Their goddamned RATINGS. That's what's behind the attacks on Biden

He got ahead of the pack which threatened the media's "horserace" and with that their goddamned profits from ratings/advertising. So they have to devise a way to knock him down so they can have their precious horserace back on track and won't lose MONEY.

If you believe this is about anything else, maybe think again.

I posted about this months ago. The function of the Cable Noise Infotainment Media is to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed. The horse race narrative is very helpful in doing so. It wouldn’t make any difference who is on top of the polling heap. They will get built up then torn down and it will be a rinse and repeat method again and again.
