I don't think there will be any "pass down" of ideas because it is unclear to mey there are any to pass down. Factual briefings from people who actually know something will be superior anyway. I just hope we don't replace one form of ideological reality warping with another different one.
Biden was there for the Obama Administration just 4 years ago. He certainly knows most of the people that know what is going on in the USA and around the world. Most of the career officials will still be in place, so get the deal from the folks that know.

For example, why get a transition briefing from Dr. Atlas on COVID? Getting updates from Dr. Birx, Dr. Fauci and other career officials will be much better.

Alternative Facts and Fake News were not really everyday concepts pre-2017, so I am hopefully we get back to different perspectives on the facts rather than using different facts.

FWIW - I don't think Biden could effectively sell a story he knows is not real. Given his limitations as a storyteller, he probably will be locked into truth telling even if it hurts his political standing.

I don't know that statement is 100% accurate...
