MSNBC Swerves Around New York Times Page 1 Story Noting Biden Couldn't Do 4 More Years

Thursday's front page at The New York Times featured a story headlined, "Biden, Wearied and Stinging, Prepares to Exit." White House reporters Peter Baker and Zolan Kanno-Youngs were blunt in the third paragraph about Biden's inability to do the job any more (without openly expressing concern over how he's doing it right now).
Time is catching up with Mr. Biden. He looks a little older and a little slower with each passing day. Aides say he remains plenty sharp in the Situation Room, calling world leaders to broker a cease-fire in Lebanon or deal with the chaos of Syria’s rebellion. But it is hard to imagine that he seriously thought he could do the world’s most stressful job for another four years.
Somehow, the morning pundits on MSNBC didn't think this passage was the highlight. Instead, Way Too Early host Jonathan Lemire led off his 5 am show with readings that swerved around the blunt stuff. He began paragraphs six and seven. Then he briefly noted Biden's "fragility" was "painfully clear" in paragraph 13, then rushed forward to paragraph 20 touting his "command of the details."
