"But...but...but what about Biden???"

So this is apparently going to be the next 4-5 months of media coverage of the 2024 “live free or die“ campaign for the presidency.

These outright morons in the press, and I am only saying that they’re not imbeciles because they to an extent can read and write, are going to give us the equivalent of the “red wave” for the foreseeable future. How people like Jonathan Lemire and his cohorts on supposedly liberal MSNBC will be telling us about the inevitability of the Democrats flaming out and the near-certainty of the Trump return to autocratic power.

On the one hand, they decry the felonious behavior of this pure sociopath, but on the other hand, they are thrilled by it because it gives them unending material and controversy. For them the problem with the Biden administration is that there’s not been enough red breaking news chyrons on the bottom of their screens, and thus less viewership. Ya gotta stop pressing that channel change button when you see that red there!

Oh, here’s the best part: after Biden wins, from my lips to G-d’s ears, after the initial “shock“ they will begin to discuss his lame duck presidency, and how this is a perfect opportunity for Republicans to retake all three branches of government. That clearly, Biden was the last real Democrat, and the rest are just amateurs, and although you have to hand it to him for winning, it’s a last gasp. I virtually guarantee you this will be the order of business with these idiots.

As an aside, I was associated with a professional sports team in Philadelphia as their “official“ dentist, because the individual who purchased my practice paid a fortune annually for this “privilege“. When someone makes the remark “it’s all about the money“, that’s not quite true. It should read: “it’s ONLY about the money, and absolutely nothing else.“ And when I say, only, I mean only…. nothing, and I mean nothing else matters in these arenas. I believe that’s how it is in media and advertising dollars are everything, and I mean everything. they have to figure ways of obtaining viewership, and they have a plan… The question is, will this plan work this time? Lucy and the football.

the Magat beat down yesterday, they read from teleprompters.

Sooner or later they should be talking about Magats speeding the country into a shutdown.

They will play that he's being "too partisan" because he doesn't roll over for the Republicans.

So I wouldn't be too hopeful that the Biden-hating in the MSM will subside.

People will forget the election results within a few news cycles. Sad, but true.

And they will dump a new round of rigged polls and have more grist for the mill.

And they will draw more eyes and get more media reaction and sell more ads. And they will get big bonuses and bigger contracts next cycle.

And they don't see the end of the tracks coming at them if tiny wins again. there will be no free press. only russia style national teevee, and they won't be getting 7 or 8 figure salaries any more because any blonde who can please an editor can read the copy.

Sure, the sets will be glitzy, and the viewership guarenteed, but every channel will have the same content and every show will look the same to viewers. Everybody will be a star and nobody will stand out.

This is what they are selling us into.
