They shamelessly skewed \u2014 or omitted \u2014 facts in a nonstop persecution that ended with two impeachments.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, the veil was lifted once and for all on supposed unbiased coverage \u2014 the MSM was exposed as a unified force simply targeting a politician who thinks differently from them.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s no surprise that President Biden, a Democrat, is getting a pass (even \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d which spanked Trump weekly, hasn\u2019t touched him since he took office). But the legacy media has taken the effort to support, even protect, the new president to all new heights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden plays Mario Kart with granddaughter at Camp David,\u201d wrote the inside-the-Beltway political site The Hill last week<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaomi Biden posted on Snapchat this weekend that she and her grandfather played an arcade-style game round of Mario Kart at Camp David over the weekend \u2014 and that he won,\u201d wrote the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecret Service made an exception and let him drive himself!\u201d Miss Biden wrote, adding, \u201cA little rusty but he still won (barely).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even at 78, he\u2019s just so cool!<\/p>\n<p>Newsweek noted: \u201cThis isn\u2019t the first time Biden has entered the gaming world. During the 2020 presidential election, Biden had an \u2018Animal Crossing: New Horizon\u2019 island set up, engaging with Biden-Harris supporters from all over the country and encouraging gamers to vote. On the island, there were flowers arranged in the shape of the American flag, along with ice cream carts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The establishment media ate it up. \u201cAt Camp David retreat, Biden hangs out, shows he\u2019s got game,\u201d wrote The Washington Post, which weirdly tacked a header above the story that said \u201cNational Security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times, which blasted Trump nearly weekly for popping for for two hours to play golf on a weekend, praised Biden for taking some down time. \u201cDid Washington Just Have an Actual Weekend?\u201d said one headline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Mr. Biden assumed office, the weekends have been portraits of domesticity \u2014 Mario Kart with the kids at Camp David, bagels in Georgetown and football in Delaware,\u201d said the piece. \u201cA Peloton devotee, he hasn\u2019t even played golf. Mr. Biden\u2019s demonstrable uninterest in generating audacious headlines only emphasizes how much the Trump-size hole in Washington has created a sense of free time in all realms of the capital. Psychically, if not literally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN jumped in with, \u201cInside the new President\u2019s routine: Oval Office fires and early bedtimes.\u201d The story gushed that Biden has \u201ccoffee in the mornings with the first lady.\u201d (Remember how the media reveled in showing former First Lady Melania Trump pulling her hand from the president\u2019s \u2014 never noting that she did so as she prepared to walk down stairs?)<\/p>\n<p>The breathless piece also noted that Biden \u201chas expressed a preference for a fire built in the Oval Office fireplace, and sometimes adds a log himself to keep it going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the softball coverage has extended beyond silliness. In an Orwellian twist, the Post on Monday morphed \u201ckids in cages\u201d into \u201cmigrant facility for children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Trump\u2019s term, the MSM repeatedly cited \u201ckids in cages,\u201d claiming foreigners entering the U.S. illegally had their children ruthlessly snatched from them and shoved into cages (it was actually then-President Obama who started the practice).<\/p>\n<p>But all that\u2019s changed now. \u201cFirst migrant facility for children opens under Biden,\u201d said Monday\u2019s Post headline. But in another twist, the facility was actually opened by the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill also went weak in the knees over the Vice President Kamala D. Harris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKamala Harris jogs stairs at Lincoln Memorial in viral clip,\u201d one headline said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVice President Kamala Harris is the star of a viral video after being spotted jogging the stairs at the Lincoln Memorial as a Secret Service agent was seen trying to catch up with her,\u201d the piece said. \u201cIn the short clip, Harris jogs down and then up the steps at the national memorial. And during her jog, a man in a suit identified by local media as a Secret Service agent could be seen apparently trying to keep up with the vice president, who was noticeably moving faster than him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the 56-year-old woman was even faster than a highly trained and conditioned agent who has risen to the top of the service to serve in the presidential protection division.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t bother looking for a fact check. Those don\u2019t exist any more \u2014 not while Joe Biden is president.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl covered the White House for a dozen years and ran the Drudge Report for four years.
