Tim Graham: Biden and the media watchdogs – the scrutiny fizzles and the hounds nap
Fox News
Like every Democratic president of the TV age, Joe Biden has been and will be celebrated, promoted ... and coddled.
The tone would be even more positive except for one nagging problem: the crisis with surging illegal immigration at the southern border, which Team Biden denies is a crisis. The team dismisses it as a "right-wing talking point." But it drew the most negative coverage, 82% negative. The TV "news" crews were much more positive about massive government spending for "COVID-19 relief" and "infrastructure." Four years ago, evening news evaluations of then-President Trump were 89% negative, a jarring contrast. Leftists on Twitter were hostile to the idea of comparing these presidents in any way. Hollywood producer Steven DeKnight tweeted, "You can't compare a pile of s--- and bowl of petunias and say they both smell wonderful." John Aravosis of AMERICAblog tweeted, "Now compare coverage of Stalin and Mother Theresa."More Related News
