This is what's wrong with American politics, media/journalism and public.

Savannah Guthrie did her job properly and people are in disbelief. That was exactly what a journalist/interviewer is supposed to do.

This notion that both sides are supposed to be covered and treated the same is ridiculous. One candidate is refusing to condemn white supremacists, the other one isn't. One candidate is not only refusing to condemn a conspiracy theory group but is actually promoting them, the other one isn't. One candidate caught corona and is refusing to follow procedures or wear a mask, the other one isn't

Now why would Biden have to go through the same scrutiny or asked same questions when he is following the norms?
Yep, also George Stephanopoulos did push back and challenge Biden on certain answers and certain questions. It's just that Biden isn't a raving, ill-tempered lunatic like Trump and doesn't lie nearly as much.



Americans think that politicians should be "babied" and "coddled" by journalists :mjlol:

Not all Americans. But definitely Cult45. The real "snowflakes" who demand "alternative facts" :francis:

The optics of this are :wow:.

Obviously the pandemic halted it a lot, but I wish he would have done more of these things more often earlier in his campaign. He was in his element in this town hall, and he could have immediately killed all talks of "He's sleepy"; "He's hiding in his basement"; "He can't campaign or make a case for himself besides saying, 'I'm not Trump.'"

Then again, if there were no pandemic, the polls would be much tighter than they are now, so it's a double-edged sword.

yeah as a journalist, this is a problem in the news industry. we call it “false balance” or “neutrality bias”

basically when journalists think they have to present different sides as more balanced than actual evidence supports. we should focus more on it because we constantly harp on appearing unbalanced and neutral but we shouldn’t manufacture balance when it isn’t present

debate is next thursday, what the fukk is the setup?

did the commission change the rules?

and what about covid, is biden gonna demand a clean test? :mjlol:

Third debate was supposed to have the same format as the first one (town hall format was going to be 2nd debate). Don't think anyone has said anything about whether it's been cancelled or not. All I know is I'll be watching Eagles/Giants that night and hoping the Birds turn things around.
