I was working on another episode when tonight's debate between Biden and Trump was set to air. I wasn't going to watch it, but then the texts started. "Just horrible."  "We are doomed."  "It hurts." "What an embarrassment." 

So I tuned in, and, yup. So we're going to break down some of the media headlines post-debate, and some analysis of the two or so minutes that Biden and Trump incoherently talked about Israel, Gaza and Hamas, including Trump calling Biden "a Palestinian, but a very weak one."  Huh?  

So as a total departure from the regular Arabs in Media podcast, don't mind my hysterical laughter. It was a relief-valve from months of horror. But at the end - a few words and a prediction about Biden.
