Not one of the Sunday morning news shows on ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN engaged in the smearing of Biden.

[Skya Rhen]

I recorded these shows earlier today (namely, ABC's This week, NBC's Meet the Press, CBS's Face the Nation and CNN's State of the Union) and watched all of them in their entirety.

They all touched on the recent CNN Poll showing Biden as the front-runner and some mentioned Jill's electability message and compared that to the messages of other candidates like Booker and Warren. Nothing beyond this, regarding Biden, was covered.

They rightly spent most of their time focusing on the effects of Trump's trade war with China, his tweets affecting the markets, and his trip to Europe for the G7 meeting.

These shows hold themselves out to be the gold standard when it comes to political reporting and I was pleased that they did the right thing, today, and lived up to what is expected of them.

1. Thx for posting skya rhen

Hope it continues

[Cha]

2. Wow.. shocking! Thanks for

the report from tv newsland, Skya!

[question everything]

3. One of them - don't remember which one - commented that Biden spends too much on his past

on his accomplishments and not enough on his policies on the future the way, I suppose, Sanders and Warren do with their freebies..

[Skya Rhen]

5. Yeah, that line was said verbatim and the analyst went no further to provide any specifics...

[oasis]

4. Good news. Thanks for posting.

6. Those who appear not to be frightened of Trump should be very concerned.

He is at the moment very irrational and unpredictable.

[missingthebigdog]

7. Care to elaborate??

I have no clue as to how this comment relates to this thread....

[Duppers]

17. Perhaps this? This is Hump's bluff...

8. KICK!

[NJCher]

9. so what are you saying?

The corporate media likes him?

[Cha]

10. Pretty sure Skya was saying..

the m$$$$media wasn't giving him the Gore/Hillary treatment today like they have been.

[highplainsdem]

11. Good news that they're being responsible!

Yesterday I caught CBS's morning show, and they brought up what Biden had said about imagining if Obama was assassinated -- but without ANY context. Then one of the hosts asked, "WHY would he say that?" and they went on to another topic.

And I wanted to bang my head against a wall.

The Five W's of journalism, as anyone who's ever taken a journalism class knows, are

Who
What
When
Where
Why

and the Why requires context.

Which journalists are supposed to provide, and they didn't, on that show.

[Cha]

12. Much of the US m$$$media

should go back to journalism school..

Thank you for that, highplainsdem!

13. To allow Dump to continue his reign of terror is too much

Even for the networks. He's not raking in the money for them anymore. People are sick of his bloated shrieking orange ass.

[mountain grammy]

14. Good to hear.

I stopped watching that crap a long time ago, but glad to hear this today. Thanks.

[True Blue American]

16. One of them had Joe Walsh on.

[mountain grammy]

19. If he is really serious about defeating trump

he'll run as an independent.

[mountain grammy]

20. Just watched it all..

I think he has real remorse. Maybe there's a human in there.

[True Blue American]

21. If Joe

Can get enough points against Trump he will lose. Finally we are getting those who do not care what Trump says about them to go after him.
If his craziness keeps getting worse some will have to take action.

His latest? Nuking a hurricane to stop it. Obama would have been rode out of town on a rail if he had said anything close.

I have started watching Face The Natin. MTP and Tapper are too predicatble. I do not stay around to watch Christie. He lies like Trump.

[Autumn]

25. Yes he has to run. Democrats are Socialists!!!

Fucking deadbeat douche.

[Hulk]

15. A bright ray of light in a world of darkness and trouble...

I know there are a LOT of bright rays out there....I just don't see them on the tv or via internet all the much. Good for them. We have to, the media and ourselves, keep focused on what really matters, and NOT the shiny object these heathens throw in front of us to distract from the shit storm we are facing.

[Hulk]

18. Hurry up and finish this primary race!!

I DO want to hear policy proposals from Joe, and all the other contenders that have ideas that are realistic and helpful for this country of ours. I was once so proud to be an American. NOT anymore. I almost feel the need to apologize to people from other countries for the damage we are doing to the world and governments around the world today, and for decades before....but especially for today.

[Scurrilous]

22. Good news!

[DrFunkenstein]

23. Setting the bar a little low, eh?

“You may like another candidate better, but you have to look at who is going to win."

That's pretty sad as rallying cries go. Especially when the latest polls have Warren and Sanders beating Trump comfortably by 7-9 points.

[Demsrule86]

24. Warren is unlikely to win a general...she will be labeled a socialist and the MFA plan will ruin her

chances. The ACA is popular not MFA where you lose your subsidized (by your employer) in many cases work place insurance And unless she can win AA support, she will not be the nominee nor should she. This is a very important Democratic constituency.

I would work my ass off for her or any nominee and send financial support too...but I don't see her attracting independent voters or winning blue wall states which we desperately need to win.

[Autumn]

26. You do know that Republicans consider ALL Democrats to be socialist?

Not just Liz and Bernie.

[DrFunkenstein]

28. Pence Already Labeled Biden a Socialist, Just Like They Labeled Obama

Anyone we put out there will be turning the country into Venezuela (notice they don't want to mention Russia anymore?).

[Hoyt]

27. Unless one is not a Biden fan. Then, the media is biased.
