@ggreenwald

Does anyone remember Kamala's 2020 presidential campaign and why - despite massive advantages (swooning media coverage, a debate where she called Biden a racist, major California cash) - she had to drop out before the first vote because even the Dem base couldn't stand her?

@ggreenwald

CNN admits something unbelievably embarrassing:

Many in media failed to report more on Biden's cognitive issues because they feared "blowback...from the White House and Democrats," or, worse: "age stories angered the White House (and the liberal Twittersphere) the most.”

@ggreenwald

If you won't report major stories about the most powerful people in the country, all because you're afraid of provoking anger from the WH, Democrats, or "the liberal Twittersphere," you are many things.

"Journalist" is not one of them. It's so pathetic:

@ggreenwald

That said, I 100% believe that a desperate desire to avoid angering the WH, Democrats, and "the liberal Twittersphere" is absolutely the main motivation for most people who work in corporate media.

Why don't they just go work for the WH or the Democratic Party?
