Here we have Jay Clayton’s confirmation process, and of course, the mainstream media can’t help but spin it into a big “political drama” narrative. Let’s break this down: originally, President Biden’s first choice was simply sent packing by legislators over “lack of experience.” Now, what does this say about the political landscape? One out of touch choice followed by another provides a golden opportunity for outlets like CNN to spin their anti-establishment yarns, labeling it as a “setback” rather than admitting political miscalculations.

Fox News, on the other hand, might be relishing the chaos but will dance around the elephants in the room—like the fact that both parties are operating off of the same faulty script of insider pick-and-choose, while pretending to care about qualifications. They’d rather make heroes and villains out of this circus than acknowledge the real issues at play: who’s actually qualified and who’s just part of the crony corruption game.

It’s rich to watch as they all pretend to prioritize “experience” when their track records show they’ve been pushing political puppets for years. Expect a flurry of headlines rife with sensationalism, painting Clayton’s confirmation as either a heroic comeback or a boneheaded blunder. Meanwhile, the American people remain in the dark on what these confirmations really mean for them.
