The irresponsible behavior of our media - on any TV channel - only demeans and humiliates the great accomplishments of President Biden. He saved our nation from the deadly spread of COVID, while Trump was recommending ingesting bleach. He passed the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law early in his presidency. The last quarter of 2020, our economy dropped 32.9% - the largest drop in our history. Due to Biden, we now have the fastest growing economy in the world. Under Trump, violence, murder, and hate crimes radically increased by 30%. (FBI Records) Biden has cut this number in half by securing historic investments in crime prevention. (Third Way, May, 2024) (FBI Reports for 2023) While Trump screamed about immigration, it is Biden who has secured our borders. More people are working than at any time in American history. Unemployment has been at 4% or lower for several years, including 3.4% in February of 2023. With Trump, the unemployment rate was 6.3% (FactCheck.org)

CNN failed to moderate the presidential debate. I would grade them a D- on this undertaking There was no effort to regulate the political discussion and refrain Trump from his disgusting and offensive fictional attack aimed at President Biden. When faced with a bullying assault, Biden did what any smart person would - shut up and shut down. He didn't take the bait to fight.

I don't know if CNN started this cycle of attacks on President Biden's reaction to their failed moderation and to deflect attention from their own failure, but my recommendation would be to contact The Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They regulate all "national and international communications through cable, radio, television, satellite and wire." (USA.gov) Write them a letter and recommend an investigation.

For our freedom, our system of justice and laws, and our democracy to survive, we need President Joe Biden in the White House another four years.

It is indeed a frightening time. Trump MUST be stopped before the whole world ends up in a war between freedom and a new form of slavery.
