Stunned into silence

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, all the media (on both sides) could talk about was how bad Joe Biden’s 2024 poll numbers supposedly were, and how bad the Biden economy supposedly was. But Biden’s poll numbers keep trending in the right direction, and the economy is now so booming that even the media can’t get away with characterizing it as being bad.

So instead, the media is largely just saying nothing about Biden at all. This tweet does a remarkable job of summing up how the media has decided to say nothing about Biden now that it can’t come up with anything negative to say about him:

The cold hard reality is that President Biden has been on track for reelection for every minute of his presidency. Will it be close? Maybe. But Biden has been the odds-on favorite for 2024 all along. The problem is that if the media admits as much, then how is it supposed to scare and outrage viewers into staying tuned in?

So the media has always pretended Biden was in trouble. And now that Biden is doing so well that it can’t pretend he’s in trouble, the media is sort of pretending Biden doesn’t exist. Whatever. It doesn’t change the fact that Biden is in a strong position for 2024. Now let’s go win this.
