Your arguments are very nicely said. All the things you've said paint a very clear picture of what is important to you. Sometimes what you omit from a piece like this is telling too.

Trump makes a comment about "Black jobs" and "the Blacks", neither Biden nor CNN pushed back. Jack didn't seem to think that instance of racism was noteworthy enough for this piece.
I've been a subscriber to this blog since the beginning. I may not read everything but I want to support journalism. Not everything that comes out has to be about my interests. However, in a piece this long, that references Trump's racism and Biden's lack of pushback, it's notable that only one instance of racism made this piece. The lack of pushback from the author with respect to the anti-Black racism is as noteworthy as Biden's lack of pushback last night. Black people notice. We definitely notice.
Well, it was sort of like 9/11. As we watched this catastrophe with our jaws on the floor, we forgot what Trump said. He said a whole series of awful things. That was traumatic.
Like I said, I was too busy wetting my pants seeing Joe Biden fall apart. Not an excuse. Sometimes I can't do two things at once. I'm not the spry. nimble kid who escaped 1 World Trade Center 23 years ago. But I went back and noted Trump's terrible words.

Can't argue with ya—I definitely should have remembered to mention that. My apologies—I've updated the piece and linked to your comment as well.
Thanks for the update.
thanks for flagging me down!

let’s not try to excuse something like this. call people out.(or in if you prefer) and make amends but let’s not make excuses for it.
