I missed the speech, and turned to CNN when I got home where I heard someone supposedly

[JohnSJ]

analyzing the presentation, talking about how the speech sounded like a convention speech, and how the majority don’t want Biden running in 2024.

WTF does any of that have to do with about the substance of the speech

Needless to say I turned to MSNBC

Added later:

It looks like my brief impression was correct

1. Do you have in demand? Chris Hayes on MSNBC carried....

The speech

[JohnSJ]

4. Yes I do, and will listen later tonight

[lapucelle]

14. The speaker is a Republican commentator who appears on CNN when they have panel discussions.

His name is Scott Jennings.

2. Cause CNN is now more interested in appealing to Republicans...

Who want to throw freedom of the press in the gutter than defend Democracy.

[dchill]

5. Yes, they're VERY CONCERNED...

... about their ratings.

[Cha]

10. YES! CANCEL CNN!!

TY.. I did in 2002!

[patphil]

3. It was a great speech, perhaps his best ever.

It did sound like he was on the campaign trail, but it also put to rest any suggestions that he is deteriorating mentally. He was strong, full of life, and looked every bit Presidential.
The content of his speech will amaze you.

[Mike Nelson]

6. Yikes!

... watched it on NBC... I did switch over to FOX to see if they were covering... there was a commercial on... it was a fine speech. I never think of Biden as a great speech-maker, but he's been really great. I guess CNN is in one of their "look at us, we're not liberal" moods.

[Demsrule86]

7. CNN sucks

[Cha]

8. It's CNN.. They're RW NOW!!

MFs Hate Democracy!!

I Hope that Helps!

ETA.. Cancel CNN!

[Raven123]

9. The sign of a perfectly executed speech. Can't criticize it, so off to something else

[Blaukraut]

11. A bunch of CNN hosts had almost identical tweets criticizing the Marines behind the prez

They were clearly given talking points by their new MAGA overlord.

12. Speech in full

[JohnSJ]

13. Thanks

[emulatorloo]

15. Thank you. Saw it live but I need to see it again.

[cbabe]

17. Thanks due to original poster: ancianita!

[GuppyGal]

16. I watched CNN too after the speech and came away with a very different opinion

Why is this even allowed here?

[Bev54]

18. It was from a republican. I turned over just through MSNBC commercial and heard him

He used to work for McConnell. That is the reason, I really don't watch them, just turned to see their perspective while waiting for Chris to come back.

[JohnSJ]

20. I was listening on satellite radio so I didn't know who it was. Thanks for identifying him

[Bev54]

21. I have been trying to remember his name all night and it just came to me

Scott Jennings

[crickets]

19. There is a certain crowd who are scared President Biden will run again in 2024.

They know he's doing a fantastic job, they know that most of the country has recognized he's doing a job that is by far better than his predecessor, that Biden can beat tfg, and it's even more certain he can beat him today than it was in 2020.

A lot of powerful, moneyed interests are unhappy about that.

Every tiny chance to say so, they're going to find someone to take jabs at President Biden and pooh-pooh a run in 2024, but not because he's is a bad candidate. It's because he's an excellent candidate for reelection and that's not what they want.

It's doubtful they missed the point of the speech, if they bothered to listen at all. They don't care about what President Biden had to say. In their eyes, it's not about the country. Everything is all about them. It's about them and their petty, selfish interests, interests not served and catered to by a president who actually performs the job as intended.

22. CNN is going out of their way to suck up to the GOP.

Ever since they had a change at the top.
