'A political earthquake': Media coverage of Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race - Poynter
Briefly

Somehow 'wild' doesn't even begin to cover it. 'Political earthquake' is quite apropos. Everything we've seen in recent weeks has been explosive and a bombshell and historically chaotic.
On Sunday, Joe Biden announced he would not run for president. Wild, indeed. The news, analysis and commentary came fast and furious on Sunday, as soon as Biden made his announcement at 1:46 p.m. Eastern time.
So, on this chaotic day on top of the wild few weeks and what surely sets off an unprecedented next four months, we look back at how the media covered Sunday's news and we remember this comment from Fox News' Dana Perino: 'The politics in the next four weeks is going to be absolutely insane.' Four weeks? Try four months. Maybe even four years.
