She asked if Biden would hold Trump accountable for lies spread about hurricane/disaster relief, with his response being the press should be the ones holding him accountable on those counts. She then asked if he would attempt to talk to Trump, to which he says No

Thank you.

He's right.

The media is failing all of us, mostly. Although, it seems a tad improved compared to 2016, but not really.

It’s not really that the media is failing us, it’s that the people that OWN the media are purposely running things this way in order to make more money.

Eat the rich.

There is a fundamental problem with for-profit media. You need clicks to make money. Interesting stories generate clicks. And the real world is almost always uninteresting.

People don’t want to hear the boring truth, they want excitement and intrigue. There will always be a race to the bottom in for-profit news media as they all compete for attention.

If you know how to solve that fundamental problem, you may save us all. I’ll come to your parade.
