A point that needs to be made as "the media" mount a feeding frenzy to hound Biden out of the race, focusing exclusively on him and ignoring Trump — and significantly boosting Trump's chances to win, it has to be said:
Who do "the media" really care about? Specifically, who do they care about if Trump wins? Do "the media" care about the people who will be hurt first and foremost if Trump wins, the most vulnerable in our society?

"The desire to defend Biden appears to be so widespread among the [Congressional Black Caucus] members, three people aligned with the group said, it is possible the group formalizes its support for him in a statement over the next several days. The group’s influence could blunt the widespread concerns of other colleagues about Biden…."
~ Marianna Sotomayor and Leigh Ann Caldwell

"Nor is there much self-scrutiny or effort to course-correct. Only self-satisfaction and an apparent commitment to more of the same. ...
Where does that leave us?
All of these disturbing elements – the Democrats’ dilemma, the media’s failures, and the cult-like, unquestioning support of Trump – could add up to one likelihood in November.
A win for Trump, and a terrible loss for democracy."
-
"There really is no comparison in the amount or intensity of coverage. One journalist, Jennifer Schulze, counted New York Times stories related to Biden’s age in the week following the debate; she counted a staggering 192 news and opinion pieces, compared to 92 stories on Trump – and that was in a week when the US supreme court had ruled he has immunity for official acts."
~ Margaret Sullivan

"Historically, Black voters have been the moral compass of this flawed nation, and they also serve as its most strategic voters. They put the health and security of the country before their own 'economic anxiety,' because they understand the stakes and most acutely feel the costs."
We talk about "the media" as though it's self-evident who comprises the guru class. Look closely: it remains largely white and male.

"Ever since the disastrous June 27th Presidential debate, we’ve heard from a chorus of overwhelmingly white pundits and experts asking President Biden to drop out of the race. Meanwhile, it seems that most Black Democratic voters, the base of the Democratic Party, have yet to budge from the Biden/Harris ticket."

"Critics of recent media coverage of Biden are dead right about one thing: Many outlets have for years been employing a significant double standard in covering Biden and his opponent, Donald Trump."
-
"One thing is for certain: If Biden stays in the race, every step, every word, every gesture will be parsed, dissected, and magnified. This is the reality, at least for the Democrats. Trump? Not so much. Or really, very little. …
Why are the rules so different for these two men? Both should be held accountable for their deeds and words. But they aren’t. Trump gets pass after pass."
-
"You know I have seen some things in my seven decades covering American politics. I have never seen anything quite like the wrangling, hand-wringing, and behind-the-scenes gamesmanship currently swirling around President Biden. These are compounded by the one-sided media coverage against Biden. And it isn’t over yet."
~ Dan Rather
Of course, Dan Rather is 92 years old, so who would imagine he's worth listening to, anyway?

"The fervor of the pundit class’s demands for the usurpation of Joe Biden—best president of my lifetime, holder of some $91 million in untransferable campaign money, and the freakin’ incumbent—is exceeded only by the preposterousness of its suggestions for how to do so."
~ Greg Olear

"But some of the coverage has started to resemble Fox News-levels of hysteria, portraying Biden as a senile figure with debilitating dementia while largely letting his opponent off the hook for the bizarre and sleepy behavior he has recently exhibited."
Perhaps New York Times is showing us that, when push comes to shove, there never has been much essential difference between it and Fox News or New York Post.
-
"It is one thing to suggest that Biden is not energetic enough to effectively run for office in such a crucial moment, or that he has lost his fast ball and should step aside for a new generation of leadership."
~ Oliver Darcy
