I get the feeling the media is out of gas on Biden and beginning to slack off

[Jersey Devil]

The current media hits on Joe consist of breathless reports of anonymous "sources" who say Joe should drop out. That's really stretching it out so maybe it will calm down over the next few days. Besides, the Repub convention will be starting soon so there will be plenty of dirt for the media to shovel and outscoop each other.

[RainCaster]

1. "We found another Democrat who thinks Joe is old"

Nah, the MSM will keep beating this drum until the election is over. They will be on the constant lookout for a junior Democrat who wants his name in the press, and is willing to say anything traitorous to get that shot at the Sunday morning media fiasco.

[Jersey Devil]

4. yeah, you're right

I guess I am getting pretty desperate in my hopes we can stop the bleeding. But chin up! Maybe Trump will trip over his dick again soon.

[OMGWTF]

20. Like Mark Warner, Democratic senator from VA

Get on board the Biden train or STFU.

[Hugin]

2. There's going to be a lull while the pundits are trying to...

Figure out why Trump being all over the Epstein papers is “bad for Biden”.

Then, it’s off to the horse races again.

[Blue Full Moon]

40. Yep

Biden has been a distraction to bury the the Epstein papers and Trump's involvement. Trump the pedophile needs to be the focus and how he is not fit for office.

[mucifer]

3. You aren't seeing what I am seeing. Also

Many of President Biden’s wealthy donors are deciding not to donate.

This is what is happening.

[Jersey Devil]

7. Only story I read about donors was yesterday

when I read a report that one of Biden's wealthy donors just gave an additional $400,000 to show her support for Biden.

[mucifer]

This is what is happening it sucks But I don’t think we should pretend its not happening.

[shrike3]

12. Time for Jeffrey Katzenberg to beat the bushes for more, somewhere else.

Article I read a couple weeks ago said he is quietly behind the scenes, drumming up support for Joe.

[mucifer]

16. A lot of change has happened in the last couple of weeks. It's reality.

[shrike3]

17. I am just bringing up Mr. Katzenberg as another funding option.

Especially since he given no indication of jumping on the Dump Joe express.

[onecaliberal]

46. I'm sorry, but that is not a legit source.

[Elessar Zappa]

36. That doesn't mean he'll drop out.

If the wealthy stop donating, it’s up to us in the grassroots to puck up the slack. He made $27 million in the two days after the debate from small-time donors alone. So we can sustain him.

[Traurigkeit]

38. Why believe in propaganda ?

mucifer ?

[onecaliberal]

45. Can you provide links to what you're seeing?

[mucifer]

50. You didn't see post number 8

[onecaliberal]

51. Yes, but known fascist networks making shit up isn't a legit source for me.

[Quiet Em]

5. Howard Dean said that this will blow over in 10 days

He said that the attention of the media is short. Today is day 10. I hoping today is their last push on this. It makes zero sense to try to force President Biden off the ticket. Only a handful of people are trying to. I think the President has the overwhelming backing of the party.

[Model35mech]

42. ARRRRRRRRRrhRrhRrhRghrghrghrgh! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Predicting this is a summer storm? Just shows why Howard got it wrong.

What we are seeing is that 8 days in the creeks are rising because people like Stphanopoulus keep opening flood gates.

This isn't a natural act, it has a human cause.

[Quiet Em]

58. Yeah, Dean made a subtle reference to that incident

with a smile.

I understand your point. You never know what the public will latch onto. The Dean scream however was during a primary, it was not a Presidential election and certainly not one of this magnitude.

I still believe this will pass.

[DFW]

6. Even if they are out of gas

That won’t stop them from turning the key a hundred times, each time thinking that next time, the engine will start.

[shrike3]

10. You got it.

[CTyankee]

55. Huh? I haven't turned a key to start a car for years...but I remember when I did...

[waterwatcher123]

9. Not on Huffington Post

I keep writing to tell them their entire headline section needs to be corrected. They are breathlessly manufacturing stories about Joe Biden's fitness for office. Maybe the 8% stake in Buzzfeed's ownership (Huffington Post parent company) by Vivek Ramaswamy has something to do with it.

[sunnybrook]

13. I have been seeing the breathless Huffpost headlines

Did not know about that asshole having a stake. Thank You

[Jersey Devil]

14. Yeah, saw that

They've gotten so bad they could easily be mistaken for Drudgereport.

[List left]

21. Huff and puff

I gave up on Huffington post long ago

[onecaliberal]

47. Your mad that a reicht wing rag won't defend POTUS?

They’ve all shown their ass. They’re making shit up. There is nothing they write that should be believed by anyone.

[totodeinhere]

48. I used to like Huffington Post but I don't read them anymore.

With friends like that who needs enemies?

[XanaDUer2]

11. I hope

But they still seem to be harping on it

[LisaL]

15. Republican convention is coming up soon.

They will have something new to harp about.

[Paladin]

18. Never underestimate the NY Times Biden Hate Machine.

There's a bottomless pit of anti-Biden venom, at what used to be a high-quality liberal news source. New shit, every day. Lo, how the mighty have fallen...

[JustAnotherGen]

19. Anonymous Sources

Are a bunch of b.s.

[WiVoter]

22. Anonymous Equals Republican Cultists

[BradBo]

23. Yes, Trump is back sitting on his fat ass and scaring away voters with his texting on Truth Social.

The world is rebalanced.

[oasis]

24. "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

[Jersey Devil]

25. Meaning what? Abandon ship?

I have no idea what your point is.

[oasis]

30. I'm sticking with Biden. Look quote up

under U.S. History, David Farragut.

[Jersey Devil]

33. duh, my mistake

I initially thought you were being critical of me for wanting to forge ahead with Biden. Maybe I should clean my glasses.

[oasis]

39. No problem, metaphors be with you.

[ecstatic]

26. Every time I tune in it's the only topic being discussed

And it really freaks me out.

In 2021, I never thought trump could end up in the white house again. I cannot believe we're here right now.

[Ocelot II]

27. The media have the attention span of kittens.

Toss them a new sparkly ball and they'll be off in another direction. There will always be new news.

[Turbineguy]

28. Well, there is the next shiny object to draw their attention.

The cease fire that trump negotiated.

Oh wait.

[4139]

29. 180 degrees opposite. The Washington press corps does not hit people when they are up...

... but will brutally kick them forever when they’re down. They will continue to kick Biden until someone else comes along they can kick

[hay rick]

31. As long as they smell blood...

Almost without exception the media organizations have shown their true colors. When the choice comes down to democracy versus predatory capitalism, they are not with us. They have been constructing and pushing a unified narrative.

[spooky3]

32. Have you seen today's WaPo? Multiple articles on the topic. Nt

[Jersey Devil]

34. Yes but the stories are getting weaker

Most of the new stories quote "anonymous sources" which, of course, no one can either prove or disprove. What's next, maybe messages from God saying Biden should drop out?

[Mossfern]

43. What if there are conflicting messages

from different gods?

Judging from similar iterations of the Golden Rule in various religions and philosophies, I'd assume that
the vast majority would demand that Joe stay in the race.

[Jersey Devil]

44. Maybe an oracle could straighten out the confusion (nt)

nt

[Boomerproud]

56. Weaker? Okay.

[Blue Owl]

37. Dark Brandon is surviving this attack

And exposing everyone who we need to keep an eye on that would help elect the convicted criminal

[Traurigkeit]

41. The President Biden Administration has saved this country since 2021.

The people gathered by Joe Biden actually care and are not afraid to take hits and shots.

They get up and continue the work our country NEEDS.

Slow and difficult subjects to get through all the "Republicans" bent on destroying this country.

Wish everyone that can vote considers those issues.

[flamingdem]

57. Silver lining is the exposure of opportunistic dems

The worst of the bunch want to assure their victory or at least their paycheck should the turd l'orange win.

[h2ebits]

49. The media won't stop banging this drum. We need to drown them out

We need to actually break down the facts into small sound bytes and shove it at people in all venues of social media and news sources outside what is considered the standard media. We need to make the facts relatable to the common person on the street. Over and over again.

Such as:
People need to hear how Biden tackled inflation at the granular level. As an example: They need to know how he sold off a lot of our oil reserve to keep OPEC from raising prices on gas to all of us. (In so doing, Biden also raised $100s of thousands in revenue.)

The Infrastructure bill means nothing to most all of us because we know nothing about it. Every project that has started needs at least one large billboard with it and have Biden's and the Democratic Party's name attached to the project. We should also have "Coming soon. . . ." billboards, as well.And again, constant bombardment on social media. We need to force radio ads on the popular radio stations in rural areas so people have something to talk about besides the hate message that is being jammed into their brains..

For infrastructure projects such as Internet access, flood the airwaves of radio and tv, as well as small local newspapers.

Social media is our friend and should be fully used to spread the word.

The Democratic Party and the Democrats in office and running for office in each state, should be utilizing all venues available in rural areas--small local newspapers, etc. to take the message directly to the people who vote. Subtle but constant messages in small sound bytes that always include Biden's name.

[FloridaBlues]

52. Don't think the media is at that point to stop piling on

In fact it’s just beginning wait until this week when congress is in town.
Perhaps the media at large will be focused for a few days next week when the dog and pony convention show up. Which will be a nice glossy version of lies.

[ImNotGod]

53. They are grasping at straws now and all Dem politicians must be veeeeery careful what they say about this subject

and is best they say nooothing. They caught Rep Adam Schiff in the latest trap which just keeps their narrative alive.

[Jersey Devil]

54. I am disappointed and think Adam could have done a lot better

I think the standard answer to media questions about Biden's age should be as Earl G suggests in his post when he says they should all respond by insisting that it should be Trump who must resign and turn the tables on them.
