       It's tempting to say that the second most significant outcome of the debate was its confirmation that Big Journalism's political coverage -- with a few honorable individual exceptions -- has learned almost nothing from its horrendous failures of the past. It's worse than that, though.When the top story remains Biden's terrible fumbling, with broad indifference to the torrent of sewage that came out of Trump's mouth, let's face it.Journalism is failing again, but on purpose this time.

       @dangillmor It can't "learn" anything if the people running the organizations have a vested interest in seeing Trump win

       @ZacBelado @dangillmor Trump was the best thing for news media since George W.Trump provided an entire cottage industry of political commentary based around Dems pearl-clutching.I think the real worry is how Biden is going to affect turn-out and down-ballot races.During an election it's the job of the presidential candidate to energise the base, kinda feels like the other way around at this point.
