39. Credibility problem

The Biden should resign drumbeat was getting pretty relentless. Biden didn't resign, he dropped out of the race, endorsing his VP, and completely upending the board.

Things are now really awkward for the press. Biden is still president, and will be until Jan 20, 2025. I think they were expecting that Biden would either resign from office completely or stick it out, get hammered at the convention come out trying to lead a divided coalition, and would lose to Trump because of a dispirited electorate. He did neither of those, instead paving the way for his protege to take his delegates. I am sure that in two weeks, we'll hear new complaints "Her voice is too shrill, she's too bossy, yadda yadda," but the press (and the deep pockets) were caught with their pants between their ankles, and they are now facing a very different reality.

Their credibility is shot. Worst thing you can do to the media. If people don't believe you're honest and unbiased (whatever that definition may mean to them), they will walk, and people are abandoning the media they no longer trust. This is going to force some serious editorial meetings, and that's going to throw them into disarray for a bit.
