Man, just so sad to see this narrative taking hold today rtaher than Bidens clear win, Its disgusting really. Biden cleans Ryans clock and they cant even give him credit. Now I hear that Ryan was calm, cool and presidential while Biden was rude, condescending and unhinged? What the hell were they watching because what I watched last night was an old fashioned ass kicking. It really pisses me off but everyone who watched that debate knows Biden kicked Ryans ass from beginning to end. I think the polls will swing back a bit to Obama thanks to Bidens epic ass kicking last night.
The media sucks!

(39,314 posts)She is either an idiot or forced to repeat this whopper. Most of the guests counter this narrative but the statement sits there for other MSM sites to use.
Oh let's not allow the Democrats to have a "win"! Oh that Joe Biden is "crazy". No, he was excellent and he won.

(10,749 posts)At least Dems had the decency and integrity to acknowledge their disappointment with Obama in his debate performance.
Republicans and their surrogates lack the same integrity. Ryan doubled down on lies and was schooled by Biden from start to finish. But because Biden smiled too much and interrupted, somehow the debate was "tied."
This is bullshit.

ridiculous.
what would it take for the media to spin it differently? if someone told them that obama/biden were actually republicans and rmoney/rayn were actually democrats, THEN obama & biden would be deemed clear winners....

(74 posts)Biden won no doubt, that's why I think it just a horse race for the media. This crap about him being rude etc.. is just Malarkey, and says hey our guy lost but this is how we say it. I watched both debates on PBS and think that was a smart choice b/c hey they need all the help they can get, and I get good coverage of the debate.

Biden doesn't "win" no matter how authentic he is & how fake his opponent is.
People who watched it will make up their own minds, I HOPE.

Corporate media at it's best. Judging by a lot of reactions on twitter and Facebook, Joe kicked his butt.
I won't let it get me down because it is obvious what they are doing.
If Biden was the opposite and was in Ryan's position he would have been roasted in the media. It's actually hilarious because it so transparent. If Ryan had dominated the debate the way Joe had the MSM would be preaching that Obama has lost already.
