As far as I know, this didn’t come up on the Sunday shows. And that means the media sees it as old news and they will not make any effort to get this news out beyond these perfunctory stories from last week. Every Democrat who goes on TV has to be saying this over and over like a mantra.
I get the sense that Biden, being an old fellow with a lot of life experience, believes that the current economic crises will right themselves since they are caused by external, specific circumstances to the pandemic so he’s just got his head down and plowing forward with his plans. The problem, of course, is that people get ideas in their heads that are very difficult to supplant, especially in an ugly time like the current one. It may not matter if the economy improves, particularly if the media insists on telling the “failure” story in their ongoing attempt to be “fair and balanced” in their coverage after the disaster of the Trump presidency.
I hope people will get a new sense of optimism (or at least relief) once we get through this last mile of COVID crisis but the whole world seems kind of dark right now and I don’t know if that’s going to change any time soon.
