I'm not sure whether this will be a "Dems in disarray" book that says Biden ran a bad campaign. Trump in 2016 was more lucky in some ways than Biden after all, Biden's favorability ratings show unlike Trump either time he was actually well-liked. If it's a nuanced take about the election with helpful new information, then maybe it's worth reading.

"Biden barely won?", Is this the so called liberal media in action?

No- it’s what happens when you underperform the polls by 2-4% in a favorable environment for your party, and your opponent makes significant gains with your party’s base.

To be fair, polling error doesn't mean anything about how the candidate performed (unless it's a late swing that the polls didn't capture). Biden was never up by 8%, the polls were giving a distorted picture, so that result might never have been achievable. Given the trends in the polls, it's likely that after RBG's death and before the first debate, Biden was actually losing the presidency.
