4. The respectable MSM is gone,

They will concentrate on spending during Biden's presidency, just like clock work. Republicans spend when they are in power to make them look good, but when Democrats take power it's all about austerity to denigrate the Democrats. It's already started. We can't afford what Biden has in mind. Think of our grandkids.

It gets old Kentuck, the MSM works for Republicans, it keeps their narratives on the front page.

I'm not talking about internet media like DU, mainly talking about cable news and major newspapers.
