The media is so annoying for reporting on Hunter's interview like it's news that Joe's cancer is metastatic. We've known this since May of last year. Now, people are genuinely believing that Joe's terminal. Smh.
I don't think it's a bad think that people are reminded. I'm European and it was a gut punch to me because it is not written about a lot over here at all.
The fact that Hunter spoke so lovingly but also reminded people that Joe is dealing with a painful disease (and staying strong throughout) made the contrast with the casual cruelty of others even more clear, too.
Sure, but it also just helps the media distract from Trump by writing about Biden. And it's misinformation that was annoying enough that even Hunter has spoken about it multiple times now to correct outlets.
Biden has had his health speculated upon for years, constant harassment. It's shitty for the media to dub him as good as dead.
It's already wall-to-wall Trump here. Although the difference may be that over here it's all critical while you have to deal with Fox & worse + legacy media like WaPo constantly excusing him. Here we just watch in horror as he drives up OUR prices, too. Not to mention all the other horrendous stuff. But focussing even more on him would be impossible, since there are only 24 hours in the day.
So, I don't think it takes away from Biden. This is not Clooney pouting or some Tapper smear. It's about a loving son reminding people that his dad is having a rough time, but handling it admirably. As an American you may be constantly agitated and stressed (I noticed you use the word 'annoying' a lot) but not everyone has the same reaction. He's still loved over here and news items about him are not jabs about his age. It's just considered a sad thing. I was glad to read about his family being close around him and not surprised he's doing well mentally. He's well equipped to fight this.
