Call Out the Media on Their Terrible Coverage of the Biden Administration

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/03/another-achievement-for-biden.html

Signal Press, committed to telling the truth about President Biden and making sure that the achievements and accomplishments of this remarkable Presidency are put in writing and with an accurate perspective, even though the news media won't do it.

One of the best features of the Biden presidency has been the fact that we don't get all the false statements from the President. Trump was on record as having lied, and that's what I will call it because that's what it was, over 32,000 times. Those are all statements that could be verified to be completely false by a quick examination of the facts. The man just says what comes to the top of his head. The fact that people believe him means they're stupid.

Well, what else can you say? This has been a pattern all of his life, he can't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

Fact check President Biden, and you won't find anything close to that. It's rare for either he or his press secretary, to deliberately tell a lie in the face of facts. And that's just such a change from the way it was, it's like we have to get used to hearing the truth all over again.

create their own election dog races to create the usual drama that has people turning to their worthless stations. The editors of these stations are by and large conservative RWers, both local and national television media outlets...but besides keeping the weakminded agitating for a fascist state, advertising profit is king.

Judge Jackson's nomination itself stands in contrast to the agenda-driven attempts by the GOP to make the Supreme Court a partisan political entity instead of the defenders and protectors of constitutional law that it was designed to be. If people are paying attention, what they will see here is a President with real life experience as a member of the Senate, and as the Vice-President, nominating someone who is actually qualified educationally and by their experience, their knowledge of American history and of the Constitution, and whose judicial rulings demonstrate no inkling of partisan bias or political manipulation. That stands in stark contrast to all three of the previous President's nominees, who he nominated as a political favor to a group of his extremist right wing supporters.

Will American voters be able to see the contrast here? Or maybe what I should be asking is whether there will be enough American voters who can see the difference, and are tired of the political shenanigans and dishonesty from the Republican party to go into the voting booth in November and make sure the GOP stays as a minority party for the duration of President Biden's term. The Republicans shriek and flap their lips over judges they claim are "legislating from the bench," but they've got at least five judicial "legislators" on the Supreme Court now, put there by Republican Presidents doing favors for narrow political interest groups. I would like to see President Biden be able to replace at least three more of them, before the end of his first term.
