They didnt ride Trump like this and he is the reason we are in all of this mess! Biden is doing as good as he can! Its not easy being president! Remember Trump saying this over and over?

(51,308 posts)His polls were abysmal, and now, sadly, Joe's polls seem to be the same. Tfg had bad polls, and he lost. I don't want that for us.
I wish I knew who could fix this. But we are in for big trouble if things don't turn around soon.
we can do it

(51,308 posts)remember? They were reported here too, and we were all happy to see them.
If you have chosen to forget that, good on ya. But I actually took heart from his crappy poll numbers. As did many here. We can't have it both ways.

(12,449 posts)The MSM (minus Fox) grilled him nightly and it was hilarious.
we can do it
(12,189 posts)Yeah I remember.

(12,449 posts)Every one of them except for Fox grilled him nightly, lol...

(12,189 posts)They gave the jackass credit for the sun coming up. Posting a poll is not reporting.

(30,540 posts)he deserved it so what's the point in denying that they went after him. 🤔
we can do it
(12,189 posts)Note: many people here did complain about reporting on CNN etc. they never reported drump WH in disarray
We watched TRMS every day so she could breakdown what actually happened as opposed to news coddling of toddler.

(51,308 posts)There were regular reports about staff turnover, about his abysmal managerial style, all the books that came out from previous employees, CNN anchors literally made fun of him almost daily for his sniffing, fumbling, the stutter steps down the ramp at West Point, the ridiculous post Covid joy ride...How did you miss all that?
I hated his term, but I enjoyed how much the media dogged him. I really can't believe you don't remember this. Were you watching Fox?

Too many people start with "The media is biased" and go from there...

(1,962 posts)You know why? He's "Sleepy Joe" and "Low Energy"... He's not the walking ball of "excitement" (psst... You spelled excrement wrong, mediots) that Drumpf was. He doesn't spend all day on Twitter, posting shit that could incite people or cause controversy or give them an excuse to scream "BREAKING NEWS! PRESIDENT DRUMPF JUST TWEETED THE FOLLOWING...." He's not a one-man "reality" show.
The media, a collection of morons who think Britney Spears, Kanye West, the Kardashians, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, etc. are "TODAY'S TOP STORIES!!!", have no interest in covering real issues or having a real dialogue. They were gifted with having reality TV scum on the campaign trail and in the White House. They got to cover The Apprentice: Washington.
"Drumpf will be bad for America, but good for CBS", said that short little fucking piece of walking scum known as Les Moonves. That's the mentality of the entire media.
They're on Joe Biden's back because "the excitement is gone." They spend more time covering FORMER "president" Drumpf because, damnit, that's where the excitement (once again: excrement) is!!! Everything could be perfect, Biden could be the greatest president in history and... they're gonna keep shitting on him because how dare he cancel the greatest reality show ever?!

That said, Trump promoted his own perceived successes. Biden's Comms unit is not doing the same.

(10,624 posts)Sure they are. They release info on the daily about record job creation, dramatic deficit reduction, successes with Operation Fly Formula, and multiple other accomplishments.
The MSM fails to amplify these communications like they did for Trump because they are "boring".
Trump was a freak show and they gave him constant attention because of it. They allowed their lust for ratings to override any lingering journalistic ethics they may have once had.
brooklynite
(94,598 posts)In which case its their job to change their strategy. As I've said before Party leadership has told me they're unhappy with the job Comms is doing. Case in point. Trump's team repeated the same messages endlessly. Biden's team does not (a point I've raised with Party leadership).
dawg
(10,624 posts)MSM bends over backwards to appease Republicans because a majority of the wealthy elite (read: advertisers) still back that party.
Likewise, Trump made a spectacle of himself in ways that none of us would want Biden to do.
The "party leadership" of which you speak, sound to me like a nerdy high-school boy who thinks if he could just find the right things to say, he could lure the cheerleader away from her wealthy football-player boyfriend.
What do you suggest they do differently?
