   I know I’m an old man yelling at the clouds here but the fact that some of the most hardcore right-wingers of the last very conservative administration—Cheney and now Gonzales—are backing Harris should give the press leave to stop treating this as a normal contest.

     All of the news company's revenue spiked in the Trump administration and crashed in the Biden administration. When the government is boring and works pretty much as expected, nowhere near as many people pay as much attention to the news.

     Everything Biden has done in the last 4 years is squarely within the normal bounds of what everyone expects a Democrat President to do. Even Fox News doesn't get as much traffic because what are they going to actually report on? Biden continues to be a normal mainstream liberal? That's like reporting "water still wet" and "sky still blue".

     A Trump administration is a disaster every minute, thus everyone gets glued to Drama Of The Day.

     @JessTheUnstill @Flowermob @JoshuaHolland when Biden won I told people that he's best choice for the US president not because of his platform but because a boring, predictable slice of bread was exactly what America needed after 4 years of a roller roaster ride.

     @JoshuaHolland t should but it won't because the #MSM is owned by rich folk and they need a horse race to drive clicks so money appears. They are also in the tank for Trump apparently since they treat him with kid gloves. #NYTImesisWeird #WashingtonPostisWeird #MediaFail
