Is that a good thing?

I was listening to the podcast “Citations Needed” (@Hamb) and it was discussing some of the issues with media coverage of Obama’s term, such as fawning praise that disguised some of Obama’s more problematic actions like the continuation of the drone wars in the Middle East and harsh immigration policies (that were then continued and made more harsh by Trump). I know I get called a racist POS every time I bring this up, but there is some concern that a person like Kamala Harris may be celebrated for being a trailblazing woman of color but her political positions and actions may be ignored (by the media). It’s already happening with some of Biden’s appointees who are not as progressive as many hoped (and many are Obama holdovers), but all the media can talk about is their race and gender.

Is it a good thing Biden may be appointing some of the same people from the Obama White House? What kind of media coverage do you think the Biden presidency will get?

I’m aiming this question more at our more progressive users here.
