Biden VP pick and bias in reporting

[shu09]

A bunch of women's groups have sent this letter to news organizations in an attempt to shape coverage of the pick the way they want it. Is it any wonder why there is such bias in the mainstream media? Special interest groups and lobbyists need to be flushed out.

Wonder what these assholes thought of Sarah Palin’s treatment by the media?

Doesn't matter. We just won the election.

I can't wait for Jesse's new rants!

I dunno about that, incumbent president just failed his country for 5 months and counting...gonna be mega grassroot campaign to get presumptive first time voters out to vote...representation of both major parties is not desirable but that is life in america with corporate interests and lobbyists

 

[Pirata]

ROTFLMAO

 

[Pirata]

Wah wah ..wah wah wah .. wah ah

 

[Pirata]

Everybody knows Biden is going to last a maximum of 9 to 12 months before everybody realizes he is looney tunes.

Given that, nobody who is of sound mind and body is going to vote for him knowing that Kamala Harris would be our next president.

If you believe otherwise you are absolutely delusional. However listening to many your posts many of you are delusional and so I expect that you'll argue this point.

I could not be happier with Joe biden's pick.

We're in the middle of the pack G7 on the stats. So tell me how that's a failure.

 

[Pirata]

Four more years of watching you guys cringe. I love it.

 

[HALL85]

Not a good decision by Biden.

I know. Cringing at the idea the president would ignore Putin paying bounties for killing US troops. I love it. Let’s Pwn the libs... wooo.

Till she saw Russia, she got OK coverage.

Ahh, the cringing has begun!

It would be quite enjoyable to watch the libs cry another 4 years.

I think Trump has done a decent job through all of this. He has done the best he could to strike a balance between managing the virus and keeping the country up and running. Given everything that has happened recently and with Biden's VP pick today, I am now wavering on voting for Biden. Probably in the undecided camp as of today.

33 class 2 senate seats 2 special senate elections, reb have 23 seats right now, dems 12 plus the entire house

He managed to pick the one black woman that black voters don’t like. Brilliant.

Can’t wait for the poster with a foot fetish to weigh in on this one… LOL

 

[seton1996]

Never been a fan of Trump the person, didn’t vote for him or Hillary. But I feel he has done a decent job as President, if he would only watched what he said sometimes I would be more supportive.

At one point considered voting for Biden if he got nominated, but really worried about him long term now and not a big fan of Harris. Unfortunately doesn’t matter who I vote for as I live in NJ and we know Dem will win the state.

And he’s really done a great job of keeping up with his golf game during a pandemic with multiple hot spots within his own country.

 

[Pirata]

Harris will be coddled by the MSM.

What's the over and under on how many times we will hear the word "historic"?

Chris Mathews will get some more tingles.

But in the end, with Biden's mental and physical condition, not enough voters will risk her being president.

What's the over/under on how many stock photos we see with Harris standing next to John Lewis?

Will there be any with her and her bangbuddy Willie Brown?

He deserves down time, just as other presidents have. Presidents Clinton and Obama were big golfers as well.

 

[Pirata]

The market is up 250 pre-trading.

The market will continue to rise as it absorbs the reality that we won't have a demented geriatric puppet in the White House accompanied by the "historic" whiner in chief wannabe.

 

[cernjSHU]

You do know she never said that, right?

She said, you can see Russia from Alaska. But it was her inane answers during the rest of the interview where she showed that she was ill equipped to be VP. As much as I like John McCain, that was one of the worst choices he could have made. McCain would have made a good President and he was a man of integrity. But that was the worst VP choice a Presidential candidate since Agnew.

Hmm, seems to me you were always going Trump. You actually think he has done a good job which blows my mind. I don’t see the objection to Harris. She is smart and a very good debater. She has law enforcement background as an assistant DA, the DA and attorney general. This signals that Biden is not going to be heading left and will remain a moderate. She is more moderate than any other person that was being talked about for VP with the exception of maybe Duckworth. So, this tells me that you were always leaning Trump.

It makes me laugh that Trump supporters Think that Biden has dementia when Trump mispronunciations words all the time. What was the last thing he could not read? Oh yeah. Yosemite. He said Yo-Semite. Trump is just so sharp, he uses very big words, the best words.

And his understanding of medicine has been awesome. Did you get your shot of disinfectant yet to cure CoVid?

Well, you're wrong. Harris is not a moderate, no way, no how. Why do you care if someone is a good debater? That has no relevance to whether or not they can do the job.

I wanted Susan Rice or Duckworth. Those picks would have solidified me as a Biden voter. Unfortunately he went the route of identity politics.

So you have your choice of dope versus demented. God Bless America.

I'm not really a fan of Harris. I thought she ran a horrible campaign and did not do well in the debates except for 1 of them. Her record isn't bad but she ran away from it because she was afraid of progressives.

There were better choices out there but all probably carried a bit more risk.
Kind of like Biden being the safe play in 2008, I feel that Harris was the safest for 2020.

I look forward to her debating Nikki Haley.

You sure come up with some crazy conspiracy theories. There is no way Nikki Haley would accept a VP pick in this climate. She got out for a reason: she is going to run in 2024 and didn't want to be branded as a Trumper forever.

Then we would have two "historic" VP candidates, right?

Not sure what better choices You speak of. He already limited it to a woman. So, Biden was not going to go left and go with Warren. Duckworth who has a great personal story is completely unproven on the big stage. Rice never ran for office and is unproven. I think it was a good choice. If you think Harris was the safest choice, isn’t that a good thing?

Well, by definition... yes. That would be a historic moment.

 

[SPK145]

The sad part is that neither Trump, Biden, nor Harris are qualified to run the country. Pence is but he is too conservative socially.

Harris was a head scratcher to me. (Although Val Demmings has limited experience, she would have been a better choice IMO). Re: Harris
* This does nothing to bring the Bernie bros under the tent and get them enthused about supporting the ticket...does this really help Millennial turnout?
* Biden already has California and although VP's typically don't move the needle, it just gives Trump more ammo to get his base to come out because of her support of sanctuary cities. This will be met with a thud in the swing states...talked to a few Dem pols this morning in PA and they all think it was a mistake and hurts their chances in the state.
* She is pretty unlikeable...not nearly as bad as Hillary, but right up there. She couldn't get any AA votes in the Democratic primary.
* There will likely be no audience for the debates, so the canned lines she was notorious for will have no cheering behind them.
* As much as the MSM wants to label the pick has historic, I don't see the Biden base or swing voters being any more enthused….enthusiasm translates into turnout.

Do you think they would get equal treatment as women of color?
