Today's Tiedrich rant - the press is failing us - just when we need them the most



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/the-press-is-failing-us-just-when

hey, remember when Joe Biden was old?

for a while there, it was the biggest story in America. you couldn’t pick up a newspaper — or turn on your TV — without hearing about how Joe Biden is old. so fucking old! ancient! how did this happen? how can someone be this old? how is he even still alive? so ollllld!!!

the press hounded Joe until he finally dropped out of the race. but here’s the thing: Joe Biden could have avoided all this controversy just by being A Very Special Boy, like Donny Convict is — because if you point out to any of the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media that Donny is old, too, you’re going to get an earful of well of course he is. so what? cut the guy some slack.

yesterday, the Daily Beast attempted to answer the question why is Donny holding so few hate-rallies?

Screenshot:

the Beast expends 390 words on what to them is essentially a seven-word open-and-shut case: people get old, what’s the big deal?
