It is easier to discover an intelligent statement from Joe Biden than it is to find a real journalist in America today. In the Trump era, American journalism has moved from trying to hide its hardcore left-wing agenda to openly advocating for the Democratic Party.

For decades, the American news media have been liberal. Studies showed consistent and overwhelming support among the news media for Democratic candidates for president. Even a landslide loser such as 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern was the runaway favorite among American journalists.

Previously, the liberal media made a minimal effort to hide their true objectives; however, today, there is no disguising their extreme hatred for President Donald Trump. Their purpose is clear, not to give fair and accurate reporting, but to advocate for the defeat of President Donald Trump and the election of former Vice President Joe Biden.

At the president’s frequent news conferences, he is subjected to insulting, mean-spirited attacks masquerading as questions. Never has the media treated a president so rudely. Today, the White House press corps are so unhinged they make the rude questioning of Sam Donaldson in the Reagan era look tame in comparison.

When Barack Obama was president, the media pushed his agenda and asked him obsequious questions such as what “enchanted” him the most about the position. These Democratic Party cheerleaders, poorly imitating reporters, might as well have thrown rose petals at his feet and asked if they could give him a foot rub.

Unbelievably, the news media has gotten even worse in the last few years. It has now jumped the shark. For example, at Biden’s “news conference” on Friday, reporters asked the former Vice President some “tough” questions such as “What does The Atlantic article tell you about Donald Trump’s soul and the life he leads?” Another blistering question was “Trump suggested voters vote twice. What do you make of that?” My personal favorite was this gem: “You said today is the angriest you have been as a presidential candidate. Some people would say why isn’t Joe Biden angrier about all this?”

Not surprisingly, the former vice president was not asked about his mental lapses, his flip flopping on issues such as fracking, his lack of success in his 47 years as a politician, his response to accusations of sexual assault by Tara Reade and others, his support of socialist policies, his weakness in dealing with China, his late response to the Covid-19 pandemic, his propensity to remain in his basement, his bribing of Ukrainian officials to fire a prosecutor or his son’s many questionable activities.

Despite no real questions and kid glove treatment, Biden managed to fumble his way through the responses, committing egregious gaffes and misstatements. If Trump had responded in a similar manner, the media would be running stories about his cognitive decline. Despite Biden’s obvious mental issues, the media treats such stories as an example of “Russian” interference in our elections.
