The special counsel found that Biden extensively cooperated with investigators, in sharp contrast to evidence that Trump resisted and misled them for months.
That's a good topic for "news analysis" pieces. Instead, it's But Her Emails redux.

I'm calling BS on the sort of news analysis that passively says the report has shined a "spotlight" on Biden's age.
The "spotlight" reflects editorial choices. The GOP use of something as "ammunition" for an attack shouldn't dictate those choices:

Given that voters are deciding which man to entrust with the presidency, the report's stark contrast between Biden/Trump handling of the powers of that office seems more relevant.
Maybe that should have been the topic of "news analysis" pieces?

Sally Yates would have brought the political finesse and experience needed for the AG role in a Biden Administration. Garland's struggle with DC politics and the press core has been evident. While he excels in justice, his conservative approach hinders his effectiveness.
