Trump is committing text book genocide but lets focus on "gaffes" !? Come on MSM !!

Democrats need to do a better job a working the refs (aka the news media) and calling them out on their crap like this.

Their priorities sometimes seems to be gaining points among their community of influence vs reporting important stuff.

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

in the race, Biden maintains a double digit lead in the polling.

This does sit well with the media who wants a horse race with a photo finish.

So... time to attack the leader with whatever they have... I mean pretty soon it will be a "tan suit" after labor day!

Biden has the most experience in the White House and Senate. He will immediately have an experienced Cabinet. He will start undoing trump's executive orders that are hurting our country big time. I just don't get why folks don't want Biden who has the highest poll ratings right now. If he picks a woman VP candidate to run with, we will have a winning ticket. Americans are slow to accept women leaders. Having a woman VP will move things forward for women big time.

of the Gaffe/Outrage du Jour. On MSNBC. The discussion right now is how Biden's campaign is defending the story, its truthful SUBSTANCE though the details were skewed.

Maybe the press should discuss the merits of substance vs style or of how any of us would do with a microscopic analyses of our every word and thought. And as pointed out in this op-ed, weigh the significance of Biden's latest, so-called gaffe against the the horror show of the Trump Administration where real people are being injured and dismissed.

Or is this another attempt to rev up the energy/outrage for the next debate? Because eyeballs mean money.

I fear we haven't learned a damn thing since 2016!
