It's driving the cable talking heads crazy that Biden is so far ahead.

[redstateblues]

At this point, they have no horse race to pump up ratings. About 90% of them are saying "Just wait, he'll crash" or "one of these other candidates will catch fire" or "once people find out about the Anita Hill thing" or yada yada yada. They don't have much to talk about. It's groundhog day on MSNBC- even on Nicole's show which I usually watch.

1. I have always like Biden but I hope he ramps up his efforts on Climate Change. No time for rhetoric.

2. Not a far trip

("...driving the cable talking heads crazy" )

3. The media likes a pissing match.

They are not above ginning up “chaos in the party, or one candidate “slamming” another.

4. Well, I've seen posts claiming the media is pushing Biden, which makes his nos. high.

It can't be both...they're giving him so much air time and hawking him, so that his numbers are so much higher than the others..or they're going crazy in misery that he's so far ahead.

This could get a gal confused!

5. That's what I heard too. Maybe they just didn't know what to say about him today? nT

6. If the field is pared down soon by a lot, they will

switch to a fevered pitch about a possible (they hope for) brokered convention.

7. The mouths run, but the tongues just spittle.

Even some of our better media figures today ....

8. It's driving some here crazy

Notice the posting and reposting of fake stories attacking Biden,
or what he said 30+ years ago?

Biden attacks Trump,
while some here keep attacking Biden (mostly supporters of 2 candidates).

9. I watched a bit of 'Kacie D.C.' recently

talking about the Dem primary, and it was some of the most cliche-ridden, obtuse and worthless political programming I've ever seen. It was drivel. The talking heads spouting cliche after cliche, making declarative statements that were practically obsolete by they time they finished their sentences. It was brutal. I don't know why anyone takes any of it seriously.

10. Good to know.. they're

so predictable anyway.

11. Media companies are desperate

They need viewers for TV shows and readers for websites, but all of those are going down.

In 2016 they promoted the false story that Bernie was close to Hillary but he never really was.

Look for them to try to make the Dem. primaries seem closer than they are. They don't care if they reelect Trump, so long as they get high ratings (more profits).

12. Keep our eyes on the prize!!

and it is recovering our government..

13. More Biden Triumphalism

[brooklynite]

14. Any evidence? Citations?

[cwydro]

15. I've not heard any of that.

Guess we watch different stations.

I check in with CNN, NPR, MSNBC, and frequently catch local news. Not seeing that.
