I watched that nasty Weiju Jiang reporting how wonderful Biden is. She’s the one who loudly complained when Trump moved the pressers outside as he boarded the copter. She was quoted as saying she couldn’t ask combative questions and force the President to answer for his crimes.

In a few months she might have an opportunity to ask Biden a question, maybe. We’ll see how stern she is.

Uh...not their faces.

BTW-Under the “O’Bozo” administration, the MSM had 8 years practice kissing body parts so they’re all set.

Without a doubt, we’re in for gushing like we’ve never heard before. It’ll be bad enough with Joe Biden, but I expect the worship of Kamala Harris to be at least twice as bad as what we endured with Michelle Obama.

Maybe once the MSM gets bored without Conservatives to smear ... and just as soon as those bonehead, lazy people in the media GET what a small audience they have ... they may revisit actual “Journalism”, and possibly they’ll start researching stuff they are mouthing on air.

Well see.

That the media will have a permanent lip-lock on Biden’s (later Harris’s) derriere is a no-brainer; the only real question is which of the media sycophants will win the competition as the biggest ass-kisser of the bunch. That would provide the basis of a good office pool.

It’s all a game to them.

It’s like when your team wins the big rivalry game.

They don’t care what the other team or their fans think........................

It would be illuminating to see linguistic analysis contrasting Biden/Obama coverage and Trump/Bush coverage
The coursework I took in college MANY years ago would have a field day on this.

Last night, Laura Ingraham played a clip of a lefty journalist describing two beams of inauguration lights shining up into the sky as “like Joe Biden’s arms embracing the country.” If it had been Trump’s inauguration, they would have likened it to the lights at a Hitler rally. The media’s sycophancy has been even worse than I expected.

"Harris' bizarrely inappropriate laughter"

It's perhaps her most distinctive trait. Both Biden and Harris are fabulists who concoct weird and self-glorifying stories about their past. In other words, our country is led by two people of questionable mental stability, even apart from Biden's cognitive decline.

The MSM are lap dogs and will lick their masters’ faces on command.

They will lick other parts of the masters' anatomy happily and without even being told.

It’s already starting and it is gross and disgusting.

"And now we'll return to the gaslighting of the Obama era, when members of the Obama team could openly admit to lying to the media, only to receive obsequious praise in return. Already, media outlets are praising the newfound veracity of Biden's press team -- despite the fact that Jen Psaki, Biden's choice for White House press secretary, was accused of openly and explicitly lying to the media in 2016."

I understand now that Ben Rhodes wasn't complaining but simply remarking upon that stupid people -- 99% of journolists -- should be controlled and gaslighted simply because they are stupid.

“Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.” - Ben Rhodes

This awareness is what Shapiro misses completely. Tim Alberta wrote a stunningly confessional piece just after the election where he bragged about going back to the old lame MSM #Narrative, like Cypher bragging to Agent Smith about selling out Neo so Cypher could be let back into the Matrix.

The true takeaway is that journolists are so stupid that they can only pass forward the gaslighting that Bobo, and Xiden, and Madame Defarge, and Shuck Fumer can only provide.

But what they all fear, is that President Trump did one thing, and he did it well: Trump salted the ashes of legacy media. 75 million + red-pilled red-blooded Americans with a watchful eye on everything the MSM does. We're listening, we're watching, in Rhodes' words, the "Know-Nothings" in the MSM. This isn't over, it's just beginning.

I noticed that myself. Yesterday, I saw a few articles which, while not specifically mentioning he’s demented, had a quick sentence or two.

Greasing the wheels for Harris?

ABCCBSCNNFOXNBCNPR have to suck up to politicians because they have no other news stories. No one will give them interviews. Have you noticed the only news stories they have are related to politics? All other news is direct from the companies to the users via press releases on their own websites or social media feeds. Even sports have their own channels.
