Eric Boehlert on media's "chronic attempt to find problems for Dems"

Three-tweet thread starting here, in reaction to a NYT story that Iowa is Biden's "weakness":








when you lead in every Iowa poll and it’s yr “weakness”







my tweet isn’t abt Biden, btw. it’s abt press’ chronic attempt to find problems for Dems




punchline: Biden leading Trump by as many as 13 pts in some key swing states....NYT focuses on "weakness"






While Boehlert (previously of Media Matters) says his tweet isn't about Biden, and he's right that the media tend to overemphasize Dems' problems, the current target of that media is Biden.



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
