But yeah, Alex Thompson, I think he's at Axios now. He was at Politico. He was on this for a long time.

And the problem was, and I was thinking about this when I was listening to Kristen Walker too, is if you're one of those journalists who deviates just a little bit, if you're in corporate media and television, in the op-ed page of the New York Times, Washington Post, and you deviate just a little bit, you actually do start asking those questions.

you get mobbed, attacked by the people who you think matter, namely liberals. And it's a very aggressive and effective form of discipline to say, if you do do your job, we are going to spend three days on Twitter, you know, demonizing you, attacking you, trying to ruin your reputation. And no one wants that.

And so they get into this mindset of, oh, I better perform the way everybody expects me to perform, which is tell anyone defending Trump that they're lying, interrupt them, say we can't have those lies on the air and then switch to defending Biden. And so much of that dynamic was about that. So I'm glad Jan Crawford said that. But I think they needed some self-reflection.

Like, why was that so uncovered?

Yeah, I mean, it's so easy to dump on Joe Biden now because Joe Biden is never going to run again. No one needs him anymore for anything. And ever since he was forced out of the race, they kind of started turning on him. But here's the thing. Kamala Harris as vice president was not only one of the closest people to Joe Biden, at least in theory.

I mean, she met with him all the time, that's for sure. But she also has a constitutional duty as vice president. There's the 25th Amendment. to alert people if the person who has all this power, who's running the executive branch, who's the commander in chief of the armed forces, is incapable of doing the job.

And not only didn't she do that, she was one of the most overt liars in defending Joe Biden before he dropped out, insisting that he was sharp as a tack and all of that. Why isn't there, if this is a genuine sort of let's figure out what we did wrong kind of moment, Simply attacking Joe Biden is really kind of pointless.
