I've been staying away from cable news

[Sugarcoated]

Have any of you all been watching, and if so, how is it feeling/looking for Joe?

1. Weaning myself from MSM. You know,

when I first became a DU Bidenite in 2007, I had to ask what MSM stood for, and "who the hell is Tweety?" Bidenites from that time have been my family since then, in many respects. I look forward to the friendships this cycle will birth.

Blessings.

2. The media hate Joe

They have a new favorite shiny new object which they're pushing down our throats.
The shiny new object shall do no wrong.

3. Welcome to DU.

Pleased to make your acquaintance. Pleased, indeed.

13. Not totally true -- like ANY of the candidates, some are enthusiastic about him,

others aren't.

The Media loves whoever brings in the ratings. It is a for-profit body and has nothing to do with real news .

4. Joe is still leading in the polls.

He’s doing well.

5. I remember the press feeding frenzy

when he ran for president years ago....so unfair the way that went down. I hope it doesn't happen again.

6. i have been off cable news for a week..after the Mueller report came out...

..i JUST NOW switched to see what was going on..got MTP Daily and GUESS WHAT? I wasnt on the channel more than a second and theres a panel about this. I quickly switched back to PLUTO TV ( its free!)..the 'IT Crowd' is much more entertaining than Chuck Todd ..

7. I think our ability to unite

will eventually render talking heads irrelevant. Our division serves as their fuel.

8. Many have come out in support of Biden but of course you have some of the pundits who are really

conflating this with the #MeToo. Now I think GOING FORWARD Joe should curtail his hands on approach.....just to be on the safe side for fucks sake and it's time to dump this ammo in the river.

I'm really NOT INTERESTED very much in the candidates PAST..and that goes for all of them.

I want to hear what they have to say about the FUTURE. HERE HERE !

10. I've been steering away from the tv news channels

I needed a break after the Mueller report and subsequent spinning from the WH. The only thing that engages me at this point are our candidates for 2020. Because it appears Trump and Trumpism will require a repudiation at the ballot box to end the debacle.

As for Joe Biden? He's doing very well in the polls. Even before he starts. From the little I've heard, his numbers have been dismissed as 'name recognition' by a number of pundits. Democrats cannot rely on the cable people for much else than criticism and Biden will be no exception. I'm eager to see Joe jump in and change the conversation.

But right now? Things are looking pretty good for Biden. He's well-liked and respected. For voters who want a clear return to normalcy with a seasoned hand on the rudder, Joe is the go-to candidate. He also has working-class creds and is a definite threat to Trump and his ugly Administration.

We shall see. However, the water is going to be very rough for all these candidates.

12. Looks like a troll creeped in here while I was away...

14. Kinda sounded that way but some take the media -- or others -- too seriously.

I don't really care what others are saying or feeling (although it can be aggravating) -- I really only care that I know what I'm feeling. I've learned my lesson and it was a hard one.
