Sorry to Wolf Blitzer and his eponymous Wolf Spritzer at El Presidente restaurant in D.C., but 24-hour news channels aren’t where people get their most vital updates anymore. It’s not newspapers, it’s not radio, it’s not people gathering outside a department store to watch the wall of TVs in the widow. It’s Pop Crave. And Pop Base, Poo Crave, Pop Tingz, and of course Club Chalamet. That is, if no one in your life loves you enough to personally send you the slutty, emoji-filled chain text. When President Joe Biden announced that he would no longer be seeking a second term, the Twitter accounts of record got to posting. We’ve rounded up their Biden-dropping-out announcements as well as some deets on what they were covering immediately before. Here’s how they all framed the news that, for once and for all, it’s Joever.
