The pace at which this story has unfolded across the US media has left liberal commentators gasping for air. They quickly dispensed with their criticism of Biden for selfishly clinging to power and started eulogising him for his selfless change of heart. What is next now that Harris is the presumptive nominee?

‘Independent media has been vindicated’ - An interview with Cenk Uygur
For months - even years - much of mainstream US media downplayed or ignored the obvious - the unmistakable signs of Biden’s cognitive decline.
One commentator who can fairly say he dissented from mainstream opinion and saw this coming is Cenk Uygur. The host of The Young Turks spoke with us about why the liberal media got it wrong on this story.

Re: Media failing at journalism: I thought the reason news media became awful is because it so much cheaper to have spoiled media brats argue than it is to send out reporters to find out what actually happens in the world... but the media personalities are paid so much its hard to believe that's really the explanation.

Americans, you can either vote for Harris and donate to freedom or continue buying superhero NFTs, golden assassination shoes, Drumpf bibles, outdated “Brandon” merch, or plummeting DJT stocks. Vote for the winner and drop the orange chicken dinner.

Israel is America’s ally and friend. You do not abandon a friend, but you do try to influence your friend to improve your friends behavior.

Are you going to talk about DT’s support of Israel’s current political leadership? It comes across as if Democratic pundits are the only ones supporting it.

She had not been elected yet as the “president” her role is and has been vice president . Her speech is a clear contrast to how she will handle the war… she spoke more loud and clear to all of American about her concern and wishes for Gaza …. Now we have to elect her to see what she will do because not electing her and allowing Trump to win will not allow us to have a voice anymore!
