Good for you Senator Booker. Was on CNN and Blitzer wanted his take on Jill Biden's

recent comments about the debate. Booker said that he wishes the Bidens well but right now he is concerned about the people of NJ struggling with inflation, access to healthcare, job loss and more.

He's be more outraged that FDR hide that he needed a wheelchair than by the Holocaust.

5. It feels good to MAGA to dump on the Bidens.

There's comfort in it, along with giggling at racist memes of the Obamas.

For a minute they can forget that none of Trump's promises came true and their lives are messed up.

It feels good to point and laugh at the Bidens. And that's all "the media" cares about now. Feeding people's emotions for profit.

what they are doing amounts to self induced extinction?

They can't continue to ignore the biggest news of the day. People eventually see through it and stop watching. Their media is in its last gasp if not dead already.

I hate to give this more attention that it deserves, BUT I agree 150%. WTF was she thinking in saying that publicly? She has to know all it does is feed the corporate media propaganda machine. She should know better.

15. Agreed. This should be nothing more than a footnote in today's news but the right wing idiots won't let it pass.

that we stop looking for any semblance of fair reporting from the mainstream/legacy/corporate media. They have bene complicit in this for some time. Our leaders need to be considering the antitrust laws and a buffed version of the Fairness doctrine (all within the bounds of the 1st Amendment) as a way of reigning in these propaganda-ists.

13. Don't let them control the narrative. They always try to keep it negative. Great way to return focus to what really

matters right now. Why are they supporting trump's attempt to distract from his numerous failures by dredging up this phony "sleepy Joe Biden" bullshit? The economy was great during Biden's administration compared to the debacle we are currently suffering. Obama's deal with Iran was a very good one, and Trump has created a horrendous mess in the Middle East with his random and ignorant stumbling.
