The Press IS reporting on Trump’s craziness - but the public can’t digest it because Biden has created a big target on himself. It’s Biden’s fault not the press.

Blaming "the media" & Bill Kristol for the Democratic Party's failure to have a slate of younger, more vigorous candidates lined up months ago does no good. It may feel great to rant, but Bill told us months ago that Joe probably wasn't the best one to take on Trump again. We all (including me) just ignored him, because he used to be a Republican.
But maybe Bill Kristol had taken the time to look up all 23 sitting Democratic Governors - some so popular that they're in their second terms! And some are governing in "must-win" states, like Mich, Pa & Wisc. Bill probably saw some great potential that the rest of us missed. That's on us & the Democratic Party, not Bill or the media.
I can honestly tell you that I had never heard of Jimmy Carter, the Governor of Georgia, or William Clinton, the young Governor of Arkansas, before either man threw his hat in the ring.
gotta say that as great as he has been as gov in wisconsin - not sure anyone would call Gov Tony Evers charismatic :) so I don't think he would carry the rest of the country in a presidential contest.
It's the media's fault that they don't cover trump's numerous gaffes, mispronunciations, and actual brain farts like they do if it was Biden. It was clear trump was unhinged in 2016, more so now in 2024 but all you hear from the media is crickets. I wish they would put trump under the same microscope that they have Biden under.
It is the media's fault for ignoring all the the times he is fine. Tim Miller counted only twenty bad days in the last 3.5 years. Biden has had at least 15 events since the debate, most unscripted, but he was fine so we hear nary a word.
Biden did not create the target. The emotional over-reaction from Dems created the target. And now look where Dems are coalescing: keep Biden or replace Biden with Harris. Replacing Biden with Harris is functionally equivalent to keeping Biden, because if it should turn out that Biden is unable to complete his second term, Harris steps in anyway. We could have had the same result without the public panic.

The media is a large part of the problem in American politics.

Kristol is still a Republican and his wanting two people on a Dem ticket that meet his criteria isn't going to happen.
Let him clean up his own party.

Exactly. They were trump enablers in 2016 as well.
Oh right, it's the media's fault for Joe Biden's inability to complete sentences unless he's on the teleprompter.
