something negative and inflates it into a full blown crisis.
The opposite is also true. When a president is doing the job extremely poorly and displays a massive level of incompetency, then the media strains to find something, anything positive about the president.
Joe Biden is single handedly pulling this nation back from the abyss of despair. Feeding and healing Americans, and yet that's not the biggest story in the country. It's one of the greatest stories in the history of humanity.

(22,112 posts)went nowhere, being that it wasn't an issue. Like all of the other issue(s)? that these idiots and/or republicans keep trying to heap on President Biden (such as the southern border issue, a joke being Biden has just got into office, and here it is, only the tail end of March). The ones screaming and moaning about Biden and such were around w/ djt for the longest time, why didn't anything get done then, w/ regards to immigration? I suspect that they don't want to do anything for the republicans want a hot button issue and aren't interested in really fixing the issue.

They joke about dementia...
Now bitching about getting the stimulus, even though a couple of weeks ago they were whining about it not getting it yet.
And they rather listen to some looney toon doctor out of Texas tell them that getting the vaccine will not protect them.
Its all about money, racism and just pure ignorance.

(8,810 posts)From the U.S. Mainstream Media which is 80%+ owned by RepubliCons.................
It's more than obvious, from the past four years, that the RepubliCONs don't want to bother to honestly report important news, but instead make up fictional, ludicrous BS to write about most of the time.
In addition, since January 20th all major media viewership has had a dramatic drop off, which means less money for the News Media.
They are really really upset and all of them are trying to stir things up to get more viewers back again and therefore increased revenues and most importantly profits.

(7,402 posts)Nearly every word could be described as nit-picking. For instance, Joe Biden has gone back to Delaware 5 times in exactly 2 months. That seems to be their best shot.

it is just the usual DEMOCRATS ARE HELD TO A MUCH HIGHER STANDARD

(11,730 posts)Why are Democrats held to a much higher standard. I will preface this to make sure that you know I am not accusing you of anything, but my statement and question is this: We should not accept the narrative that we Democrats, are just held to a higher standard. Why are we held to a different standard?
Is it because conservatives own most media?
I am honestly curious as to why it appears that conservatives are allowed so much time on media and their views given so much weight.

(153,147 posts)women are held to much higher standards - why?
I think it is just plain sexism and racism - women and POC are more likely to vote for Dems so they are held to a much higher standard/
Caliman73
(11,730 posts)Sexism and racism are about power. Who has it, who doesn't and how do you keep it?
I think that Democrats tend to be held to a higher standard because they advocate for the use of government to provide a platform for greater equality and equity in power in society. That threatens the wealthy and powerful, so they get more scrutiny. Same reason why people further to the left, who want to overturn capitalism, are labeled "violent", "terrorists", and other things. You have to make people seem "out of the norm" to dismiss them.

(153,147 posts)you are right on point
the more these greedy old pigs sense a loss of their power, the more hysterical they get. It always cracks me up when I hear conservative white men whining about "affirmative action" - it's just them whining about having to share the pie. They liked it better when they were automatically awarded more than their fair share.

(11,730 posts)I have heard it said that when you have been free to act with impunity for so long, just making things more equitable suddenly feels like oppression.
What do you mean I can't call Black people the n word?
What do you mean "no means no"?

(13,036 posts)And seem to totally discount all his accomplishments 66 days into his new administration. They play up GQP sh!t to make it sound like his administration is having issue responding to situations, when infact they are bending over backwards considering the mess they've been left with.
Jen Psaki oughtta just give it straight to the idiot reporters who ask stupid questions attempting to corner and criticize Biden admin: keep up the double standards & we'll stop giving daily briefibga, and Biden will no longer give pressers.
