The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Genuine curiosity is how long does the media give Harris a honeymoon? YES the media is Liberal and anti trump *but* can they, will they sustain the honeymoon until Election Day?

The dems have been doing the Extended Media Honeymoon since 2008. Remember this gem? YouTube: Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose Admit “We Don’t Know Much about Barack Obama” (AIM Archives)
This was IIRC the day before the election!

Obama never got any hard questioning in 2008 or even in 2012, when Candy Crowley intervened in a debate and bailed him out.
With Hillary!, they tried to make her classified documents scandal vanish but it was too big. Any normal candidate who destroyed evidence the way she did would have wound up behind bars but she managed to escape.

2020. Biden effectively didn't campaign at all once COVID started. They hid him in the basement the entire time.

And here we are. Harris NEVER campaigned. Think about that - the democrat palace coup deposed the guy the people voted for and the replacement has yet to face even a single question in 17 days and counting.

They've been doing this for almost 2 decades now, the "party of democracy".
