If you were wondering if CNN would back off Biden now

[senseandsensibility]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Flipped out of morbid curiosity, and Jeff Zeleny was saying that Biden is now a Shakespearian tragic character and basically that it proves that he should have backed out of the Presidency sooner and that this will just continue to raise more questions. Could not get off of that station fast enough. But not fast enough to miss his praise of trump for being "respectful" in this moment.

1. Cancer affects both young and old these days

You can't predict these things.

2. ABC Evening news talking about his mental acuity

3. Yuck

The corporate media really hates President Biden it seems.

[Mister Ed]

4. Probably because he advocated "making the rich pay their fair share". n/t

13. No they dont. They dont give a crap either

Way. They are just making sure TSFs failures are not front and center. THAT is the truth.

7. Not in the segment I saw. The report mentioned Biden having been generally out of the public eye

until May when he attended the Pope's funeral and did some interviews to defend himself against the charges in Jake Tapper's fabulist novel.

Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancer

Biden's office announced his illness Sunday afternoon.

5. Pretty much what I expected

Sickening... most of the media are whores. I don't care for that word but it fits here so much.

6. I have to admit that I was shocked

and I wasn't expecting much, just a little common decency.

[Meowmee]

18. Yes it is still shocking even though it is expected

Every time they do something terrible regarding the psycho also. 😩

8. For some, bullying is habit-forming

When weak entities can join others in picking on someone without due consequences, they have no incentive to stop. At least that's what it looks like here.

9. Just a reminder: HARRIS ran for president in 2024. Young, articulate and very healthy.

Yet the 78-year-old deranged, word-salad-spewing, 34-felony-convicted Trump got more votes than her. So fuck you very much, MSM.

10. If you wanted to land on your feet after a fascist takeover...

[dflprincess]

11. "praise of trump for being "respectful" in this moment"

Proof of how low the bar is for Trump if he gets praised for behaving like an adult.

BTW I saw a post on Facebook that indicates Donnie, Jr is handling the hateful posts about Biden. So let's not be too impressed.

12. I expected nothing else

14. Who the fuck is Jeff Zeleny?

A nobody who thinks bad mouthing an ill person makes him look strong.

15. thanks for the report.

pity that anyone still watches that tripe.

there are options, really good ones

and a world of substacks with names you know, like Joyce Vance, Steve Schmidt, Jon Pavlovitz, God, Andy Borowitz, and on and on.

I'm over legacy and for profit media. Like DU, these Independent Media providers will lead you to sources all over the world. The Guardian, The Intercept, and so many more.

I could go on with Chris Murphy and Patty Murray for instance, lawmakers providing news and perspective, or the several public health information sources I've found just since krasnov and doge began destroying the country.

CNN to me is so 20th century, and it appears to be going down the magat hole, so fuck them.

17. Thank you for this list

[barbtries]

19. you are so welcome.

I started a substack myself, which I've been extremely derelict about keeping up with, but here is my first post back in January.

Many of us are pretty much entirely over the “news” as we have known it for decades. We are sick of the both-sides bullshit. We are sick of the sane-washing of what is transparently and objectively (at least to us; the brainwashed multitudes is a whole other subject) insane and destructive lies and propaganda.
