Looking for first criticism of Biden ... who will report it?

CNN?
NYT?
WaPo?


Or will it be nothing but unicorns farting rainbows?

After a very divisive 4 years, I am looking forward to some good news for once about the current administration. Positive news will help renew pride in our country and foster support of our new President and Vice President. You can be sure the right wing fake news will make every effort to undermine this administration.

Why would we support a man who stands for everything we are against??? Every move will be scrutinized and the media will be called out for covering up for him. Biden has already declared war on conservatives and our values. He has decided to put Americans last based on his first acts.

You post this after all the hatred, the vitriol, the lies and character assassination of the President and his followers by the left and the DNC propaganda organs formerly known as the mainstream media?

Your side has created divisions in this country that will take years to scar over, if they ever do.
One thing I've noticed about the left, they create a toxic atmosphere to get what they want, and when they get it, everyone is supposed to forget what they did to get it.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

No, China Joe and cameltoe will not get a free ride from all those citizens that have been vilified for the last 4 years.

It wasn't long ago that I would switch back and forth between the right wing fake news and the left wing fake news, just to get a balance of information.

But the left wing fake news has gone so far off the deep end, that they have become nothing more than left wing propaganda networks. They have made themselves completely unwatchable to anyone who doesn't agree with left wing politics.

So as of late, I have been sticking to just watching the right wing networks. If it is all going to be propaganda, I may as well watch the propaganda that I am politically aligned with.

I mean, listen to yourselves.
The media is going to spin whatever JoeKam does into 'the best thing ever.' They started the divisiviness with a four year hissie fit. Turnabout is fair play. If JoeKam falls short, as I'm sure they are, the 'media' have every right to go after him, just like they did with Trump.

I checked in with Fox News at various points throughout prime time.

No shortage of contradicting their pre inaugural commentary that civil unrest and media focus on Covid would suddenly cease, fear mongering, criticism of EOs and a heavy dose of pettiness, including Michele Obama’s outfit and Garth Brooks.

Fred Luntz, pollster, appeared visibly shaken by the deep divisions expressed in his most recent group sessions.

He has had a consistent pulse of the dynamics of the 2020 campaign, all along. Had Trump 2020 cared to listen and adjust, Trump probably would have been re-elected.

I don't think it will be reported.

So it's a waiting game. I think every news report will be great job! fantastic president! USA is perfect under new leadership!

When literally nothing has changed but the butt in the seat.

There is no difference in anyone's lives today versus last Thursday. None. At all. It's all perception.

And the perception of the media most likely will be unicorns all the time.

Yeah I'm curious to see how the media goes about things. My guess is Biden will be seen as a God. Everything he does will be perfect and any unpopular decision he makes will be due to him being forced to make the decision "Because of what Trump left him". I strongly feel like the media is going to be pro-Democrat and anti-Republican even more during his first term to try and strengthen an agenda.

I wonder how stupid late night shows are going to handle this. Seth Meyers dedicates his whole show basically to bashing Trump. Now what is he going to do? I'm guessing still talk about Trump somehow.

My one friend, who voted for Biden, texted me last night saying how the media was already making lies about Biden in his first few hours of Presidency and how "ridiculous" it was (I'm guessing Fox News? I don't know. He hates them). Oh, I'm sorry, I should have sympathy for you? Wasn't Trump blamed for a hurricane not too long ago? Aren't all Republicans racist? Well, that's what I've been told basically. So, yeah, shut up.
