A point that needs to be made as "the media" mount a feeding frenzy to hound Biden out of the race, focusing exclusively on him and ignoring Trump — and significantly boosting Trump's chances to win, it has to be said:
Who do "the media" really care about? Specifically, who do they care about if Trump wins? Do "the media" care about the people who will be hurt first and foremost if Trump wins, the most vulnerable in our society?
"The desire to defend Biden appears to be so widespread among the [Congressional Black Caucus] members, three people aligned with the group said, it is possible the group formalizes its support for him in a statement over the next several days. The group’s influence could blunt the widespread concerns of other colleagues about Biden…."
~ Marianna Sotomayor and Leigh Ann Caldwell
With President Biden once again on the political ropes, some Black House members appear ready to rally behind the embattled chief executive, in an embrace that will significantly influence whether the Democratic president can stay in his reelection race, according to five people familiar with the conversations.
"Nor is there much self-scrutiny or effort to course-correct. Only self-satisfaction and an apparent commitment to more of the same. ...
Where does that leave us?
All of these disturbing elements – the Democrats’ dilemma, the media’s failures, and the cult-like, unquestioning support of Trump – could add up to one likelihood in November.
A win for Trump, and a terrible loss for democracy."
"There really is no comparison in the amount or intensity of coverage. One journalist, Jennifer Schulze, counted New York Times stories related to Biden’s age in the week following the debate; she counted a staggering 192 news and opinion pieces, compared to 92 stories on Trump – and that was in a week when the US supreme court had ruled he has immunity for official acts."
~ Margaret Sullivan

"Historically, Black voters have been the moral compass of this flawed nation, and they also serve as its most strategic voters. They put the health and security of the country before their own 'economic anxiety,' because they understand the stakes and most acutely feel the costs."
We talk about "the media" as though it's self-evident who comprises the guru class. Look closely: it remains largely white and male.
