I had to take a peek at our competition today. I turned on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. It was 24/7 bashing of President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter. It was pathetic.
There was no context. No nuance. No historical perspective. No discussion of Jared Kushner, Don Jr., Ivanka, and other Trump family conflicts of interest. There was no discussion of Trump’s pardons of the worst people, including his own criminal co-conspirators.
There was no mention that the felony charges brought against Hunter by a Republican special counsel involved buying a firearm while high on drugs in 2018 (something no one else has been charged with) and paying taxes late (normally resolved as a civil penalty at most).
There was no discussion that Trump-appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon threw out charges against Trump by claiming that “special counsels” aren’t allowed to exist under the Constitution—yet Hunter was prosecuted by a Republican special counsel, and that was apparently fine.
If you watch corporate media—and you shouldn’t—their one message today is that Biden has now given Trump permission to commit any crime he wants. Seriously?
Corporate media brought on the same talking heads who always normalize Trump’s behavior and blame everything on President Biden. It’s the same people who, from day one of Biden’s presidency, refused to discuss his accomplishments and did everything they could to parrot MAGA talking points and accept MAGA framing of issues.
I hope I’ve saved you a lot of wasted time watching these broken and intentionally malicious corporate media peddlers. I’m not out here trying to be a cheerleader for President Biden, but come on—at least I’m talking common sense.
Trump turned his White House into an actual crime enterprise, and he’s doing it again, but worse. This is NOT Biden’s fault.
President Biden whooped Trump’s ass by 7 million votes and then enacted the most progressive, pro-worker, pro-health agenda in American history while strengthening our alliances abroad.
President Biden is a decent family man of high moral character, a statesman of the highest order. And yet, the media vilifies him and uses ageist tropes to do so, while an actual sexual assaulter, felon, and someone who appears to have dementia symptoms is heading back to the White House—and the corporate media loves it.
Shut off corporate media and shut down the people who prop it up!
