Day 18: Fact Checkers Need Not Apply

So now that the media has decided that Joe Biden will be President, they can go back to fluffy puff pieces and softball questions for the next four years. Forget about the #resistence and fact-checking and hard-nosed questions screamed from the briefing room. No, the only stories you'll get on Biden for the next years will be on things like his favorite flavors of ice cream and the color of his socks. No, I'm not kidding. This is considered journalism now. Democracy dies in mediocrity.

George H.W. Bush was known for his socks, maybe Biden will be too? Today he wore dark blue socks adorned with lighter blue dogs. (Yes, there are plenty of more substantive things to tweet about but we can have some fun sometimes too.) pic.twitter.com/8xxTusXafQ
