hard to describe how dishonest CNN is here

says its new poll contains “bad news” for Biden and **never mentions it has Biden polling at 50%**
classic example of when news outlets tries to bury their own polling bc results don’t match preferred narrative
also, seriously??? after 4 yrs of pathological liar, raging narcissist and racist in the WH, CNN’s beef is that Biden is too cordial?
they miss Trump so much

my latest— desperate for conflict; pressrun.media/p/bah-humbug-m…
“At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, CBS’s Ed O’Keefe demanded to know if the White House could guarantee that holiday packages will arrive on time.

What’s next? Biden has to guarantee on-time deliveries for all pizzas coast to coast?”
“When did the U.S. stop being a capitalist country? When did the press start assuming the White House controls private industries, including the shipping and handling operations for retailers and suppliers?”

this coverage is comically awful

Mt latest—hiding the good stuff; pressrun.media/p/media-fail-a…
“The specifics from the CBS poll:  Only 10% of Americans say they know a lot about what's in the Build Back Better plan, while a majority admit to either not knowing any specifics or anything at all about the bill.”
“The irony is that CBS reported the polling results without ever acknowledging that Americans likely don’t know what’s in Build Back Better **because news outlets like CBS have done such a poor job explaining it.**”

Did we *ever* see this kind of relentless CNN handwringing when Trump was president w/ a 37% approval rating?
you’ll be shocked to learn the weekend poll from CBS showing Biden w/ a 50% approval is strategically omitted here
In fact, CNN announces Biden’s approval is “slipping fast” while ignoring CBS poll that showed him up 8 pts since Sept

DC press did *not* see this coming
quick explainer: GOP had told Dems we oppose raising debt, and vote is filibustered, so you need 10 GOP votes instead of straight Dem vote

then McConnell blinked said ok to temp debt deal, but vote still technically filibustered and he can’t find 10 GOP’s to vote yes.

“Trump directly asked the Justice Department nine times to undermine the election result”
during this period, Politico dismissed Trump’s behavior as nothing more than “bad sportsmanship”;
from @POITICO: "So far this looks a lot more like bad sportsmanship accompanied by a misinformation campaign, and not some well-thought out plot to stay in power. "
