I do not think he is making excuses. He is just explaining what he thinks is happening. He has a point. trump disrespecting women or calling anyone names is not news. And how exactly do we hold them accountable? It took two weeks to get the bulwark to make a stab at presenting the other side of the Biden issue.
JVL had a lengthy article a couple days ago making the case for keeping Biden, probably in response to all the people objecting to the one-sided presentations over the previous two weeks.
Again, how exactly do we hold the press accountable?
Clearly none of the media cares about my subscription or yours. Just as clearly there is not going to be any large scale boycott. The media responds to advertisers, not subscribers. There is really nothing any of us can do.
Tim had a guest on the flagship pod earlier this week arguing for keeping Biden, there's an article up right now about Biden sticking around because of the voters, and even as early as right after the debate they were discussing what Biden could do to turn it around (despite skepticism)
Oh Tim thinks Biden should go (and had a civil disagreement with the guest I mentioned), but Tim and literally every other Bulwark person has said directly and repeatedly that they will absolutely vote for Biden if ends up on the ballot, and if Biden does turn out to be the nominee they'll work like hell to get him elected. Their main goal is defeating Trump, and they think another candidate is a better way to defeat Trump, so that's what they want and why.
Because those things are not "new" when they come from him. Not an excuse but an explanation of why the media ignores it.
