(13,741 posts)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.
