Why Is The Press Sabotaging Biden?

If Biden were the failure the press keeps insisting he is, they wouldn’t be working so hard to create that narrative.

Joe Biden’s marathon press conference last week was an embarrassment for the United States.

Did you think I was talking about Biden? No. He did fine — I’m talking about the press desperately trying to frame the narrative that Biden is a failure. They’ve been at it for the better part of a year and the frustration is clearly mounting that Biden himself won’t play ball.

Looking back at Biden’s first year, it’s easy to see why the press is so confident in their assessment.

“Failure” on top on “failure”

Biden ended America’s longest war which is exactly what the overwhelming majority of the country wanted him to do. This was definitely Biden’s “Fall of Saigon” moment because the press made sure to mention it about 5000 times. And it was exactly like the Fall of Saigon minus enemy troops overrunning the base and the American military fleeing in a panic under constant attack. Oh, and we left of our own accord.

Sure, it was messy and chaotic at first, but no American was left behind who did not choose to remain. Over 120,000 people were evacuated, making it the largest airlift in American history. The press knew Biden could have ended a losing war in a more orderly fashion but no one could seem to explain how. That the public was not still talking about Biden’s failure after a few weeks left many journalists grinding their teeth. In their eyes, it was an irredeemable debacle Biden must be punished for.

If anyone in the press has any teeth left after Afghanistan, they surely finished grinding them to dust once their predictions for a Christmas catastrophe failed to pan out. The naked anticipation of the “liberal” press for empty shelves was pretty gross to watch. It was going to be the worst Christmas ever and it was going to be all Biden’s fault. 

Then Biden used the muscle of the federal government and, poof, no empty shelves! The President ordered the two main ports in California to run 24/7 and slapped a $100/day fine on cargo containers that companies left sitting on the docks. Like magic, companies found a way to get those containers moving and product on the shelf. A Christmas miracle! And one that the press quietly discussed after weeks of loud and breathless “Doom is upon us!” headlines. Biden saved Christmas and barely received any credit at all.
