Media Bias

The media is angry they have fooled about Biden's decline. BS, most of them were in on in on the cover up.

"The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover-up of the degree of the President’s feebleness and his serious physical decline, which may be simply the result of old age," Jill Abramson wrote in an op-ed in Semafor.

She added, "Shame on the White House press corps for not to have pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President."

Abrams, who was executive editor of the New York Times from 2011 to 2014, said it is "laughable and immoral for Democrats to blame the press now for over-reacting to that reality."

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives refused to accept Snopes as evidence, accusing them of left bias.

Anyway, a little context paints the better picture of Trump. In the immediate wake of Charlottesville, Trump did read a statement totally condemning the white supremacist action, although some wondered why he waited 48 hours before doing so.

Good for you, Don. Then Don stews on it for a couple days, and learns that some of his MAGA brethren didn't appreciate the condemnation, accusing him of simply reading the liberal spin control his handlers forced upon him. Which -- and this is total speculation -- is the kind of thing that eats on Trump. 

So at the next press opportunity announcing a bipartisan and noncontroversial infrastructure bill, Don keeps getting Charlottesville questions. That's where he made the "very fine people on both sides" statement. We know this because we have news cameras that record this sort of thing. 

It's also a matter of record that Trump has invited among the worst of these white supremacists to be his guest at Mar-a-Lago, welcomed their endorsement, gave them a shout-out with a veiled threat during the 2020 Presidential debate, and plans to pardon some of the most violent among them.

Meaning those mean and  biased reporters were 100% right about the man.

That's the thing about Donald Trump and media bias. Throw those third party journalists aside and consider Trump from his thousands of personally generated tweets, unfiltered and unedited speech transcripts, and even his own autobiography and you'll find he's the exact same man the journalists are warning you about.

It's true. The system is entrenched partisanship now. 

If you're a liberal leaning journalist -- or even a pragmatic centrist -- and you look over at the rightwing media ecosystem, see all the crazy dishonesty they're getting away with, see that it's working and paving the way for some really ugly s#!t aligning against you and the people you care about, you might pit yourself in the battle rather than report dispassionately. 

An honest athlete is not going to take steroids. But I'm sure some tire of getting beaten by the roid ragers who are facing zero consequences. 

It's clear that some journalists covered for Biden -- moreso the pundits than the field reporters who see the day to day and have relationships with the inner circle. But it appears that Biden was generally up to the task for the first three years, and the decline over the past six months has ratcheted up quickly until it hit the spotlight last week to the genuine horror of anyone who doesn't want Trump reelected. 

Irony: the Democrat Brain Trust are now blaming the media for over-reacting in calling for Biden to step down. I guarantee you they are tracking social media, where even Biden lovers are begging him to step aside with honor. It's a real s#!t show because they had no contingency plan at all, and realize the most disastrous choice they could make is to hand it over to the even less popular Kamala Harris. The Dem fundraising machine this past week has been craven, hilarious and depressing.

But take that big steaming s#!tpile of Democrat hubris, cowardice, and mismanagement, and it remains preferable to the march of insanity taking place in the Republican Party. At this point, all we got is whataboutism.

So many errors here it’s not worth the time to correct for 6th or 7th time.  If someone is STILL holding onto to the Charlottesville hoax even in the face of liberal fact checkers agreeing it was a hoax, it’s a waste of time trying to set them straight.
