Question: Did Pres. Bidens win have 24/ TV coverage???.. (Original Post) riversedge Nov 16 OP
No.... Lovie777 Nov 16 #1
Biden's win was different because it was also contrasting with refusal to concede. Self Esteem Nov 16 #2
Good explanation. Thanks. riversedge Nov 16 #6
Bidens win was different because Biden is a human, and Trump is not. Srkdqltr Nov 16 #11
Biden is treating him like he is, tho. Self Esteem Nov 16 #12
Of course he is. Srkdqltr Nov 16 #13
Of course. Makes all the arguments about how he was a massive threat to democracy ring hollow. Self Esteem Nov 16 #14
I meant Biden was treating trump like a normal person. Because Biden is normal, even if Trump isn't. Srkdqltr Nov 16 #15
Yes. Biden is normalizing Trump. Self Esteem Nov 16 #18
Not to belabor the point, but i wasn't saying that at all. You are blaming Biden and i am not. Never. Srkdqltr Nov 16 #20
I am blaming everyone who is treating Trump's win as normal. Self Esteem Nov 16 #22

And no attempt at helping with a transition.

That was as big of a new story as Biden winning because it was unprecedented.

This go around, Harris conceded and Biden has treated Trump like any other president-elect. So, what are they going to cover?

Inviting him to the White House to cheese it up for the cameras while laughing together.

It's really difficult to claim he's an existential threat to democracy and then when he wins, embrace him like he's any other politician.

They are disgusting & have a gigantic share of the blame for this shit show. Last week you couldn't open Prime video without seeing pics of Trump all over the home page. Bezos' offering to Trump, I imagine.

and it was Scott Simon droning on and on about Trump's cabinet picks. I kept switching back to see when the topic changed but after 20 minutes I finally gave up.

I recall a political cartoon published shortly after he was elected---

Man and wife sitting on the couch watching TV...

Husband says "Biden is boring"
and his wife says "yeah, GREAT, isn't it"

did. I also think Biden did for a short while. They talked about his picks for his administration as they did for Obama’s administration.
