Fallacies
(80%)
The article contains several informal fallacies and a potential appeal to authority. The main fallacy is the use of anecdotal evidence from unnamed Black operatives and Democratic officials to make broad generalizations about Black voters not being aware of Biden's accomplishments. This is an example of hasty generalization, as it assumes that all or most Black voters are not aware based on the experiences and opinions of a few. Another fallacy is the use of fear-mongering language, such as 'time is running out' and 'they have a shorter runway than they think,' which appeals to emotions rather than logic. The article also contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric, such as referring to Trump's campaign as 'targeted entreaties.' However, no formal logical fallacies were identified in the text.

The author, Brian Flood, is making selective reports by only reporting details that support the Biden campaign's position and criticizing MSNBC and CNN for not covering a Biden rally. He is also using emotional manipulation by implying that the media organizations have a duty to cover certain topics and are neglecting their responsibility.
The President just spoke to approx 1,000 mostly Black voters in Philly about the massive stakes in this election. @MSNBC @CNN & others did not show it. Instead, more coverage about a trial that impacts one person: Trump.
The next president, they’re going to be able to appoint a couple justices, and I’ll be damned if in fact we’re able to change some of the justices when they retire and put in really progressive judges like we’ve always had, tell me that won’t change your life.

So yeah – when it’s not being covered, folks are going to hear from us.
