As President Trump noted, it is “Very strange. Sleepy Joe never takes questions from the media.” He tweeted that the reporters covering Biden have “zero drive. Why can’t my reporters behave like that? Something is going on?” Of course, the President knows he is hated by the liberal news media while Biden is given the soft touch coverage. The Trump attack dog media have become the Biden lap dog media.

While Biden is given deference and outright support by the media, President Trump is treated like trash. It began the day he announced for President and it has not ceased. He never received a honeymoon from the media after he won the presidency.  

The President is regularly blasted with non-stop questions during his press briefings and when he attempts to leave. Usually, the media hurl “gotcha” questions at the President designed to leave a negative impression with the public. Trump hating reporters are constantly trying to find anything they can to turn into a controversy that will hurt his administration.  

While the President is challenged daily by his enemies in the media, Biden has only been challenged twice in recent months, both times by African American journalists. During a May 22 interview on the “Breakfast Club” radio program Biden was asked by co-host Charlamagne tha God to come by his New York studio for an in-person interview before the election because, “We’ve got more questions.”

Biden was outraged that an African American would need to ask him more questions. He snapped, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” This horrific and condescending comment, dripping with contempt, should have destroyed the Biden campaign. As usual, the media gave him a pass and he stayed in the basement, riding high in the polls.  

Several months later, during an August 5 interview with CBS journalist Errol Barnett, Biden snapped when asked whether he planned to take a cognitive test. He shouted, “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test? Come on, man, that’s like saying to you before you got on this program if you had taken a test, were you taking cocaine or not? What do you think, huh? Are you a junkie?”

Another interview led to another dreadful response from Biden. It was not only a racist response, but it also contradicted a comment he made at a June 30 press conference. He told Fox News reporter Doug McKelway that he was “constantly tested” for cognitive decline.

When Biden is challenged, he snaps. Americans have seen it during campaign stops when he has encountered tough questions from audience members. During this campaign, it is a sad fact that Biden has faced tougher questions from average Americans than he has faced from the lap dog media.  

The kid glove treatment has continued after his highly praised selection of U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his vice-presidential pick. Almost immediately, the media championed the selection. This is the same corrupt media that destroyed another female running mate, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

She was ridiculed, ambushed, and mistreated by the media that was working tirelessly to elect Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States. According to Palin, “if you’re conservative, you’re going to get beat up.” She noted these three challenges that all conservative candidates, male or female, face, “It’s three against one: you have the Democrat Party, you have the media and you have the RINOs in your own party that are always, always trying to clobber you.”

Palin was called a “bimbo,” who was “good-looking,” and had “sex appeal.” In contrast, Harris has been commended for her intelligence and her record. The media are working overtime to shield her extremely liberal record. Instead of reporting that she has been ranked as the most liberal United States Senator, The New York Times referred to her as a “pragmatic moderate.” Such coverage is not only laughably biased, but it is also routine for the corrupt and dishonest mainstream media.

Until Election Day, we can expect the media to continue to protect Biden and Harris, while using every opportunity to demonize the President and Vice President. Biden is hoping he can continue to hide from questions with his “basement strategy.” While liberal Fox News host Chris Wallace claimed that Biden could not “hide from now until Election Day,” the former Vice President will surely try to stay hidden for as long as possible. If he limits his media interactions, he will have fewer opportunities to showcase his gaffes and his mental incompetence.

If our country had a decent media, this type of behavior would be unacceptable. Unfortunately, we have a media that have chosen sides and will not press Biden for answers, they will be too busy playing cheerleader.

    One thing I'm curious about and I want to bring in my Mike Memoli back and get more more folks back into this conversation is. I had heard some whispers from the left that there's gonna be some hand wringing on the left, if it is Kamela Harris, athere's this idea she's not progressive enough or whatever you want to do, like how is the campaign, anticipating some of that on the left and what are they trying to do to mitigate it, mitigates the criticism.


    Chuck I think we have to consider is the attitude of the Biden campaign all along is to take the criticism of the former vice president seriously to mind that the ideological divide, of which there is a very real concern about and they spent an awful lot of time this summer working to manage and to make sure that the progressive wing of the party felt included, but it's also not to overestimate it not to take it more seriously than they trust in their own calling in the Vice President's own gut, that it is as serious and so I think when you talk to the campaign about how this decision comes together, you're not going to hear as much conversation about the ideological divisions as you might expect. I think what is consistent throughout and Biden set this tone himself more times than anybody cared to listen perhaps he wanted somebody who he felt he could work with, and we're seeing that already what is one of the first images that campaign is putting out at this point, Chuck. It's an image of Joe Biden sitting at his desk Kamala Harris is sitting at her desk having a virtual conversation, it's an image that you can perhaps expect to see a lot more over time. And listen, I think we've spent a lot of time trying to figure out meetings right well have they happened in person hasn't happened virtually. Knowing to find having covered him a long time, they will probably a lot of informal conversations there will probably meetings that didn't quite qualify as a vice presidential interview, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of those moments was that picture that we're seeing now and for all the questions about the divided party and specifically what Kamala was trying to do against in the campaign which is trying to get his support with African American voters. I think what is important to realize at this point is that the party is so united behind the idea of beating Donald Trump and I think the campaign was always confident that there might be a messy couple days no matter who the choices, but they have a whole convention next week, and they're going to carry on into the fall, feeling very confident that the party is together on this.


    You know, in fact, Clare McCaskill. I was just thinking about this in a conventional year, with a convention coming up, if there were sore feelings on the left, there would be a lot of reporters kind of bored next week who would find plenty of delegates to say disparaging things right about the ticket. Yes What's not going to happen next week it's one of those One of those things that is, you know, it just it's the nature of this current beast we're all dealing with what that might end up being helpful in making sure that storyline never gets traction.


    Yeah, I'll give up the balloon drop in exchange for journalists not being able to find people on the floor, who are not happy about who the nominee is or who the Vice President is, you know, this party is probably as united, as I've ever seen it. Yeah, there's, there's some differences of opinion about a few things, and Kamala, you know is somebody who started out as a courtroom assistant da, and then worked her way up to the, to the boss of that district attorney's office and then to the Attorney General's Office running an office over 7000 lawyers, she has executive experience. And during that time she did do criminal justice reform. She had some important things she did about finding jobs for drug offenders as opposed or GDS for drug offenders as opposed to putting them in prison. So she's got things to talk about in terms of criminal justice reform, but she also is going to be reassuring I think to a lot of suburban women who, you know, maybe aren't as far left as some people in the Democratic Party maybe a lot of suburban women who voted for Donald Trump, for whatever reason, so I think she is a great combination and I do think you're going to see less sniping, particularly because we're going to be working remotely, and there won't be an opportunity for that.



    You have concerns about how this campaign truth, how they sort of. There's been a lot of conversation about sort of how will the atmosphere of the campaign, treat this of


     doing that with my family it's in my blood in my DNA, but also we have to live in a society where the vulnerable in these communities, cannot be victim to criminals who are running the streets or rioting and breaking into their businesses and destroying their livelihoods and continue to call it peaceful I mean you've seen that happen in Chicago the tide is turned there with the politicians and all of a sudden, you know, noticing that they should be prosecuting these people, but because she's ever really stood up for her own record during this presidential cycle, it'll be interesting to see if she decides to do that now as Joe Biden's law enforcement officer but again at the same time trying to square the idea that Joe Biden has had a hard time getting rid of his record on crime as well but it's been seen as racist incarcerating too many minorities so that'll be an interesting debate to hear them discuss


    I want to bring in the Sunday anchor chris wallace he is on the phone with us. Chris Wallace we haven't had a chance to hear your reflections yet and your observations about this to be the first black woman to be the VP nominee, on a ticket.


    Well hello to the five, even on the phone. A couple of thoughts a lot of foreigners-- when Obama picked Biden to be his running mate. Back in 2008 he said I want you to regard this as the capstone of your career, particularly given Biden's age, which is odd because here we are 12 years later when he's running for president. The point was that I think Obama wanted somebody who wasn't running for president himself as a vice president, and there was a lot of thought that that was what Biden might want himself, the rise of Susan Rice, that thought that he didn't want somebody who would be running for president, with the view being vice president as a capstone of the career and you also heard a lot about what's most important is personal chemistry and somebody to be a partner in governance and Susan Rice made a lot more sense from both of those points I think you guys have pointed out some of the deficits, for Susan Rice.

    But clearly, in the end, you know what, I can worry about all about after I'm president I gotta win first, and he clearly thought that Kamala Harris would be more of an asset going forward in the 2020 campaign, then Susan Rice would be.  Maybe not as good as a governing partner and certainly not somebody who's going to view the, being vice president or the capstone of a career

    , but somebody who may be

      Biden's sees lead over Harris, Warren drops to single digits, likely voters https://www.bayoubuzz.com/dir/index.php/bb/donald-trump-news-today/donald-trump-news/item/1063893-biden-s-sees-lead-over-harris-warren-drops-to-single-digits-likely-voters https://www.bayoubuzz.com/dir/index.php/bb/donald-trump-news-today/donald-trump-news/item/1063893-biden-s-sees-lead-over-harris-warren-drops-to-single-digits-likely-voters

      Here are the findings and below is the narrative from the Morning Consult's email blast:

      Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have risen up the ranks of contenders for the Democratic presidential primary in recent months, closing the gap between the field and its current leader, former Vice President Joe Biden.

      New Morning Consult polling showing preferences among the primary electorate's most likely voters suggests that gap may be even smaller than it appears.

      Biden holds respective 17- and 18-point leads over Harris and Warren in the latest survey of 16,599 Democratic primary voters, conducted July 1-7. But that advantage shrinks to 8 points over Harris and 12 points over Warren among the 4,604 voters who are most likely to vote: those who said they're absolutely certain to vote in 2020, have voted in previous elections and are extremely interested in politics and public affairs. Both samples have 1-point margins of error.

      Biden has held steady, but both Harris (by 4 points) and Warren (by 9 points) have improved their standing with the most likely Democratic voters since Morning Consult polling conducted Feb. 1-28, which also had a 1-point margin of error.

      While Harris and Warren overperform with the party's likeliest voters, it's the opposite effect for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who trails the former vice president among the likeliest primary voters by 17 points, compared with a 12-point deficit among the overall primary electorate.

      The most enthusiastic voters are 7 points less likely than the overall primary electorate to give Sanders first-choice status, 12 percent to 19 percent, while they're 7 points more likely to back Harris. Warren has a 4-point advantage with the group compared to the overall electorate. 

      Since February, Sanders has lost 5 points with the group, matching his movement among the overall electorate over the same time period.

        The fact is, on many issues, it’s necessary to work with others whose viewpoints on any number of topics are dissimilar. That’s how democracy works. Why Biden felt it necessary to raise the specter of the once ago South, by invoking the memory of segregationist Herman Talmadge, (D) GA, shows he was sleeping when Trent Lott, (R) MI, was forced out of his senate leadership role for lauding SC Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 1948 run for president.

        Biden’s wheels, it’s apparent, are stuck in a rut on a road the railroad made obsolete long ago. He should quit now while he can do so gracefully. Imagine, for a moment, Harris on stage with Donald Trump. She’d have no lurking and pacing behind her the way Trump bedeviled Hillary Clinton during a debate last session. She’d be immune to the name calling, and there’d be no way for the president to escape her grasp of the law and his own studied indifference to it.

        Considering Robert Mueller’s timid reluctance to call a spade a spade, what better candidate could the Democrats put forth than a seasoned prosecutor to lay out the case for a revival of American values, and benefits of a return to the rule of law. Harris could do worse than campaign on the slogan “Bring Back America” because what we’ve lost under the Trump presidency is a sense of compassion, common decency, and respect for one another. These are characteristics that once defined us but, regrettably, have fled from our land in which children are caged by the government like animals in a third-rate zoo.

        We have, also, lost any sense of nuance. You are either a “winner” or “loser” in Trump’s America; there’s no in between, meaning most of us non-billionaires are losers. When Trump proclaimed that he loved the uneducated during the last campaign it was because he knew people find it easier to worship a golden calf than struggle with rules. It was easier to believe that he “alone can fix it” than to put shoulder to plow. The policies of the president have led us into a thicket of questionable dealings with traditional enemies, the embrace of a coarsened public discourse, challenges to the foundations of jurisprudence, and set us one upon the other, gladiatorial style. 

        To set things right, we do not need Joe Biden, we need someone who can articulate what’s wrong with the current administration, nepotism, self-enrichment, and disdain for anyone holding opposing viewpoints. To change course, the nation needs someone who will test the furies and make the case that Donald Trump is not the American he pretends to be. One person who can do that is Kamala Harris, and for that reason she bears watching.

          Biden seems to be laboring under the mistaken belief that Republicans over thirty will swing his way. Sorry, Joe, but that’s a bunch of malarkey. If Biden is nominated by the Democrats consider that Trump will re-play his incessant anti-Obama and Hillary tunes, probably to good effect. What Biden does have going for him, however, is that Democrats are willing to coalesce behind whatever candidate appears likely to have the best chance of beating Trump and that, more often than not, is the one who tops the polls at convention time.

          Of the announced candidates, Elizabeth Warren has put forth the most economic thinking through her Robin Hood tax.  This works with the rich kicking in a couple of cents per pound of lucre which is an English concept originally aimed at financial transactions by banks that never gained much traction. However appealing Warren’s program appears, she was hurt last time by the colloquial claims of Indian ancestry that Trump lampooned when he called her Pocahontas. Though many liberal intellectuals favor Warren, they know, instinctively, she probably  can’t win.

          Beto O’Rourke, ostensibly, has a claim to a high moral ground, and his appearances are laced with a folksy form of Jack Kennedy charisma. That being said, for all the youthful  TV allure, it is doubtful if Beto can withstand the withering fire of Trumpian full mania. Trump is a one-man wrecking crew who could demolish the Pyramids in an afternoon if he so chose. Beto is too nice, too honest, and scarcely hard enough to take on the Trumpian furies.

          That brings us to Bernie. Sanders’ legions are still in place and will trudge, again, like postmen, through rain, sleet, and snow to spread the gospel. He’s, perhaps, the candidate the president should fear the most, especially since Trump lost the popular vote by three million last time, and there are four more years’ worth of youngsters newly enfranchised since 2016. Bernie’s love-ins, easily, compete with Trump’s tent-revivals, and he has an uncanny ability to call bullshit to great effect.

          Bernie’s fortunes will depend, to a great degree, on who he selects as a V.P. In this regard he could do worse than opt for fellow candidate, and former CA Attorney General, Kamala Harris. A successful law and order type in a notoriously liberal state, she is a prosecutor-politician with the smarts of Arlen Specter and the jugular instinct of a crouching tiger. Trump, et Cie, would be her raw meat, leaving the president little respite.

          With Bernie going crazy on the fallacies behind Trump’s manufactured, deficit-driven, prosperity, Harris would play the role of a circuit-riding judge dispensing harsh justice in the wild world of Trump’s deregulation, racial politics, Russia troubles, and the general  economic free-for-all that he credits with sustaining the boom begun under Obama. But, it’s only the 1st inning.
