Hack MSNBC host Joy Reid on Tuesday openly plotted with Symone Sanders, urging the Biden senior campaign advisor to have her candidate mock Donald Trump’s children and act as the official “fact checker” of Donald Trump.
Regarding the big debate, Reid sounded like DNC television, deeming the scandals surrounding Hunter Biden to be “fake”: “The expectation is that Donald Trump will spend a lot of time going after Hunter Biden and try to induce or sort of lure the press into covering sort of fake scandals regarding the President's son.”
She then lobbied the Biden campaign to trash Trump’s own kids:
Has Vice President Biden prepared a line? The Trump boys have never had a job other than working for their daddy and wouldn't have anything if it weren't for him employing them. Has the Vice President prepared a line to say, “Have you met your kids?” Like, is there any line that he's prepared to talk about Donald Trump's kids?
Earlier in the interview, Reid floated the idea that the Biden campaign should be the official fact checker of the debate: “Chris Wallace says that he doesn't intend to fact check, that he doesn’t see that as his role. Does Vice President Biden believe that he then is the one that needs to fact-check Donald Trump if and when he says something that is a lie?”
So one candidate should fact check the candidate he is competing against? That’s a bit like asking Pepsi to weigh in on the taste of Coke. This was too much even for Sanders, who replied, “It is not his job to fact-check.... It's the independent press's job. I do not doubt that there will be any shortage of fact-checkers on the job tonight.”
With media types like Reid, we can guess what their conclusion will be.

JOY REID: Chris Wallace says that he doesn't intend to fact check, that he doesn’t see that as his role. Does Vice President Biden believe that he then is the one that needs to fact-check Donald Trump if and when he says something that is a lie?
SYMONE SANDERS (Biden campaign senior advisor): No, joy. Tonight, again, Joe Biden is going to speak directly to the American people. It is not his job to fact-check. It's his job to articulate his vision. We believe that it is the moderator's job. I know what Chris Wallace has said but I've also seen him hold Donald Trump accountable. I've also seen him hold us accountable on a number of occasions. So it's the moderator's job, and, frankly, it's the independent press's job. I do not doubt that there will be any shortage of fact-checkers on the job tonight.
...REID: The expectation is that Donald Trump will spend a lot of time going after Hunter Biden and try to induce or sort of lure the press into covering sort of fake scandals regarding the President's son. How has the Vice President prepared for those attacks? And what is he prepared to do in response, or to say in response?

REID: Has Vice President Biden prepared a line? The Trump boys have never had a job other than working for their daddy and wouldn't have anything if it weren't for him employing them. Has the Vice President prepared a line to say, “Have you met your kids?” Like, is there any line that he's prepared to talk about Donald Trump's kids? One of whom was involved in one of his tax schemes?
...REID [To Stacey Abrams]: But I want to show you just what the debate is hinging on. These are the topics that they've put forward. Some of them make sense, the records of these two men, the Supreme Court obviously, COVID-19 is a huge issue, the economy, race and violence in our cities. The integrity of the election. Are these the kinds of issues that would be litigated tonight that will ease the fears and inspire people's sense of hope that says I want to vote? Do these sound like they're on target?
