whole “Karen” thing, but it seems to now apply to the media and press corps. I am waiting for them to demand to speak…to the manager.

most other matters.

A lot of people appear to think the media should coverup reporting on the Afghanistan mess. At least Biden, unlike TFG, is not blasting the media or directly asking them to coverup.

It started in the primary when they sneered at Joe Biden...and as far as I am concerned their reporting is rightwing and I have no interest.
