I've Been Having A Hard Time Watching MSNBC As Of Late.... [View all]

I don't know if I'm just catching watching them at the wrong time - but it looks to me that they are going out of their way to cast blame on Biden or the handling of the evacuation of Afghanistan.

In fact - most of what I'm catching in the MSM seems to take relish on the fact that Biden's poll numbers are dropping because of his handling of this Afghan mess that Trump left him with and also the rise in Covid based on the Delta variant and the fact that Repug's are working against the administrations efforts in dealing with Covid - encouraging anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers.

I'm totally fed up with the news coverage as of late. They are just not treating Biden fairly.

What I really appreciate about Biden and his administration is that they have been very visible, vocal and informative in both cases - the Afghan evacuation and the surge in Covid.

They seem to be going out of their way to keep us informed with the facts. All these so-called talking head experts are always taking unfair shots at Biden.
