"Welcome BACK to August" I was going to say....
Before Afghanistan happened (just leaving that alone) it looked like an old traditional month of August at least in terms of DC. Congress is completely out of session, the POTUS was going on an extended vacation, basically nothing was happened in terms of news. At least political news.
Oh and you probably noticed the void of nonsense and attention seeking from the former guy. He used to have the stage to himself...or at least he stayed in the camera lens during the daily COVID show.
Yes COVID is still a topic of discussion on two of the news networks. Yes the CRISIS at the border is still the only thing happening on Fox (other than their grave concern for the people of Chicago). But not much else. This is the “dead period” sports talk radio hates.
Then...Afghanistan. It’s new and on camera and fully saturated the news coverage and really it should. Earthquake in Some poor country? Who wants to go there?!?! The planets on fire? Eh, no good footage there.
The point here is that the media has red meat and is desperate to get a good horse race going for next years midterms.
