After months of hiding from the Media (D), and cherrypicking the questions from “friendly” outlets, Joe must’ve figured he’d get a free pass forever. Well, SURPRISE!
There’s been a distinct difference in the media coverage of Trump and Biden, and it’s incredibly noticeable to everyone… except The Press.
Howard Kurtz spoke about it on Fox News recently:
Gee, why does the media get blamed for the current political divide?
Because being polemicists is good for business — the anti-Trump media has been given a lifesaving injection called the “Trump Bump” and the free ride might be ending soon which will mean their inevitable demise because of the new media.
Right after Biden says, “Mi casa es su casa” about media access to the White House in a Biden administration, reporters are herded away by the Biden handlers. One brave soul shouted a question because the fog seemed to have lifted and he remembered that he’s a reporter and not a partisan hack. He’s not even that tough on Joe, he’s just asking questions about relevant issues. You know, to report to the people. Shocking, I know.
Here’s Bo Erikson from CBS and Joe asks him why he’s always yelling questions.
Asked Biden if he will encourage teacher unions to cooperate to get kids back in school because the COVID task force said it is safe to be in the classroom. He didn’t answer.
“Why are you the only guy that always shouts out questions?” he said. pic.twitter.com/x2DsG5Fmgo

Gee, maybe it’s because Joe has had less media scrutiny than anyone who has run for president — ever?
Why was Joe so upset with Bo Erikson?
It could be because as social media and the rest of the Media (D) ignored the Hunter Biden laptop story, Erikson dared to ask the Democratic candidate what he thought about the New York Post’s reportage.
I asked Joe Biden: What is your response to the NYPost story about your son, sir?
He called it a “smear campaign” and then went after me. “I know you’d ask it. I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.” pic.twitter.com/Eo6VD4TqxD

How dare he acknowledge that particular scandal in the middle of an election!
Bo is the rare journo out there actually doing his job and not asking only softball questions.
Contrast to what the Media (D) is like with the Trump administration recently:

“I don’t call on activists,” is how @PressSec ended her press briefing. A reporter kept shouting, “When will you admit you lost the election?”

But that’s no change from what it has been for 4 years:

As Trump walks out of the White House briefing room — his first appearance in the room as president — without taking any questions, reporters shout out after him.

And this… is how it all started:
Yeah, that’s not ok.
Frankly, it’s not a bad thing to have a media that is a bit hostile. They’re supposed to keep politicians in check, right?
The problem is that the media under the Obama administration gave them a free pass for every corrupt dealing and governmental overreach then praised it as “scandal-free.” Then, on Day 1, the same media outlets called Trump’s Inauguration Day speech “dark” and “Hitlerian” and coverage went downhill from there. The media printed every single salacious rumor and conspiracy theory that they could find. Where Obama couldn’t do anything wrong, Trump couldn’t do anything right.
That’s not healthy for democracy.
And we’re about to get another dose of it. Good and hard.
Joe Concha has said that under a Biden administration, it’s going to be a return of the “Marshmallow Media.”
So, we’ve got that to look forward to if Trump’s lawsuits fail.
Betcha can’t wait, right?
Don’t worry. There are other options out there.
