Make no mistake the news media is out for Biden's

Head

It's sickening all this will he stumble again, what if he does, his chances may be limited blah blah blah

If he takes a tough tone tomorrow he will be seen as a bully. If he plays it cool he will be seen as weak.

Just pathetic

I believe that, not the media, but many Democrats who know from his years of service, and love Biden (I am one of those), but also understand his weaknesses and his faults. I also understand that republicans will have a field day with Biden, they know him better than we do, as I see it, they want Biden to be the nominee for a few reasons.

1. They know Biden very well, they know his goods and bads, and maybe even things we don't know yet.
2. They know Biden has a tendency for wanting to be liked and thus will do almost anything to allow republicans the winning hand, as he did as a VP with "Mitch". He calls McConnell "Mitch" as if they were pals.
3. He is delusional when saying that "he can negotiate" with republicans, no he can't, not one Democrat can because republicans will not negotiate.
4. He has the ability to open his mouth and get into trouble, he did so as soon as he announced his candidacy, and he has been having to apologize and defend himself since for various gaffs.

I also think the media is trying to show Biden as the front-runner and the likely candidate to win the nomination, while many of the Democratic base doesn't believe so.

If Biden wins the nomination I will support him and vote for him, no doubt in my mind, but I hope for some other candidate, one that is more progressive and not more of the same.
