Great depth than anything about Biden. Remember all the lopsided free publicity Trump got in his campaigns compared to the coverage of his opposite Dem candidate?
Is this what we can expect from the free press... More free propaganda from Trump and a casual mention of President Biden?

Further, I don' think trump has helped himself appearing on TV for quite some time. I think most people are smart enough to see him for what he is, a racist, cad, incompetent POS. Now, some folks are fine with that, but I'm glad he appeared on TV throughout 2020. That's why many people voted against him.

(31,261 posts)really damaging to him. Reporters started aggressively summarizing what they witnessed, and none of that has been good for Trump.
When the President notifies networks that he is going to give a speech, they are obligated to set aside the time of the speech. They will do the same for Biden once he is sworn in.
The imbalance of coverage is understandable, until 12:00 on January 20th, Trump is the President (gag!!!! ).

Frankly, I'd rather they didn't bother Joe right now. He has shit to do.
