I have a bad feeling about why the press is dumping on Biden and not on Trump.

[Girard442]

Like it or not, there is a significant chance Trump will be in the Oval Office in 2025. If he is, he'll take revenge on anyone he saw as being against him during campaign 2024. If Biden, on the other hand gets in, he probably won't do that.

The press is hedging their bets. Logical, but chickenshit.

[viva la]

1. He'll take revenge on anyone no matter what. He's completely impulsive and vindictive.

I think the MSM wants the circus aspect that keeps their ratings high. Trump is a guaranteed ratings explosion. I think they, like the GOP, don't look past 2025 and see the utter destruction Trump has planned for the country.

2. This. The press aren't in the tank for Trump. They're in the tank for themselves.

Money and excitement.

[Silent Type]

3. Maybe. But they are already on trump's retribution list. I think they want Democrats to win, it's just the news right

now is not particularly encouraging. I suppose they could hide the bad news, but that doesn't seem right either.

As Biden gets out more, and trump crawls out of his hole, the news will return to trump like it was during his rape, fraud and pornstar bonking trials.

4. The idea is never give the press news to give.

Their job is to report news. Don’t give them any.

[Think. Again.]

5. I have a FUCKING GREAT feeling about Joe Biden as President for 8 years!

Go Dark Brandon, GO!!! 🌊 !!!

6. Significant? Meh. Maybe a bit overstated.

It’s still a toss-up atm. I agree, however. It’s open-season on his enemies first and foremost.

7. If that is the case

they are in the wrong business.

8. Some media owners / elitists have conceded democracy.

They see the complicated road ahead and want an empire. The comparison is Rome.They know their history. Rome had an elite male form of democracy. When life got too complex, the elite supported the conversion to empire. Julius Caesar was crowned the first of many, some not so bad and some hideous.

Our formal interpretation of Roman history focuses on the fall of the Roman Empire, not the fall of Roman democracy because the elite educated class in Europe wrote history in their image. They prized empire and mourned its loss just as they later tried to hang onto their monarchies. They did not spend their energy mourning Roman democracy.

There is a reason much of our elite and their enablers are spending their money and energy trying to destroy public eduction

There are reasons Sulzberger and Joe Kahn of the New York Times have shifted away democracy. The Black Lives Matter movement, along with the Me Too movement, and other signs of plebeian discontent must be scary in view of climate change and the now obvious fragility of our planet.

Fortunately we have spent our few centuries so far building up public education, and fortunately not all of our monied elite are running away from democracy.

9. A few democrats showed weakness

And because of it, it became a feeding frenzy.

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Yes they opened the door for this and the gop media kicked it wide open and is pouring in.

[Fullduplexxx]

10. That's the problem with dems too many get bad feelings over everything

And once again dems will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory ... sometimes I wonder if dems want to win or have the loss to bitch about .

[senseandsensibility]

12. Threats and bullying work on the press

It did during his tenure too, but they almost seem MORE afraid of him now. In fact, that's one big reason we're in this situation and in danger of losing our democracy.
