23. I noticed the poor treatment of Biden 20+ years ago
I worked as a staffer on his first presidential campaign, and part of my job was to put together press clips for the NH state director (this was pre-Google, obviously!). There was always a snarky undercurrent in the coverage of Biden. There was a pretty obvious bias in favor of Mike Dukakis (Swarthmore, Harvard, lives in an upscale liberal community), while Biden's intellect and seriousness were questioned, despite his stellar work on the foreign relations and judiciary committees.
