Biden has been in office for a week and the media is trying to hold him accountable for the mistakes

16. The media have completely forgotten Trump's grandiose boasts

Remember how there were going to be 20 million vaccines administered by the end of December? It was a bunch of hooey, but the media repeated it was if it was something real that was going to happen. Until it didn't. Oh, the Trump administration was going to use the military, and Donald knew so much about logistics (more than anyone), and by golly, the media had better be giving Trump the credit he deserved for talking such a good vaccine game!

Now, mere weeks later, all the Trump promises are just so much vapor, completely forgotten by the media. Which means they have no context for rating what the Biden administration has been doing, which is having to put together from square one a vaccination program because Trump left the cupboard less than bare and the distribution system hollowed out. And I know those are concepts the media can grasp, because those were the excuses the Trump administration used early on every time they failed to do something because they didn't know what they were doing.
