CNN, which often dedicates wall-to-wall coverage for any latest controversy from President Trump, virtually avoided covering Joe Biden's "you ain't black" remarks Friday morning that sparked backlash throughout the day.

The presumptive Democrat nominee sparked a firestorm on Friday during an interview with Charlamagne tha God on the radio show "The Breakfast Club" as he defended his record with the black community.

“I tell you if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” Biden said.

Biden's outrageous claim is that he is the (self-appointed) arbiter of racial identity in America.

He is simply claiming that he is entitled to pass judgement on the racial identity of other individuals (based, I might add, primarily upon their political views).

CNN (re Biden’s comments), “Comments Not Newsworthy”.

I still think that he will be led off stage or camera mumbling about something incoherent. Wait. He’s been incoherent all along. God help us all if he gets elected. The most unforgivable aspect of Byedone’s “campaign” is the blatant ignorance and neglect of the left media to be honest about his dementia. This is an Insidious endeavor. Something’s gonna happen with him. There’s still time for him to totally self destruct. Cause he’s getting worse every day.

Last night’s NBC news with Lester Dolt gave story 15 seconds in the middle of broadcast. 15 seconds. Now if it was Trump they would have led with it for 20 minutes, interviewing all the masses, inciting a riot and filming it, plus a panel discussion. And people actually believe the news isn’t bias.

The media always thought they could “elect” whomever they want.

They have lost their way and are now irrelevant as they have decided to fight for that power instead of just reporting facts.
