but they’re too concerned about the optics because of the way the media would spin it
This gets to the heart of the issue. The media controls the masses, and there is no other power that can stand up to their will. Every dictator understands the central importance of the media. This is why a free press was so important, the problem is most people (due to disinformation by the media) think a free press means any press not under the control of a named government. That's not what a free press is at all, a free press is one that is so decentralized that it is resistant to the influence of individuals in a command structure. What we have is an authoritarian press controlled by a few oligarchs. Most media and information you see online is controlled by about 10 oligarchs, and that amount of centralized power makes their loyalty and apparatus easily controlled by operatives like Mossad, CIA, Epstein(s) and so on. "The media" is no different than those in an authoritarian country, the only difference is most people don't know who their dictator is.
Even supreme court judges will be afraid to reverse a decision declared by the press, because they are afraid to reverse a decision by those who control the opinions of the masses. The opinion of the press is seen as the position of the masses because it's the relationship of a hand and a puppet. Populations are easier to control than any individual within the population, for the same reason a casino can precisely set odds while winning or losing individual bets. The only way to fight this is to prove that there are enough people that disagree with the hands that control the public, and this almost never can happen because most people's perception of reality, including those with power, is shaped by information they receive by the media
Also, make sure everyone who brings up "president elect Biden" understands that the media does not decide who is president. The only way to win is to win the narrative, and that is virtually impossible without the press and platforms on our side, but we can and must try. They still have not completely banned face to face communication, which they can't control.
