1. The President's health, either mental or physical.
2. The deficit
3. Inflation
Weird, isn't it? Yeah, I know it's hard to limit it to just three. But those are the three that the media ran with 24/7 to bash Biden in the run up to the election. They talked about nothing else. Now? Not so much.

(25,530 posts)but yeah, I get your point. The sky was literally falling when egg prices rose.
We won't nearly as much about medical premiums rising I suspect.

(8,132 posts)Dime-Store Mussolini goes every week to play golf, but let's bitch about President Biden's occasion weekend at home in Delaware and the the Obama's one summer trip to Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard.
And when a Democrat is president it's "What will you do to reach across the isle to Republicans?" and when a Republicans president wins a slim victory it's "Well he has a mandate."

(25,530 posts)We heard ad nauseum about trump's supposed mandate in the last election, but when Biden won by MUCH more? Crickets.

(25,530 posts)of the newer tougher Dem party, for them to call the media out. Why not? The examples are there for all to see. The R's have made an industry out of calling out the media, all the while receiving favorable treatment. It's infuriating.

(1,951 posts)Any hint of impropriety is a huge scandal for Democrats. Republicans are free to flout the law with impunity because that just SOP for them now. Everyone knows the whole reason they're even in office is to runs scams and get rich.

They rarely cover protests at all for over 8 years. That's when I knew they are corrupted and I don't watch any longer. Not worth my time. Adam Mocker, Meidas, etc are 1,000,000,000,000 times better and they are objective compared to MSM.

(3,523 posts)When an "R" is is in the WH, voter-on-the-streets interviews. They're never outside a Whole Foods in suburban D.C., or interviewing a single black mother in innercity Chicago, or a married gay couple in Los Angeles.
When a "D" is in the White House, there aren't enough aggrieved WHITE voters with opinions in thousands of one-streetlight towns with diners.
