I think you're making quite a few leaps here. Let's pretend that the crowd was saying "George Floyd is a n****er" or something else that was highly inappropriate. Would it be leftist to say, "The crowd is saying 'good job driver?'" Do you think the reporter should have just ignored it? What is the appropriate response to profanity?
My position is that she was covering for the profanity and not Joe Biden because that's what they are trained to do and I've seen reporters do this for basically every sport.
No. No leftist outlet would attempt to restate the words of the crowd in that regards. First, they'd beep out the hard R, then they'd use the chant to prove that Nascar fans are racists and Trumpism is clearly rampant in Nascar.
It's not possible to cover for profanity when the profanity is occurring. One of two things happens: If it's a true live report, then the profanity comes through to the viewers. If it's a 10 second delayed report, as is more typical, then the profanity is beeped out.

Capitalism is not as old as time. Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years.
I think you are confusing markets with capitalism. There are many market based economic systems that are not capitalism. Feudalism had markets, and yet it was not capitalist. Socialism has markets, and is not capitalist.
You also can't separate economic systems from political systems because the laws of a country are built around its economic system. Things that are legal in communist countries are illegal in capitalist countries, and vice versa. What is "growing and selling the food I own" in capitalism is "stealing from the lord" in a feudal society.
Capitalism is the private ownership and trade of capital. Capital is anything that can be used to produce an end product (tools, vehicles, land, buildings, etc.) Feudalism had capitalism. The capital simply wasn't available to everyone involved. Serfs and such (people who were owned by nobles/royals) couldn't own anything. However, tradesman and such certainly owned and traded in capital. Likewise, Socialist systems by nature indulge in capitalism. However, as it's the midway point to communism, where private ownership and trade of capital is part of the system, it's highly regulated by the government, and there's always a bureaucrat involved in your ability to do with your capital as you will.
Even a nation such as China still utilizes capitalism in it's current model. There are very few societies that have ever existed that did not utilize capitalism. The primary reason why is any system where there's no private ownership of capital leaves 100% of all ownership in the hands of those who control the state, which invariably leads to either revolution, or economic collapse.
Your points are not only uneducated, poorly considered, and wrong, but grow worse given that you're attempting to justify your desire to "overthrow" capitalism in the US and turn it into a totalitarian system because it favors capitalism as an economic model. We are a trade nation. The promise of using trade to become successful and achieve the "American Dream" is the very ideal that attracts millions per year to attempt to migrate to the US.
If you really want to live in a place that doesn't have Capitalism, why not move to Venezuela, or Cuba? I'm sure they'd be interested in a medical research manager, no?
