WTF CNN and Huffington Post. They are doing the same thing they did in 2016 against the Democratic

nominee, and lately have been working over-time lately to find and report negative innuendos and things about Joe Biden. Here is their headline today, which I won't supply a link to:

"Biden urged to bail out. Joe Biden wants to change "White Man" culture. CNN analyst suggest don't run"

This was from Joan Walsh, who then tells Biden to just support a women instead of running.

WTF is CNN, or any other suppossed news organization telling a candidate what they should or should not do?

The problem today is they intersperse commentary within news, and don't even attempt to separate the two.

Did they ask Senator Sanders or other candidates to do a similar thing?


This is similar to the nonesense they pulled in 2016 discussing how the Democratic nominee was angry all the time, never smiles, and is shrill, etc.

It reminds me how much of our illustrious media told us how the email investigation had been reopened, which was a LIE, then propagated every right wing hack on our television screen propagating that lie.

There is a reason the only national news outlet I watch is Bloomberg. Most of the others seem like a version of entertainment tonight




If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

She was bitterly disappointed when Hillary Clinton lost the primary race to Obama. I remember how crestfallen she was. I think that she has in her mind that the time has come for a woman to win the presidency and anything less than that will be seen as a failure. I'm not so sure it is all that personal against Biden, other than the fact that he is an elderly white man.
