Pundits Spend More Time on Biden Than Candidates Actually in the Debate

I talked about Andrea Mitchell earlier who led her show on tomorrow's debate with a picture of the one man not in the debate.

In viewing later shows on CNN and MSNBC-even I didn't subject mysefl to Fox today though sometimes I do; I want to know what everyone is saying-it's the same meme. Leading off the show with a picture of Biden and speculating over Biden.

Claiming he's going to cast this big shadow over the debate. One offender is Jake Tapper and I tweeted my complaint to him that he had more pictures of Biden than the candidates actually running.

However, I have to give him some credit he did respond.
"false but I hear your general complaint."

See that I appreciate as Tapper unlike so many Beltway pundits at least doesn't ignore his viewers or readers. As to his point I didn't actually count the number of pictures. But he did lead with Biden.

As I went on to respond to him, it's not just him it's the whole pundit class who has led with Biden and made this about him. Tapper then got back to me with this response."

"truth is, he's close to a decision so the political world is watching"

Wow when have we heard this before? I responded thus:

"Ok. See hate to be cynical as we've heard this so many times before. If we do hear from him in next few days"

If we do hear from him in next few days I'll remember I heard it from you first."

"However, if he waits until after first debate to get in I think many may be critical of that "

So I'll give Mr. Tapper so props for responding. We'll see if his prediction is in better than the last 87,000 predictions that his decision is imminent. 

What's he doing hoping she'll fall on her face? I am no impressed.
