Even political journos think MSNBC’s 2024 coverage in Iowa today is ridiculous

Keep in mind, Joe Biden has been president for a little over two months:

And even political journos who, you know, get paid to cover this think it’s ridiculous. Fellow MSNBCer Kasie Hunt weighs in:

CNN editor Leigh Musnil tweets, “make it stopppp”:

And the NYT’s Shane Goldmacher says he hates this:

The LA Times’ Sarah Wire answered with a meme:

And The Recount’s Steve Morris notes that there are more important things the media should be covering:

1,287 people died from COVID yesterday. Dozens of states are curtailing the right to vote. The US has no plan to even mitigate the worst effects of climate change. This isn't cute or funny – it's rich people wanting to make more money off of a failing system https://t.co/K0ja0pP5d3

That’s a very good point! Journos didn’t even ask a question on Covid yesterday>

Isn’t it interesting that President Biden didn’t get one question about #COVID19 yesterday?

Maybe President Biden wasn’t eager to talk about how President Trump’s vaccines solved it?

And you wonder why they’re losing viewers?

Monday: "Barely two months into the post-Trump era, news outlets are indeed losing much of the audience and readership they gained during his chaotic presidency."https://t.co/SwiH4bPeUd
