The Heir isn't a Biden "lackey" by any means, but he sees the media trying to derail the infrastructure bill by spinning a supposed veto threat on Biden's part that he then supposedly "walked" back from.  He doesn't believe any of this is true, and he wants to see some healthfully dissentful reporting from the trenches to the opposite.  That would be media reporting on media, and how the media's using its access to inside politics to make a largely untrue assertion.  He wonders whether the media's aware of the need for us to make infrastructure upgrades for which the bills are the beginning in order to compete with China, and also the rest of the industrialized world, because the Heir sees the US as the only industrialized country without high speed rail for example.  He thinks that Acela Express is able to go to the full 90-120 past New London, CT, going north, but the portion of the NEC going through practically our backyard is still from the 80's, along with those stripey bread box cars Amtrak is still using.  The Heir's question for the media is this: do they really want us to continue to lag behind to the point where it'll be too late, and the only countries with high speed rail and artificial islands and muchogrids are totalitarian dictatorships?  If so, the Heir wants to guilt trip the media about tending toward that sense of global dictatorship while claiming they're somehow against it by posing as the so-called "Fourth Estate."

"Hey media, riddle me this: What did Jamal Khashoggi die for anyway?  Did he just die in vain while the rest of you practice general abdication from your duties to the public?"
