I did not intend to post for another week or two, but this current top headline on the NBC News website floored me.
"One of the great tragedies of American politics: Biden ends 5 decades in public life.”
I just emailed them this response.
“After just two years, presidential historians had already ranked Biden #14. Fortunately historians do not pay any attention to polls or bullshit headlines like this one. Biden’s initiatives will benefit this country for years to come, and historians care more about the long-term.
The Trump state media-verse owns the news today. Your relevancy is tanking. And this is your headline? Trump could have written it. Except he would have said ‘Sleepy Joe.’ And you would have printed it.
You and others pummeled Biden over his age. Next Monday, Trump will take the oath as the oldest ever to take the oath. Suddenly, you do not care about age.”
Within the story is this: “The Joe Biden story is one of the great tragedies of American politics. I really mean that. He should be having a glorious, well deserved, highly acclaimed retirement. And he’s not,” veteran Democratic political strategist James Carville said. “It’s hard to blame anybody but him.”
There is not enough profanity in my vocabulary for how I feel about Carville.
Yesterday, a CNN headline gave equal credit to both Biden and Trump teams for the Middle East ceasefire.
This is our corporate media. Biden warned of an oligarchy. We are already there, and the heads of the corporate media are part of it.
