That’s exactly right. The tell is not them throwing rocks at Biden. The tell is the curious absence of calls for Trump to drop out too.
@inthehands @nancylwayne the tell is the look on Trump's face while he watched Biden implode. He couldn't believe his luck. Biden is handing him the presidency.
@inthehands @nancylwayne they have written tons of articles and op-eds on Trumps disastrous plans if he gets in office again. There’s no shortage of describing Trumpism as authoritarian and contrary to American principles in those publications.
The Atlantic did a whole issue dedicated just to that as well.
@TwShiloh @nancylwayne Yes, without a doubt, there’s been a fair bit of negative coverage of Trump. I read the news too.
That notwithstanding, to pull so hard for Biden to drop out with hardly a breath of all that past reporting is…a notable choice. This op-ed should have been the norm, not a voice in the wilderness:

@inthehands @nancylwayne I figure they just assumed it wouldn’t make a difference but you’re right…it’s still important to get it on the record.
