Now that Republicans have formally nominated Donald Trump for president and the party’s convention went off this week without a hitch, it’s a good time to check in on how the media processed these past few days. Spoiler: not well.
Let’s look at a few articles encapsulating how they’re acting out in typical fashion.
July 18, Axios: “Top Dems now believe Biden will exit.”
That headline came along with a “breaking news” report from the ever-creepy Mark Halperin, who wrote on X that President Biden “plans to announce withdrawal from nomination as early as this weekend, with Sunday most likely.” He also claimed Biden wouldn’t be endorsing his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the Democrat replacement nominee.
Nobody but Biden and probably his godawful wife, Jill, WebM.D., knows for sure whether he’s contemplating at all to exit his reelection campaign. That clearly won’t stop the news media, openly praying for it, from allowing themselves to be used by other Democrats to make him.
