Right now in the WH / media press conference, the media is attacking !!!

They are such a bunch of discriminatory jackals !!! Age Discrimination !!

I am not surprised. At 74 years of age, I expect I will soon get treated in a disrespectful manner due to age.

We need to FULLY support President Biden in my opinion and stop this infernal whining. We dems need backbone,

I am woman....

I mean .... I am Democrat, hear me roar !!! Thanks to Helen Reddy.

outside of Washington. It irritates me when each network zeros in on their reporter asking a question already asked by someone else, just so they can use it in the evening news. Plus the whole thing is like a feeding frenzy. I’m done with it.

I figured it would blow over and the press would be on to the next shiny thing. But in the past 24/48 hours it seems to have intensified what with actual Democratic office-holders expressing concern. I'd still bet it won't happen, but that feeing is maybe at 70/30 at this point.

The press isn't the one that makes those kinds of decisions.

I can remember Sam Donaldson stating with outmost certainty that Bill Clinton would be stepping down in a week. What happened then?

Donald Trump fucked a 12 year old after he made her perform sex with another 12 year old girl.

Are they asking HIM anything about that?

This is beyond absurd. Biden needs to stand firm and let these assholes wear themselves out.

because they've likely had their jobs threatened by the string pullers at the highest levels who realize they can expect the enforcement of antitrust laws in a second Biden term. If the media giants are busted up, it will be less convenient to control them so the gentlemen of the press regard a second Biden term with horror.

I'm glad the assholes are terrified. Eventually, that terror is going to turn to anger and I doubt that anger will be turned on Biden, especially since he's disposed to fight back.

The only appropriate answer to anyone who asks him if he's dropping out of the race is "are you out of your alleged mind?"

I hope Biden makes that response. He needs to.
