Satisfied Psychic: Is there any D candidate we expect the NYT would cover favorably against Trump? Would a contested process make the media focus more on Trump's fascism or less on it?

Here’s why Biden is toast: in this situation, any candidate in Biden’s shoes would do a series of events (interviews, press conferences, town halls, etc) to prove they are up to the task. But, Biden isn’t doing that because he can’t. He’s not capable—and that’s not going to change.

yeah, at this point the problem isn't the debate; it's the response to it validating everyone's concerns

Except he did do a bunch of events? That night and the next day.

none of which have settled folks' fears or moved the conversation onwards.

Is that because the fears are well-founded, or do we agree the sky is falling if enough people shout it loud enough?

I think when half your campaign and party leaders are leaking to the press that they're shitting bricks, and you're not putting it to bed with some urgency, there's a problem that's a lot bigger than a few folks on social media thinking the sky is falling

Do you think the media covered Clyburn's statements honestly?

Do you think the NYT, based on how they are currently acting, will reward Biden with better coverage if he, what, does even more live events and gives more speeches? Has anything about their conduct suggested to you that they care about reality?

Has Joe Biden suffered a polling change more significant than Obama's post-debate slump?

Is there any D candidate we expect the NYT would cover favorably against Trump? Would a contested process make the media focus more on Trump's fascism or less on it?

If someone can provide evidence more compelling than "vibes" for Biden to step aside, I'm all for it. So far nobody has delivered. Maybe having a gigantic public panic attack after a single really bad debate is the problem. We will have more bad news days before the election.
