President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

From Fox News, of all people.

Why Marjorie Taylor Greene, who helped McCarthy become speaker, tried the inside game

"It all comes down to marketing versus math.

In this era when members of Congress can build a huge social media following and raise tons of cash online, they don’t really need to toe the line of a political party.

That means they can become a celebrity who nonetheless has little clout in what actually happens in Washington.

Or they can go a different route, which involves negotiation, compromise, often incremental progress – all the things that the strongest partisans hate about government."

 

More than awe.

 

I agree. Get her out of there. This isn't a rest home or the Make A Wish Foundation. It's not the try league either.

 

Is this the new move then? CNN is a right wing house organ according to Dan Froomkin? Who is Dan Froomkin?

 

Reading comprehension’s a bitch.

 

It shoulda been Trump, instead of a nobody which he is.

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg sentenced to 5 months' imprisonment

 

You mean Twitter Watchman Dan Froomkin overshot his analysis?

 

Suspect in custody after homes of six New Mexico Democrats were shot at.

So now we know how many terrorist incidents have to occur before cops will do something about them.

 

Froomkin is a liberal journalist, but solid. Twenty years plus at various papers, then senior writer at WaPo , then HuffPost. His PressWatch is what used to be White House Watch. Or you could click on his name in Twitter and see what he retweets, that will give you a quick thumbnail.

As to CNN, since they were bought by billionaire media mogul John Malone, they have pushed out a number of people who were perceived as too hard on Trump and Fox News. For instance they cancelled "Reliable Sources" and ran off Brian Setzer. There has been a notable upswing in CNN reporters criticizing Biden.
