Thank you for this TC. Hope you will do a deeper dive immediately The MSM hatred of Biden ran deep. Where they put stories and the headlines they write/wrote tell the story. Glad to see you are shining the light---and go ahead and name them: Obama (probably should count good ol' Bill also) and Pelosi). Big tech is swallowing up everything---with one goal, make money and turn American into a collection of low-wage workers---perhaps it will still be a nation.. The national minimum wage is an outrage----and a GOP triumph.
Name names, and expose, expose. Why Bezos hired a cretin from Rupert’s fiasco in the UK boggles my mind. That was a monumental mess, people almost went to jail. I think it may have been the straw that broke James Murdoch’s change of heart (last I heard anyway).
You've got that right, Tom. Joe Biden was railroaded out of office for being too good at running the Government under the adage "of the people, by the People, for the People. I hope those who fell for this crap enjoy the poverty into which they will descend
Thank you TC for this defense of Biden. I am so tired of reading that Biden let us down and that this new administration is his fault for not getting out sooner.
I felt so safe when this good and decent man was working for us.
Makes me apoplectic, Dems call the shots and miss the target more often than not. They can’t even hit chump’s fat arse. Still waiting for somebody to investigate that ear wound. More dirty tricks than the evil Texas trio…
Thank you for saying this out loud. I can't get the interview on my computer, but I'll keep looking for it. Biden did the hard work of governing. Biden has integrity. Biden has the best interests of working people in mind. Biden is not a reality TV star, nor is he a celebrity. He is a decent, intelligent man who loves his country. Democrats who thought they needed something new and shiny should be ashamed of themselves. Between watching Carter's funerals in both DC and Plains and listening to President Biden's farewell address to his fellow Americans, I have been tearful all week. What they have, which no amount of money can buy, is integrity, faith, decency, and the heartfelt desire to help all Americans. Kamala Harris also shared that—a politics of joy and possibility, not one of dominance and vengeance. I'm studying Gandhi and nonviolent resistance. We have an obligation to help our country do better. But first, we have to take a look at ourselves. We have to strengthen our morale compasses and our spines. It was our election to win, not for party or popularity, but for decency and dignity. We all lost. We may not collectively deserve it, but we won the Booby Prize.
We have been flim flammed, by an ugly in every way carnival barker and his dirty tricks squad. I wonder if Karl Rove and his compatriots (who learned from Roger Stone, Lee Atwater, etc) have any regrets.
How terrifying it is that now both the printed media and the online media is so in control of the national narrative.
Felon34 cannot put a full sentence together. He has the vocabulary of a junior high school student. I imagine that he never passed a high school course in his life. Yet he gets a free pass by the TV media.
Meanwhile, the voice of reason and common sense gets belittled.
He was too busy bullying for lunch money in jr. High. He is as ugly as he is stupid. But Rupert put the lying machine to work and created a Jesus that fools sold their souls for.
It wasn't just the media. I'll never forget George Clooney reading a statement to the media that Biden needed to step down. This was just after Clooney and other glitterati feted Biden AND Obama . Trust me when I tell you Obama's fingerprints are all over this. Nancy Pelosi had no problem shanking Biden and when Kamala lost, instead of supporting her, said Dems should have had an open convention. I don't care if Pelosi has been the greatest thing since sliced bread. She shanked Biden. Worse she never spoke to him about it. The media attacked Joe and Kamala from start to finish. Jill Biden gave an interview this week (WAPO?) and Jennifer Rubin of all people slammed Jill. At least people on Bluesky were unfollowing her and canceling their subscription to her new substack, The Contrarian. On top of that I saw Cory Booker praising his esteemed colleague, Marco Rubio. The Democrats are feckless. I read Joe's book about his son, Beau's, death. He said he was profoundly sad BUT would have run in 2016 but Obama did not encourage him. Obama wanted Hillary. Obama was so fucking excited about Kamala running he practically pushed Joe out the door. I always believed in Joe Biden. I know what Trump is and I would have voted for Joe regardless. So, frankly, fuck everyone who had a part in it. I would say shame on them but they have no shame
You are so right about our Vichy press and the blame they should bear for the remainder of their existence for their unmerited ill-will toward President Biden. I’ve never seen anything to equal it. We’ll see how brave they are toward the new crew.
All the lips are brown, and the sky is gray.....all the press is down, lies headin' our way..... Way to hell is open, and the road is low..... Standin' by the curb watchin' liberty go..... California dreamin' and the fires still burn..... We've done bad, we never learn..... Dems will truly suffer, as will all the folk..... Washington is over, it is all a joke.....
The way the media non-stop screamed about Biden "losing" a debate while all the while giving all the fine things he accomplished a complete pass sickened me when it was happening and it still sickens me. I do not believe that the media couldn't have similarly pushed Trump out. I have to believe they wanted this.
Ah, yes, let us eulogize the Biden presidency—the steady captain navigating a ship of fools through storms of disinformation, greed, and malice. But dare we say, this captain wasn’t sunk by the iceberg, but by the rats gnawing at the hull, tooth by tooth, from within.
American manufacturing revived? Sure, and on the factory floor of progress, the jackals of Big Business howled for his blood because he had the gall to ask them to pay their fair share. An international alliance against autocracy? A Herculean task in an era where half the electorate would kneel before a tinpot dictator in a golden toilet. And who cheered him on? A few sober voices in a cacophony of sellouts and charlatans in Congress, more interested in political theater than public good.
The media, you say? That three-ring circus of corporate vultures perched on the high-wire act of public opinion, ready to dive-bomb any attempt at substance. They shredded him not for his failures, but for his successes—a man who dared to tell the truth in a world addicted to lies. And his own party? A festival of spineless sycophants who wet their fingers and hold them to the wind instead of taking a stand.
Pelosi, Schiff—here’s looking at you. Nancy, dear, you are using a walker these days. Are you a bit diminished? Better watch out, now the jackals are nipping around your ankles. You had a nasty fall. Unsteady on your feet, perhaps? Isn’t that one of the biting, nasty things you had to say about Biden?
Destroyed? No, my friend. Betrayed. The Biden presidency didn’t crumble under the weight of its flaws; it was buried under the cowardice of the very people who stood to gain from its success. And as we watch it slip into history, the real tragedy isn’t the man’s downfall—it’s the grotesque realization that America prefers its leaders either subservient or screaming mad, but never, God forbid, effective.
Dems were running scared after chump was resurrected like the risen Christ by the Republican jackals. That’s when our pathetic MSM lost their integrity.
Because debates have become slanging matches, Biden's lack of arrogance, dishonesty, and showmanship was a handicap. Modesty was the final nail is his political career.
I remember one of the "good guys" - one of the substack writers who I occasionally read and learned from - who wondered if Biden had Parkinson's, and self-righteously demanded answers from the president. The treatment of him was so bad that it extended into people who regularly defended him resorting to bullshit speculation concern trolling. I saw it in my friend's reactions - people who should have and almost certainly would have supported him if not for the mass media sabotage that was going on last summer.
Recently I learned that after Joe Biden broke his foot early in his term, he skipped hours of physiotherapy to improve his gait because he prioritized doing his presidential duties.

Maybe, like Carter, we didn't deserve him.
I am very sad.
And mad as hell…

Susan, you will find it on YouTube.

The chickens are heading home to roost…
"Shivving" - what an accurate term, bringing to mind unintellectual thugs with personal vendettas.
You are so right about our Vichy press and the blame they should bear for the remainder of their existence for their unmerited ill-will toward President Biden. I’ve never seen anything to equal it. We’ll see how brave they are toward the new crew.
I'm not about to start reading glowing reports of the Emperor Without Clothes.
I think we can leave the experiment to others, Susan. The money I saved by cancelling subscriptions to corporate media I can use for Substacks!
That’s exactly what I did with my cancelled subscriptions!
Don’t make me think about that. His evil arse clothed is pornographic

you've never been more right than in this post. I mean right in the best sense of the word.
Wow. Important article.
Because debates have become slanging matches, Biden's lack of arrogance, dishonesty, and showmanship was a handicap. Modesty was the final nail is his political career.
I am so sad and yes frankly frightened.
I remember one of the "good guys" - one of the substack writers who I occasionally read and learned from - who wondered if Biden had Parkinson's, and self-righteously demanded answers from the president.

I appreciate the re-post. Thank you.
Great job TC, to use a baseball analogy from Ted Williams, "...talk about hitting the round ball square!"
