can’t believe that in 60 days Biden hasn’t solved a three decade-old border challenge, while also battling a pandemic, an insurrection, an impeachment trial and passing the largest social spending bill in US history
the story’s entire framing, including claim that immigration could cost Dems the House in 2022, reads like an RNC press release
this article is so embarrassing for WP

my latest—I catalog everting wrong w/ they awful WP piece; pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
“Laying all of the blame for the three-decade problem directly at the feet of the new, two-month-old Democratic administration, the Post article echoed every conceivable GOP talking point.”
“The Post also included no context for how Biden's new administration has been addressing border crossings while at the same dealing with the aftermath of a deadly insurrection, an impeachment trial, and passing the largest social spending bill in U.S. history.”

my latest—32k dead in Florida; pressrun.media/p/whys-the-med…
“”How Ron DeSantis Won The Pandemic,” was the Politico headline Thursday night, for a big write-up that reads like it was written by the governor’s press office.”
CNN and NYT have also been busy writing DeSantis valentines abt Fla “boom” for a state is drowning in $3B pandemic budget deficit and whose Covid metrics rank in the middle of the 50 states

My latest—tell it like it is; pressrun.media/p/no-more-word…
“There’s a deliberate media movement underway to not use the clear, accurate language to describe Republican efforts to suppress the vote, just like there was a deliberate media movement to not accurately describe Trump as a "liar" for four years.”
“What's driving the media hesitation? Maybe it's because "voter suppression" sounds un-American. It sounds undemocratic, and it sounds like advocates don't support free and fair elections in this country.”

I’m honestly still kinda stunned NYT, along w/ WP, ABC News, tried to do this after 500,000 died on Trump’s watch; pressrun.media/p/good-grief-n…
“Under Trump, the U.S. vaccine rollout was seen as a national embarrassment. Under Biden, it’s become a model for the world, administering nearly 100 million shots.”
“And now the Covid relief bill, which Trump and Republicans failed to pass for ten months, will pump billions into helping communities nationwide vaccinate.”

my latest—more Both Sides madness; pressrun.media/p/good-grief-n…
“Under Trump, the U.S. vaccine rollout was seen as a national embarrassment. Under Biden, it’s become a model for the world, administering nearly 100 million shots.”

this isn’t rocket science, folks
“Denying states money. Boasting about a medicine stockpile that didn’t exist. That’s the ugly Trump record on his dismal attempt to help vaccine Americans. No amount of media whitewashing will change that.”

good grief the media preening on this topic is becoming insufferable
I can’t stop laughing at this ABC report:

<The tough exchanges in such a setting can reveal much more to Americans about a president's thinking and test his explanations,>

did they sleepwalk thru 4 yrs of Trump pressers when press was in lapdog mode???
