So he tells a joke about –

Puerto Rico, the number of mentions on CNN about this joke in the last 48 hours, this was as of last night, 143 on MSNBC 101, on ABC 53, on NBC 32, and on CBS 31.

In two days,

They talked about that joke effectively nonstop.

You know what it means to have 31 mentions on NBC News about this particular thing?

That is a crazy – that is saturation.

Last night, Joe Biden called the half of America that's going to vote for Donald Trump garbage.

Right.

Do you think that the word garbage is going to appear on CNN 141 times over the next two days?

No.

I would bet no.

Now, what's the difference?

Well, one difference is that it was a comedian telling a joke, and it's the president of the United States telling what he actually thinks.

Another difference is, again, it's a comedian with, at best –

a tenuous connection to the Trump campaign.

And on the other hand, you have the actual sitting president at a vice presidential campaign event telling the vice president – sorry, telling the entire country at an event sanctioned by the Kamala Harris campaign that half of Americans are garbage.

And I guarantee the media is not going to cover this in the same way.

I mean, here – let me –

I don't know if Jamie can bring this up, but I tweeted about this last night that Politico, when they initially tried to write the story about what had been said.

by Joe Biden, they said that Biden had called racism against Puerto Ricans garbage.
