[@christopherwhull]

They got confortable with the press. The press need something to eat, and the Whitehouse stopped feeding them even the raw materials to push at the public. The fact that Harris is hated in the background makes this a classic dilemma that catches the media right in the grill all the time. The Biden Debate was the Rittenhouse trial (the myth is wrong) on fast forward, truth so clear that nobody can dance around the facts.

[@MrVenona]

Democrats and the main stream media...but I repeat myself.

[@spikeontheroad2560]

they knew. They forced this false choice between Biden and Trump hoping that "better than Trump" would be enough to win. They secretly supported Trump in 2016 as well, figuring that Clinton could easily beat him. This whole process is a joke and I feel dirty participating.

[@bellowingsilence]

As someone who still does consume that variety of media: left wing media has actually been open about this for years. They’ve just been laying the groundwork for “maybe Biden is in mental decline” versus “actually he’s fine” simultaneously the entire time. In reality, it’s been a failed experiment in trying to craft a long term narrative depending on what happens, because a lot of people just feel gaslit and confused at this point. “How could I see this coming when CNN said he was totally fine… even though they also said maybe he’s too old and maybe he’s going a little senile, but then they said he was fine, but uh… what the hell is happening.” Maybe not with that much conscious awareness, but most people have too much crap going on to try to dissect the news like that, whether they watch Fox News or CNN, or anything across the broad spectrum on either side of them. But at this point, even people just looking for an overly simplified narrative for their “side” to regurgitate like NPCs are being fed a level of cognitive dissonance that’s become so thick, I don’t know how one can actually make sense of which talking points to vomit in other people’s faces anymore. I mean… can the right still insinuate that Biden is some kind of Bond super villain while also being senile and unable to tie his own shoes anymore, when the latter part of that mind fuck dual narrative is now shown to be a statement of fact.
