The US media generally is none too pleased with Biden on the ballot. They keep looking for someone else which, I think, is why they keep pimping Gov. Cuomo's pressers. The New York Times last month called Cuomo's coronavirus briefing deliveries “articulate, consistent and often tinged with empathy." They said his pressers are like a "tender embrace."
This has put the media in a weird place since the state of New York is doing the worst of all 50 states (or 57, in case BHO is lurking). Cuomo's "tender embrace" has led NY to a high death rate of 139 per 100,000. This number was made worse by Cuomo's personal decision to force nursing homes to accept any elderly person who had been infected with the virus. This led directly to many more unnecessary deaths. It's been a horrible performance lately.
By contrast, Georgia and Florida have much lower death rates. Georgia is 13 per 100,00 while Florida is at just 8. But the media collectively ignores those states and their governors while they slobber all over Cuomo.
Why? Because both Brian Kemp and Ron DeSantis are Republicans. The media hates that so they ignore it. Doesnt "fit the narrative." Even worse, at least to the media, is that both of these governors have been using the words "reopen" and "economy." And that drives the media batty.
