They don’t know anything about policy and they’re bored by it because they’re all wealthy and nothing affects them. They want to ask Harris “Donald Trump tweeted this about you two hours ago what do you say?”

You know how I know this? They’ve had four years to ask Joe Biden as many meaty policy questions as they want. They still could! He’s still president, though not a candidate. But they don’t.

Spot on. The scales have fallen from my eyes regarding corporate media. They pretend to care, but behave as if their profits and feelings are of utmost concern. The literal weeks of above-the-fold headlines about Biden's mental state while sane-washing (love that term) Trump's insane blathering demonstrates it clearly. The credibility of these "news" sources is shot and they are no longer worth my time or money.

That's why it's so shocking and refreshing when a journalist (usually foreign or independent) like Jonathan Swan (or our Paul Waldman) actually acts like he deserves real answers during an interview and not lies or meaningless blather.
