Biden DEI Campaign Official Accuses Media of 'Election Interference' in Biden Debate Coverage

2024-07-04

"Muh. Russia!"
"Muh! Hotlanta!"
[REDSTATE] A senior re-election campaign official for President Joe The Big Guy Biden
Joe <q>The Big Guy</q> Biden

...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
announced that editorial boards and editorial writers are guilty of election influencing or interference during an MSNBC interview on Monday. Former Atlanta Mayor, now senior campaign advisor to Biden, Keisha Lance Bottoms lambasted editorial boards, accusing them of "influencing an election" by writing negatively about Biden.

Bottoms was specifically lashing out at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's editorial board when they criticized President Biden's debate performance and opined that he should step down as a candidate.

Bottoms falsely claimed that editorial boards like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution must "honor fair elections" and thinks that any criticism of Biden is somehow not honoring fair elections and is influencing or interfering in this upcoming election.

"Let me just say I was very disappointed with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution," she said. "We have talked about making sure we're protecting elections and making sure there's no undue influence, this was undue influence by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution or an attempt to influence."

Bottoms' comments seemingly show a growing concern in the Biden campaign that the media is no longer running cover for her boss after what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote in their editorial regarding the debate and Biden's performance.

"This wasn't a bad night. It was confirmation of the worst fears of some of Biden's most ardent supporters. Biden deserves a better exit in public life than the one he endured when he shuffled off the stage on Thursday night."

MSNBC's Chris Jansing attempted to push back on Bottoms' comments by asking her if that wasn't the role of the editorial staff, or editorials in general, to criticize politicians and their performances, to which Bottoms made her out-of-this-world comments regarding the supposed requirement of the editorial boards never to criticize her boss.

Bottoms' comments are just another example of the Biden election team trying to run cover for Biden after his unmitigated disaster of a debate performance against Former President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
. In the days since the debate, more and more members of the media, notably from the networks that are typically supportive, or at the very least, soft on Biden, have been raising serious questions and alarms about Biden's abilities or lack thereof.

#10 I believe what they did is called coverage.

They can call it whatever they want. It sure as hell ain't journalism.

#4 THEY got to pick the venue, the time and place, and were provided the questions before hand. The DNCMSM moderators never challenged the candidate on his often repeated lies.

#2 The White House trying to control the "free" press.
Just think how many times they rolled over and obeyed. The media is the enemy of the people.
