Times are hard at CNN. It is not a stretch at all to say that they are putting everything they can put right now into trying to save Biden's approval ratings, or at least his image. But it's not working, those damn poll numbers just ain't budging. Gallup's
poll for the month released today has him at 42%, one percent lower than last month. We've already seen plenty of other polls suggesting that this number is accurate or actually lower.
What Lemon is getting frusturated about, in short, is that you can't spin the narrative for the president if he isn't fucking doing anything. You can't spin the narrative when the only thing happening in Congress is two Democrats blocking the rest of the party from accomplishing any legislative goals. Or rather, what I should say, you can try to spin the narrative but it's a waste of fucking time. The American people may not all be politically attuned, but they can sense there is a lot of low-hanging fruit that the Democrats are choosing not to pick.
What would happen if Biden signed an EO decriminalizing marijuana? What would happen if he also released anyone currently serving time for weed possession on a misdemeanor charge? What if he actually tried to push for free college? What would happen if say, Biden decided to pick up a small pet cause to appeal to Republicans? These are all things that Biden, or not even Biden just Democrats in power could do and it would have real, tangible effects on their perception in the eyes of the public. But they haven't because all that matters right now is that they need to get paid. But brain rot has taken root, taken root so deeply that they can't even pay themselves.
How do you work with that, as a media spinster?
