Biden demands media fall into line: White House holds secret meetings with news organizations and Washington Post columnist goes on CNN to claim that president is being treated WORSE than Trump by press
2021-12-09
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • The Washington Post on December 3 published an op ed by columnist Dana Milbank entitled: 'The media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Trump'

  • The column sparked questions about media coverage of Biden, and on Monday Milbank appeared on CNN to argue that Biden was being treated unfairly

  • On Tuesday evening it emerged that the White House had dispatched a team of three people to speak to newsrooms and encourage more favorable coverage

  • The three - NEC Deputy Directors David Kamin and Bharat Ramamurti, along with Ports Envoy John Porcari - have embarked on a PR campaign, CNN reported

  • Some on social media agreed that coverage of Biden was unfair and the news organizations were just hunting for sensationalism, but others laughed it off

Right winger supports women's rights...
For women of color... and whites!
Press outrage, and calls
For the heretic's balls.
Midnight writers go woke on white knights.

#15  You think enough of the press has awakened to the crap they put in the WH and are ashamed? Nah, the Left never has shame.

#11  The MSM is never going to be able to put lipstick on this pig. Even Dr. Joseph Goebbels would have difficulty with this task and he was the master of the big lie.

#7  On Tuesday evening it emerged that the White House had dispatched a team of three people to speak to newsrooms and encourage more favorable coverage.

Another approach would have been for the administration to start doing its job instead of treating everything as a communications issue. The Afghan debacle looked terrible because it was terrible, not because the press didn't cover it fairly.

#6  re: "Trans" men competing with women? I say F*&k em. Women make up the largest group of Dem/Left backers and voters. They should just suck it up as they've told us to do

#4  Every time Pres. Magoo's poll numbers drop even further, the anguished stories in Politico, CNN and the rest of American Pravda are 80-90% about a) his administration's "communication strategy" and b) his trillion-dollar [non]infrastructure giveaway.

These assholes are so f--king detached from reality, they can't even connect the dots between "F Joe Biden," the admin's full-spectrum shitshow, $6 bread, $20/lb steak, $5+ gas prices -- and the worst presidential approval rating since 1973.

They think allowing dudes in dresses to go into the girls' bathroom is noble and salutary, and demonized us when we complain-- ditto for praising scam-artist male athletes who decide to take some injections, daub some mascara around their eyes, and then elbow their way into women's sports where they smash records and clean up all the gold in short order.

These people are deluded. They're sickos.

They don't listen to anyone except their fellow Mad Hatters. And they hate us.

What did we do to deserve this scourge upon our beloved country?

#3  It was a blanket condemnation. CNN just happened to be under the blanket. Some administration explanation was warranted.

#2  ....If you look at the headline, you see that the Administration even screwed this up: they sent their emissary to CNN to tell us not to panic and all is well....and no one watches CNN.
