Mattthew Dowd today
The media must do a better job on this race. For example, instead of asking why Biden isn’t doing rallies, they should be asking Trump why he is doing rallies in the midst of a deadly pandemic. Too many in the media are still operating upon old models of how campaigns work.

Either you care both about Trump being sexual predator & Clinton emails, or u care about neither. But don't talk about one without the other— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) November 1, 2016
Kinda wild to learn at this late date that the position of chief political analyst at ABC News was actually one of those just-hire-any-warm-body-and-have-'em-learn-about-politics-on-the-fly deals.
Honestly if I'd have known I might have applied for the gig myself since I wouldn't have arrived on the job dragging behind me an entire caravan of fatuous opinions and asinine Tweets that I would eventually have to scrub once they started being used by disreputable Liberal bloggers to show that I never had the slightest fucking idea what I was talking about,
Remember, Remember!

I kinda think that those fatuous opinions and asinine Tweets are seen by his paymasters as a feature, not a bug. "News" and especially "political news" isn't about edification after all, it's about profit.
Also sort of illuminating of the opinion those paymasters hold of their audience.
