Maybe the best thing about the recent Joe Biden "relelation"...
is that it will finally wean people off the legacy mainstream media.
People have known for years what the press just learned in last week's debate: Joe Biden is scripted, and his weaknesses hidden by DC insiders, including the press.
I read a few weeks back, someone making the point that -- to "beat" Trump -- the press needed to act the way they did back during World War II, hiding the fact that Franklin Rooseelt could not walk and needed physical assistance to the degree he did. Honestly...
Their hatred for Donald Trump (too many New York reporters he had "pasts" with and had personally insulted apparently for decades before being elected president; they had baggage immense...) led them to lie to themselves, and us, about Joe Biden's condition too.
The young people (those raised after Jon Stewart's parady news show on Comedy Central) never replied on a TV news hour, or a daily read. The new "digital subscribers" are in it for their Wordle and other assorted daily puzzles, their recipes (nttawwt) and their graphics features, or celebrities exposés,
As the American people continue to cleanse DC of the "old guard", I predict our idea that mainstream news tells us what we need to know going on in the world today and informs us as citizens will pass away too. That news model is dead, we've just been in denial for a long time about it.
