What is with the fucking MSM bashing Biden to the end?

If these motherfuckers had done their fucking jobs instead of slavishly licking Motherfucker's taint since the day he fled the scene on Jan. 20th, 2021, we wouldn't be here.

Fuck all of the MSM and the worthless oxygen-thieving motherfuckers who own it.

They just showed him going to court every day (too much so, in my opinion, he was never out of the news).

Meanwhile, Biden's infrastructure bill was taking effect nationwide, alliances were being strengthened, Americans were being pulled out of debt, and the price of drugs was starting to be contained. All of that should have been trumpeted from the rooftops by the press, but zilch.

I am not sure what blame the media or don't blame the media means exactly.

Job one for us on the Left, including the politicians we support, is to prevent what is happeig right now - at all costs, whatever it takes. Nothing else matters. We have failed. We can blame the voters, or not, blame the media, or not, whatever.

We would have won if...

We would have won if it wasn't for the MSM.
We would have won if it wasn't for social media.
We would have won if it wasn't for AM radio.
We would have won if it wasn't for Citizens United.
We would have won if it wasn't for inflation.
We would have won if it wasn't for racism.
We would have won if it wasn't for misogyny.
We would have won if it wasn't for voters being stupid.
We would have won if it wasn't for the Supreme Court.

All of those obstacles were known ahead of time, and all of them took decades to develop to the point they are at now.

Overcoming those obstacles is the job. We failed.

I know the press were not kind to FDR during his first campaign, and I know the press has always supported wealthy titans after all, they owned the press.

The Fairness Doctrine provided a balance to the extent that we would consider fair.
But in the late 90's the rules and regs were thrown out under Clinton and by the time 2000 elections rolled around the fix was in, Fairness ship long since sailed and one by one, big media Moguls started gobbling up one network after another and the rest is history.
every single one is owned by the Uber wealthy elite, whose entire agenda is the same club as the convicted felon psychopath they installed twice.

On the whole their attacks on who was one the finest Presidents in American history was
shameful and it was an across the board attack too. A local classic rock station in the town
of Newark, OH about 30 miles east of Columbus ran commercials all the time that led into the
body of the ad saying, “Is Bidenomics hurting you?” And then they talked some kind of reduced
price for their good and or service. Never mind that thanx to Joe Biden’s Chips Act a new multi
million dollar silicone chip plant is being built there and that the American economy was #1 in
the world.

It is not just now but it started with the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Nothing is never ever the media’s fault is similarly important.

Nonetheless, they who bear the most blame for our current predicament along with the insults and lies flying at democratic public servants are all of the Supreme Court of the United States.

This all began when Chief Justice John Roberts decided to legalize corruption with the decision in Citizens United.

The Supreme Court delaying the criminal cases against the gop dear leader by over one year helped as well.

Can you imagine? Joe Biden gave his all. Got a ton of stuff done and he was not only abandoned but ridiculed.

The press knew/knows there will be no pushback.

And on the other side is the opposite. They don’t say a word about Trump! Because they’ll have to answer to his choir of ass kissers. And that list is growing.

They have no morals. They have no self respect. And they do NOT GIVE A SHIT about anything or anyone since they are ruled by power, greed and hypocrisy. And they also sleep very, very well at night.

Mon Jan 20, 2025, 11:17 AM

Everyone could see that Biden was never acceptable to the Media and monied interests because he wasn't "Entertaining". With a capital E. He wasn't going to spend half his time at a podium making quips or sitting down at hour long interviews "making a case" for his policies with "journalists" more interested in gossiping at DC cocktail parties with glitterati. Nor was he throwing any bone to Media owners or the glitterati in his policies.
Because he was a scrappy working class kid from Scranton who had been through hell and back, he showed that no matter what he did before as a Washington insider, once he got in charge, he wasn't going to help the Establishment very much. And in their race to a ponderous Guilded Age past run by short-sighted wealthy idiots and plagiarist Nepo-Babies, the Establishment needs to bury the stake in his heart to prove they aren't going to put up with another potential FDR or Harry Truman from anyone in the future.

The REAL media (unlike fake Fox and its friends) aren't a cheering section. They will report facts. That said, the judgment of some editors has me shaking my head sometimes at the miniscule things that seem to be allowed for news stories. Still, real news is not a cheering section. Don't blame the media for the election. Blame the RW propaganda of Fox and things like Elon's lottery, which was a gimmick to buy votes. The media didn't cast (or not cast) the votes. It was a vastly uninformed public that did that.

Right now the real media needs our support more than ever. We need to buck against the propaganda of Fox and friends. That means everyone.
