Not for nothing but the times running a single-sourcer that says "Biden recognizes that he can't fuck up like that again" amid a bunch of editorial slant does tend to make me think that Sulz is getting frustrated that it's not working. That's not even a good single-source backstab!
i thought yesterday that they’d hit overplaying their hand status, and i think it even more today. part of what’s going on here is that it’s legitimately a slow news week, lots of americans are on vacation at least part of the week, click tide is high, but that receeeds starting tomorrow
We've fully arrived to the "news cycle about the news cycle" stage, & the most they have to show is a couple dooming moderates, anonymous backbiting, & Nancy Pelosi saying it's reasonable to be concerned about the health of the president.
my worry is mostly that they won’t let him right the ship
I’m not convinced that a good interview will change the tone of the coverage at all, and I’m not convinced Biden can win an election where this is the coverage environment through November
“can the Times keep this up through Nov?”
well…
not at this volume but they can absolutely sustain a steady drip of stories every time he has a bad moment, which he will
I’d really like to be wrong, I am just significantly worried Biden can ever get the coverage he needs to flip the race
guess we’ll see how Friday plays out at least
Tough to think of a better confirmation of the value of Biden's locked-down comms than them twisting this ally's words into a confession of senility. I bet dollars to donuts this source is feeling burned right now.
This “controversy” is going to be the basis for a Republican House to refuse to certify a Biden win. This is a combination punch and we need to get ready.
New House gets seated on Jan 3rd before they get their mitts on the election.
It's possible this whole thing comes down to the wire and they keep a gerrymandered lead even as the EC goes to Biden, but a Biden win probably means a blue house, thankfully.
This is what New York Times wants to hear and they've decided to try and manifest into being. It's not just bad reporting, it's trying to influence reality by taking a direct hand in the events.
