The media is an utterly contemptible political operation that in a few weeks went from burying Biden’s gaffes and pretending they were ‘cheapfakes’ and mere stuttering to making them front page news.

It’s amazing how when the right political button is pushed, CNN and the AP suddenly look like FOX News from last month. The media tried to silence these stories, now it adopted them for its own political reasons.

The media is whaling away at Biden in the hopes that he’ll agree to quit. And in the process it’s making itself even more obnoxiously political and more hated. Some Democrats are waking up to what conservatives knew all along which is that there’s no more journalism, certainly not in the mainstream media, it’s a comms operation for political interests, and with hardly a single voice of dissent it turns on a dime to loudly advocate for whatever thing suits its political agenda right now.

A month ago, Biden calling Zelensky “President Putin” would have been shrugged off. Now it’s the focus of every media story about a NATO conference. And reporters keep shouting at Biden to comment on what George Clooney said about him.

I have no affection for Joe Biden, but it’s a despicable display by the same media organizations who were lying for him, who have now decided to push him out, not because they remotely care about the country, but because they want to win the election.

At least Biden is discovering what it’s like to be Trump. He started his legal career as a Republican, now at the end of his political career, he’s being treated like one.
