Republican Congressman: “I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed a known neo-Nazi.

Sig!

The Venn Diagram of people who thought History was the most boring class in high school and people who display gross ignorance about current events is a completely solid circle.

Also, 20% in five years is going to be barely under 4% a year. This whole post is just an innumerate person assuming an innumerate audience.

Can the St. Louis Cardinals do this, please? I'm not going to wear a red hat ever again.

 

last time I was in Cooperstown, I picked up two vintage style hats modeled on the ones worn in the 30s and 50s: a blue one with a red bill and “St. L.”, and an all blue one with a red bird where the letters are on the typical Cardinal hat. Here’s the first one worn by some other guy who lived in Pennsylvania for awhile

 

Biden knows where to find the voters he needs. Podcasts attract a younger audience than legacy media. Besides the publications mentioned barely mention Biden’s accomplishments and try and normalize trump. Why on earth would he give them an opportunity to do more of that.

The problem is that you no longer ask good questions.

The press has become a never-ending quest for click bait & rage bait because the internet broke your business model and you have no clue how to deal with it.

You've optimized incorrectly

My understanding is that Jane Mayer is good friends with Susan Glasser and Both Sides Baker.
That is what is clouding her judgment.
(also, WSJ is Murdoch owned, WaPo's new publisher is a former Murdoch henchman and we all know how horrible the NYT's political reporting is)

The Biden era offered up the chance to go back. With big stories hopeful and tragic and complex happening far from Twitter and DC.

Instead you kept the millionaire stenographers, infotainers and talking heads whose only prism is DC gossip and the endless horserace.

Imagine waking in the morning after the first week of Trump’s criminal trial

And making this comment

Imagine thinking you’re so important that it matters to the voters that Biden make the media happy.

As if he could.

I mean, it would be nice if the President of the United States of America was smart and articulate enough to speak with reports. But I know that ship sailed long ago.

 

Jan 2017? Biden has a stammer and has lost a step. But he was not his entire life a mindless moron like Trump.

 

You really buy into the senile thing, don't you?

Nonetheless, most of the mainstream outlets are clueless about a lot of things. All Biden would get is questions about his sons (Seriously, Hur can rot in hell for that comment), his age (We get it), and little to nothing about his policies and achievements. These are the same group of people who freaked out when Obama wouldn't give Fox News the time of day.

These people don't want to be political reporters, they want to be gossip columnists while also being viewed as bishops. And a lot of them either wish it was still 1984 or 2004.

 

Beat me to it. But it is not only that most of the MSM reporters are useless, it is also that people doesn't consume media in the way was done before cable and streaming. Most people don't care about politics for 47 months and then, they make a decision based on very narrow information, or they had made that decision since they were 18. Yes, off course we have different people segments that could still change their minds, but at the same time, Biden probably won't be able to reach those unicorns by doing a one hour sit down with David Muir. 2 minute tik tok videos work a lot better if you ask me.

 

Absolutely.

In living memory, we've had senile Biden, dumbshit Trump, barely literate W, and Alzheimer's Reagan. It just feels like we should, as a nation, promote our smartest people to the presidency instead of these clowns. Chester A Arthur, the nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

 

Senile? Really?

I mean the guy is old, sometimes fumbles his words or misspeaks, but there's absolutely no reason to think he doesn't know what's going on. If you want to say his policies and direction are crap and don't like the direction the country is headed, fair enough, but this is a tan-suit level of disingenuousness.

And given the binary system we have in this country it's a matter of Biden or dictatorship and chaos. Is there really any other option?

It's better to have 80 years behind you than 91 indictments in front of you.
