Saving Private Biden - The press standard for 2020: No tough questions for the former vice president.
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 26 October 2020 | WSJ

It turned out that biased press coverage wasn’t enough to keep Mr. Trump from winning. So for 2020 the press introduced a new corollary: Joe Biden must never be asked a tough question.

[snip]

This see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil approach to Mr. Biden started with Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who accused the candidate of having sexually harassed her in 1993, when she’d worked for him.

[snip]

Or what about the Associated Press? In September it revised its stylebook to say reporters should use the term “unrest” instead of “riots” to describe the criminal violence in cities from Portland, Ore., to Kenosha, Wis. The AP now frowns on “looting” as well, urging greater sensitivity because President Trump has used the term.

[snip]

After a particularly fawning news conference, [Mark Hemingway] relayed the assessment of a friend: Watching the press handle Joe Biden is “like watching someone make sure a 3 year old wins Candyland.”

AP changes lexicon from riots to unrest. Can't use the term looting because DJT used it. Biden is coddled like nothing we've witnessed before. The mainstream media ministry of propaganda advances in full assault mode against truth.

Watching the press handle Joe Biden is “like watching someone make sure a 3 year old wins Candyland.”

What a great line. That should go viral.

What is the meaning when
the MSM media will not protect children,
and will not protect the public,
but will protect criminals and the Emperor of the Ukraine.

Great observation. At a minimum, he exposed the depth of the swamp.

It will take at least a generation to clean up indoctrination in the schools and, hopefully, return journalistic morals to a free press.

Emerald Robinson was the White House reporter for OANN, now she’s moved over to NewsMax.

Depending on the hour of the day, OANN and NewsMax have MUCH better coverage than Fox.

James Woods’ Twitter feed is an excellent source for conservative news events. He has a remarkable network. Unfortunately, his reach is at the mercy of Twitter censors.

The ever elusive “press” ... a “press” without a name...

What’s the complication with naming the parent corporations in charge?

“Watching the press handle Joe Biden is “like watching someone make sure a 3 year old wins Candyland.”

Stahl preface to to question of Trump “Now that 209,000 people have died on your watch.....”

Reporter question to Biden next day “Joe, what flavor milkshake did you get?”

Apparently, the media cartoon view is while Joe is skipping through Candyland, Trump is singlehandedly ushering in Armageddon

Most people today are knowledgeable enough to see through the media dishonesty—if they want to. For those few who only tune in for the nightly news with David Muir, etc., they need exposure to additional sources. In fact, I know someone who was completely unaware of the riots and violence against law enforcement in our cities for the past many months. Fixed that with exposure to alternate news sources—and we gained a vote for Trump along the way.

Saving Private Biden...the final scene:

"Tell me I'm a good man...tell me I've led a good life."

"You're a motherbleepin' crook,Joe...and you know it".
