Why does the media make a big deal out of Biden not getting out in public

[Kyblue1]

Would they prefer that he play golf or go to the beach. He doesn’t need to travel to battleground states for phony photo ops. He is not yet in office so he doesn’t have to make public appearances

[raging moderate]

1. Maybe he's waiting to be officially nominated.

Maybe Biden is biding his time. Maybe he is preparing carefully for the day he actually becomes the official Democratic nominee.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. What do they expect him to do? Holding a rally right now would be irresponsible.

[unblock]

3. The polls suggest whatever he's doing or not doing, it's working well.

So of course the media needs to slam him for it.

5. One more thought: let other Democrats vilify Trumpy and take his blow-back now. Saving...

future President Biden's ammunition for later after Trumpy has expended time, millions of dollars, thousands of tweets and more fighting off our attacks. Smart. Very smart.

6. The Media Wants A Horse Race

They need to take Biden down a few notches, so he doesn't flat out run away with this election, and perhaps damage the precious repub party.

I realize this is not a popular opinion around here, but I think today's media is useless. They're out for themselves, rather than the citizens of this country.

7. Corporate Media is reporting bothsiderism

and looking for a Horse Race and are following a similiar pattern as in 2016. Anything to avoid praise of any Democratic Party Candidate.

How soon we forget what and whom corporate Media is all about. All about selling the next political Ad. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic,they the Media have been taking it in the Shorts because of diminished ad revenue.

8. Because they currently lack better things to attack him with?

After all, Republicans are the party of business, and most of the MSM are owned by a handful of giant business conglomerates or wealthy conservatives. They have a job to do, death by 1000 cuts and some big stabs in the back.

Only 161 days to the elections. The RW character assassins undoubtedly have a number of fake scandals all designed and just waiting word to roll one or more out.

I noticed that Judicial Watch, which in 2015-16 kept a needy MSM provided with virtually daily fake-scandal updates to fill their 24/7, is currently (yes!) harassing Hillary Clinton over Benghazi, her server, and whatever, apparently trying to get the court to compel her to give another deposition.

Whatever. Before too long we should be seeing what Trump's campaign considers the most promising. The now-disreputable Judicial Wankers are currently only being reported by RW media, but there may be a clue in the above and also in Fox wannabe-rival OAN's "Judicial Watch: We Now Know ‘What Obama Knew & When He Knew It’ Regarding Flynn & Trump Surveillance."

Trump's such an idiot.

9. The media needs pictures.

[patphil]

10. The actuality of it is that he is the presumptive candidate.

Not yet the actual candidate.
Besides, it's too early to start a full-fledged campaign, especially during a pandemic.
August is soon enough.

11. After Biden's 40+ years in DC politics & good governance THIS is all they got? 😅

Lord knows they've tried! They created many sensational hits, the kind that worked so well with past candidates, yet with Biden they come up empty everytime.

From his son Hunter's past emoloyment, to the old reliable deviant sex scandal.

Appears they've reached the scrapings at the bottom of the barrel now.
"WHY WON'T JOE COME OUT OF HIS BASEMENT. WHAT'S JOE BIDEN HIDING?!!"



Ha! That's what they're down to?

After Biden's 40+ years in DC politics & good governance THIS is all they got?
🙄

[abqtommy]

12. The U.S. MSM plays their part of tRUMP's lapdog well... and that's bad.

[Hav]

13. Do they? Who?

Hard to imagine anyone's seriously demanding that one makes pubic appearances just for the sake of it.
There are other ways to make an impact.

14. He had the funniest video on twitter

the other day showing him quarantined and how he passed the time. Very funny. But as a private citizen, he's doing what he should be doing. Staying home. He has no official duty and ads are the way of this campaign.
