"I can't believe that what Biden had to say was not televised! Once again, it is all about are narcissistic president and no one else!" Remember that on November 3rd! VOTE FOR BIDEN!! VOTE 'ALL' BLUE!!

(5,303 posts)They're going to have to DRAW media attention to them, not wait for the media to come to them. Don't ask me how you do that. If I knew I would be on the campaign doing it.

(15,325 posts)Which politicians are regulars in the headlines, every time a one-line-omg utterance is made?
There's the tell.
No one really knew what Clinton's outstanding policy platform was about because the media refused to air it.
Maybe when Biden's declared the official candidate (finally) he'll be in a position to demand airtime from the media.

(4,612 posts)Media are covering Trump because people glue their eyes to outrage. If we want this to change, we need to change what we pay attention to.

(15,325 posts)In interviewing Hillary during her campaign, both kept detouring her policy talk with "but what about you're likeability problem, your"re emails"...she was not allowed to speak to anything but where they directed that conversation.
She was proven quite likeable in the end however, beating Trump by 3 million votes. They lied.
Chuck & Andrea need to be denied access to any interviews with VP Biden.

(34,661 posts)Working the 2016 campaign from August thru Election day,every negative sound bit came in Phone contacts with Registered Dems here locally as well as in Midwest States that I had the pleasure of phone banking.
Fully expect at least a half dozen on air Talents,teleprompter readers,with their Producers to go full on trashing Biden.
All about creating a so called Horse Race in order to collect Ad Profits.

(4,950 posts)Even if he laughed at Trump when the ass calls him Sleepy Joe and said "yeah, so I am not a drama queen but sometimes affairs of state can be a little boring. My plan is that we will all be able to sleep at night by the end of my first term." I mean, most of this nation don't have the attention span to focus on policy. They are just slaves to distraction. Remember how popular Palin was an she was a blooming idiot? Trump's big policies were "build a wall." That is the extent of the detail. So I think it is a trap for Biden to get mired in policy details (see what it did to Warren in the primaries?).
He should just keep it simple. If people want details, they can use Google or go on YouTube where everything can be spoon-fed to them.

(15,325 posts)He doesn't have to show us "who he is", we know him well.
His commments are exactly what needs to be said & well timed & he also has the added advantage of simply giving Trump enough rope..
Maybe when he is finally allowed the the title of 2020 Democratic Candidate, he will receive more press time.
It's certainly a game of strategy in a time when public appearances have altered the normal pattern of a campaign, due to the deadly virus.
