The coverage of Biden's pardon was a picture of what is so very wrong with U.S. media.
Of course as always, they tried very hard to cover both sides. They covered the Republicans horror of a president pardoning his son & then they covered the fact that some Democrats didn't like it either. I saw this story covered this way on a network and on the radio tonight
Yep, they sure nailed both sides. Way to go main stream media.

(2,409 posts)So of course they will try to down the Dem politician. They are sociopaths who live and breath money. They have no soul.
Have they ever had integrity by the way? I'm asking the elder posters on here, did they have integrity way back then?
Where was the outrage when the conman pardoned some of the nastiest human beings his last term?
They are absolutely the main ones to blame for us losing the White House. I don't watch lame stream news media.

(2,409 posts)I have tremendous respect for him.
He took that maniac's busted economy, and cleaned it up.
The next Dem has a lot of work to do and no doubt will encounter a hostile media.

(283 posts)pivot to Trump's cabinet and policies. Make it all Trump, all the time. Constantly hold MAGA to its ridiculous campaign promises, or just make up new ones and claim Trump made them. Who is going to bother to find out. America wanted MAGA, let's give them MAGA.

They know dropping their sane washing of trump will only prove they were off the course for quite some time, so they go after President Biden who has every right as a president ( and even if he doesn't, he's immune by the S.C. ) to do as he pleases.
If I were President Biden, I'd be dropping E.Os like smart bombs all over the place, making a mess for trump's team to claw through but that's me.
I haven't watched the news or bothered to see what some of the "loud mouths" on the right have to say so fuck em

BumRushDaShow
(146,915 posts)full of massive cognitive dissonance as they continue their heretical reporting against those who have attempted to uphold the law while coddling, sane-washing, and normalizing literal convicted criminals who are about to take office.
Any reporter willing to talk about a Hunter Biden (someone not working in the administration) pardon = bad in the same story as a Charles Kushner (someone nominated TO work in the upcoming administration) pardon = good, is a complete fucking idiot.

(2,225 posts)over an extremely poorly reasoned anti-Biden diatribe. I've seen their bias before but this was over-the-top stupid. I suppose that some perfectly intelligent people go to the LSE, UCL, King's College, etc. but the quality of some of their graduates reflects poorly on them.

I LOVE it. We remember >> "Trump is coming to Florida !!!!!!" "Joe Biden is 81..Yes 81 ..and fell off of his bicycle !!"
F*ck that shit. We're much happier. They can run their lies and bullshit up their asses. (Some of our friends are doing close what we do)
The Unmitigated Gall
(4,708 posts)Of the real and substantial crimes of Charles Kushner. To say nothing of how they snored through pardons of criminals Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.
But now they're awake and crying like babies with poopy diapers.
Fuck them.

(8,856 posts)Sure, some media is horrible, some is ok and some is good. Why would you call them all out for the actions of some? Isn't getting rid of the media like on page one of the Authoritarian handbook?
