        As recently as Thursday on Ari Melber's show he and his panel they were praising Biden like a choir praising God. To drive home the point how impactful Biden's policies have already been they showed this chart a least three times. I know many of Biden's programs are temporary but it's a very powerful infographic.

        I had a bit of chuckle. Look how awful it was under Obama. I was a serious lib then. And I hardly paid any attention to the poor. I'm working on it but I can still be a shit leftist. I totally forgot all about the rent moratorium expiring and - of course - Melber and his guests didn't say a fucking word about it. When I realized the evictions were going to start as early as Monday - I got very angry at myself for forgetting. But I was 100 times as mad at MSNBC. That infographic is propaganda. Also I took it in without understanding the context at all.

        The average viewer age for MNSBC is 68. And they consume that channel like food. They won't really understand the suffering that's coming until MSNBC starts to cover it in a few weeks (or whatever). If it's not on tv - it doesn't matter.

        The viewers will feel sorry for the evicted but they won't put one and one together. And the network will "forget" to mention that Biden and the dems let the deadline expire literally the day before the house went on their six fucking week vacation.

        And if the MNSBC anchors and panelists blame anybody - it'll be the republicans.
