Lawrence O’Donnell had David Rothkopf and Kurt Andersen on to discuss Rothkopf’s USA Today article “Biden is boring and that’s OK” which most of the media chose to ignore. The discussion starts at the 7:41 mark.
Rothkopf listed the important things Biden has accomplished. What really struck me was Andersen talked about how exciting Trump was for those covering and that “some of them probably genuinely feel that they are no longer an exciting show. “
That rings true for me. I think a lot of reporters and pundits loved being part of a really big “shew” and their egos are suffering because they aren’t part of one anymore. They are like reporters who just want to be in the center of attention covering exciting stories like murder, fires and scandals rather than boring, yet critical, things like school board meetings.
there’s so little daylight between press narrative and GOP
