I want Biden. But then I'm not 'nobody.' A body that votes.

I’m not happy with Kornacki's constant Biden bashing either.

Biden has been an excellent President. He actually cares about ‘We the people’ as opposed to the man who wants to become a dictator. (I refuse to ever use his name).

The media does a terrible job of supporting Biden's election campaign and a even worse job of reporting the craziness of Trump and his minions. The we go high when they go low has to stop! Our unwillingness to speak the truth in the media to what the Republican party, if you can call it a political party, actually has become is shameful. The polls are useless, the MAGA minions are hopeless, and the right wing media is stuffing their throats with nonsense and stealing their money!

My profile here states that I'm nobody special. I guess that makes me another nobody who is eager to vote for President Biden.

As they slide further and further into irrelevance.

I can remember when CNN actually reported the news, unbiased.

Thanks for this!

Current MSM is lazy and complicit.

They forget if Trump is reelected, he’ll get rid of the MSM.

I really appreciate the work you’re doing to uncover the bias in the media. I also suspect the polls are often inaccurate and misleading.

The problem is with all these “reporters” is that they have time to fill but not time to think. It used to be that newspapers and broadcast news outlets were on the lookout for greater audiences and that turned out to be increased income from advertisers. Maybe it’s time to convince advertisers that they need to put their feet down and demand actual reporting of real events and not baseless opinions that do nothing more than poison the minds of their audiences. That might be another outlet for the public to write to advertisers and express its dislike of such stupidity and remind them that the almighty power of the buck is on the line.

It continues to be amazing to me how these bought up media outlets are manned by incompetent and in some cases ignorant people or people who insist on appearing ignorant . Abbey Phillip came out with a ‘too cute’ comment ‘Nobody likes Trump and nobody likes Biden’. And it interests me that this ignorance abounds with the mostly ‘bought up’ media , so tell me , Joe Biden who is cast by these alleged ‘journalists’ as a too old guy , has been the most active president creating laws for progress for the people at the age of 79, but now he will suddenly melt into Trump like deluded dementia.

Because he’ll be in his early 80’s .

I think it’s Bull to believe this .

There are none of these media messes who don’t grab onto the Republican lie de jour.

The media struggles to cover candidates these days when they rely on headlines and not facts. Yes, the candidates are old. But that snippet sounded like the topic was chosen because CNN wants more “conservative” or GOP viewers. She was giving a boost to Haley by repeating one of her quips which was a false equivalency of Biden and Trump who are less alike than angels and toads.

I wonder how long Haley can get by as cute, young, smart & sassy. One big thing in her favor, she appears to love campaigning & has none of the glowering of her opponent. OTOH, She has several mannerisms that don’t come across as presidential or don’t wear well for long. Some of her material is the kind usually delivered by surrogates. She’s endorsed the policies of her opponent & her answers to questions are like jello. The pointing finger is out a lot, school teacher style. I have a feeling the GOP primary won’t last much longer if it is about one-liners between a candidate who promised to endorse the other if he wins but now says him winning would be dangerous & one who is clear about wanting submission & retribution but has more GOP support.

Neither got as high a % of the NH vote as Biden among Dems who was a write-in. 😊

“Both side-ism” makes me shiver when I think about what Trump said re: Charlottesville. Like you both pointed out, you have one fellow who is governing our country and bringing jobs and hope back, and then there’s an insane fascist who wants to tear our beloved country apart. Not hard to choose who my vote goes to. CNN is not the channel I watch because of these statements.

As to "old" one really has to look at which one has actual mental competence, and which one' s decline seems faster and more obvious.

Enough people wanted Biden to go write him in. How nice of CNN to call them "nobodies."

On a completely different topic, something I don't know. When comparing gas prices or giving their averages, do the figures include the state and local taxes on gas or just the base price? Driving in horror past your gas station may have more to do with your local authorities, not the actual price of gas.

They keep saying it and then it seems true and may even become true. They say Biden can’t do the job he’s actually doing. You may not agree with all his policies, but you can’t say the policies that don’t please you were started by an ‘old’ person.
