The political media is gleefully cynical in its approach to reporting. They take pleasure in knocking venerated politicians like Biden down a notch so everyone is at their level, forced to get in the mud with them.

Rumors, innuendo, anonymous sources from inner circles...it's all a reality TV competition to them. The actual work of making the government work for the people is not their concern.
