Why is the Press Rooting Against Biden?

Are you doing a bit or do you not know the main combatants in WWII? The USSR was our tentative allies inasmuch as they were also trying to defeat the Axis powers.

Y’all are wasting your time. It’s because they get more clicks. It’s not the evil republican/democrat. It’s us.

USSR was our "ally" only in the sense of shared enemy. General Patton wanted to keep the tanks rolling all the way to Moscow. Turns out he wasn't wrong.

The mainstream media is basically an extension of the Democratic Party. The amount of word salad that comes out of Biden and Harris’s mouths is overwhelming, literally every time one of them makes an unscripted comment the administration needs to come up with corrections, which are parroted by the MSM immediately without question.

The country is falling apart due to this relationship and until the media can return to some kind of truth in reporting, things will continue to fall.

All of this. Nailed it.

Oh please. Biden will routinely deliver a lengthy address or dialog but the only thing crooked right wing media will report of it is the couple of seconds where his childhood stutter kicked in and voila, "word salad."
You don't ACTUALLY know anything other than the pre-filtered FOX garbage you've been fed.

- take a deep dive into the laptop story to discern the involvement and knowledge of Joe Biden instead of writing it off.
- fact check him regularly on the lies he tells daily.... as well as the lies that emanate from the press secretary's podium.
- follow up on stories that have been disastrous to Biden such as the Americans and allies abandoned in Afghanistan.
- cover the continuing border crisis and its effects on US citizens. The *only* reason it is in the news now is because of the steps Abbott has taken and the removal of Title 42.

There is more.
The majority of the media is an extension of the DNC. That has become transparent in the past 5-6 years.

Exactly.

Word salad. That was your guy Trump, 100%. Endless 4 year barrage of mindless incoherent gibberish like "the wildfires are because they don't rake the forests, so the trees explode" punctuated by him interrupting himself three times and making a sound effect like a 10 year old.

Truly, you people are a joke.

Oh puh-leeze. Daily lies? Sorry hun but someone telling a truth that you don't like is not a "lie."
Americans abandoned in Afghanistan? They were given repeated instructions and offers of help for MONTHS prior including free airlift. Allies? I think "liberal media" spend MORE time on who was abandoned in Afghanistan than conservative media spent on our Kurd allies abandoned and left behind in Syria by Trump after bravely fighting by our side.

^ It's both funny and sad to see how my elderly right wing relatives and former neighbors complain on facebook about how their right wing pundit dumb-take or conspiracy theory got "fact checked" - they have absolutely no clue and think anything that contradicts them is a "lie."

The “mainstream” media edited Trump into semi-coherence and would attribute clarity to his most psychotic rantings. The media is absolutely going hard against Biden and it’s disgusting.

I do not see the media as against biden at all; he is just a really old dude and a below average president at best.
He has no new ideas, inflation is terrible, And our southern border is chaos. There is nothing positive so far in his term so not much to report on.

The empty shelves, more Covid deaths than Trump, crime wave, world war 3 situation isn’t helping either.

What empty shelves?

PP is confused; they think it’s spring 2020.

Anyone tried to buy a car recently?

Car price problems are because the rental companies haven't been refreshing their fleets as frequently as they did before the pandemic. But of course somehow that's Biden's fault too.

Actually it’s because of a chip shortage.

Regardless, the press is going hard on Biden who is actually just trying to fix the mess the GOP left. The corporate media is GOP-owned and GOP-friendly. Unlike the far right reaches of the GOP propaganda wing, it’s reality based, but it manages to not name reality. Framing is always GOP friendly and the way that the GOP likes it. Talking heads and guests are way more likely to be right wingers, even when they’re billed as neutral experts.

And this is the way Republicans like it.

Presented with fact. Response: “regardless” and a bunch of leftist spewing

I’m sure it’s comforting to imagine that it’s just clicks, but it’s not. The “mainstream” media absolutely has a pro-GOP bias. Upthread I suggested that some of you take a gander at the RW vs LW News thread, but as none of you are interested in concrete examples, I picked out a few pretty clear cases of bias by allegedly liberal outlets clearly favoring the GOP in the way they choose to frame an issue.

Don’t do their pro-GOP work for them in pretending it’s just “clicks.”

I know. You found my facts difficult to take.

It just shows the thin skin of democrats. Any criticism, no matter how fair, is evidence of bias. Meanwhile Trump was trashed. And so was his family. The most obvious example was the medias treatment of melania. She is beautiful. She speaks 5 languages. She was a model— again beautiful. Never got a vogue cover and I am not sure she ever got any covers. But Michelle! Does anyone remember the fawning over her ARMS. Hilarious. I mean she is not awful but she isn’t classically beautiful and fawning over her ARMS makes it so clear that the media was trying. And DOCTOR Jill Biden. I mean give me a break. She is pretty and classy looking (Joe got very lucky) but the whole bit about her being a doctor is hilarious. Some media geniuses really thought she was a medical doctor. Gush gush. But not for melania.

It has never been proven that Melania speaks 5 languages. She doesn’t even speak English well. LOL.

Maybe if the media had ever taken the time to interview her they might learn about her. She grew up in a very different communist country that is a place most people don’t know much about. But no. Media just hated the trumps so much that they pretended she didn’t exist. So embarrassing.
