Still, the condescension regarding the vice president [View all]

[BaronChocula]

Yes, perhaps it's my fault for turning on MSNBC, but I do enjoy parsing biased messages and they give ample opportunity for that.

On Friday I believe Ari (I know many can't stand him) had on Carville (I know many can't stand him either). Carville who had been vocal about concerns of Biden's age was now vocal over concerns about the excitement over VPOTUS' de facto nomination. Instead of reflecting on the excitement as a positive, he suggested that the campaign was so drunk on joy that they would be unprepared for vicious Republican attacks to come. "Duh icepicks ahh comin'" he said as if VP Harris who has been called a DEI hire since long before we knew the rapist crapped his pants with regularity, is completely unaware of how the party of white nationalists work.

Of course, how would Carville know how the campaign and the party are preparing as he just sits in front of his computer waiting for a spot on Ari. I was quite disappointed. I know there must have been a time when Carville knew that excitement around a campaign was literally money in the bank, but that Carville is gone apparently. He complained about Biden dragging down the party's chances and now he's complaining about excitement over the new nominee. I thought perhaps he's selectively remembering how the Harris campaign went in 2019, but this ain't 2019 and she now has the entire party operation behind her. Not to mention her capacity for growth. There's still time for Carville to get on board. Not holding my breath.

Then on Saturday MSNBC did a cute little report on what this black woman needs to do to get the acceptance of white republicans who won't vote for Trump (my framing of the segment). There were comments from nerver-trumpers like "one thing I don't like about her is I don't know anything about her." WTF? Another commenter said "if she chose a running mate like Liz Cheney I'd support her." WTF? Never gonna happen.

That was the "cross-section" of never-trumpers they spoke with. They didn't talk to any republicans who have already committed to voting for the Democrat in this cycle of which there are definitely enough to find for comment. I wanted to puke. It was a segment that seemed to have no purpose than to drag VPOTUS.

As I explained at the top, I enjoy parsing lousy coverage that's tainted with hidden bias. I'll be back watching tomorrow I'm sure.
