There is nothing reporters like more than counting a Democrat's money. Joe Biden spent his entire adult life in public service. As he was preparing to leave office, he had a widowed daughter-in-law to take care of, and, as a man in his mid-70s, lacked the nest egg you might otherwise expect from someone who, like Mitch McConnell, somehow figured out how to become a multi-millionaire **while in office**.
Biden was in such a tight spot that President Obama offered to lend him money to help his family. So what does Biden do? Nothing unusual for a former politician. He gave some paid speeches. He wrote a book. He quickly amassed a small a fortune, which he was entitled to do, and for that, he got a day's worth of shitty coverage from the media. Of course, while reporters were clutching their pearls, they neglected to discuss the backstory or the fact that Biden gave a lot of his money to charity as well. Anything to stir the shit.

And the media is happy as clams that Biden is no longer the runaway front runner. They LIVE for horse races. Can’t help themselves. Articles everywhere gleefully exclaiming that he is no longer the front runner after they’ve spent weeks tearing him down. They will do this to every Democrat, including the eventual nominee. They’ve learned nothing.
