1. Believe it was more repug reaction to Biden's speech

that pushed the media in that direction.

8. Well, there were people here on DU

Claiming Biden was wrong and undiplomatic for stating the truth.

So, it seems like more than just GOPers had a hair on fire moment about it.

Stupid, if you ask me, to get so upset about such a benign statement. It's not like he confessed to obstruction of justice, being pals with Epstein or wanting to have sex with his own daughter. He didn't make up some offensive nick name for a dictator with nuclear weapons or excuse Russian medling in our elections. He didn't make fun of a person with disabilities or call out a man who is blind.

Go figure.

11. You're correct, there were some here doing it also

[stopdiggin]

14. I'm one of them. And the above meme

equating everybody that sat straight up in their chair with a, "Whaa" last Sat. (which includes a good portion of world leaders and our allies) as "kissing Putin's ass" and having a hissy - probably explains a little bit.

So, yes - it's obvious that we're all just a bunch of ass kissers (and probably really on Putin's side). 'AmIright?

15. 'AmIright? No, there's no Putler ass kissers in the Democratic Party

Repug party is a different story, OP was about MSM's reaction.

16. responded to two consecutive posts about DU content

"there were some here doing it also."

Biden (whom I've praised extensively for his handling of the crisis) says he "spoke from the heart" - which we can all credit - but he also spoke 'off the cuff' - and caught a lot of people (including his own) with their pants down.

Is the media having a 'hissy fit?' Maybe. But they didn't exactly manufacture the brouhaha. It was served up, on a platter.

2. Yes because republicans and American media are putrid puppets. They hate Americans and democracy.

[SheltieLover]

3. No kidding!

[Hekate]

4. Ohhhh yes

[Paladin]

5. Bullseye. (nt)

[Wild blueberry]

6. Bingo

Thank you.

[calimary]

7. No freakin' kidding!

[AntiFascist]

9. There's also the incessant nuclear fear mongering...

"you should be afraid, be very afraid because a mad man has all those nukes"

We should probably be more afraid of Kim Jong Un starting WW3.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. Exactly!

[BlueJac]

12. No shit!

[Cha]

13. TY!
