Biden has been in office for a week and the media is trying to hold him accountable for the mistakes

[TeamPooka]

Trump made for the last year.
Fuck that shit.
I realize tyhe media has a big guilty complex for their failures during Trump's term but this shit will not fly.

1. The Biden team can handle their BS

[TeamPooka]

6. yeah, but can I?

7. lol

[Chainfire]

11. You had to know it was coming....

I saw them blaming Biden for Trump issues weeks before he was inaugurated. You just have to consider the source.

[tblue37]

17. Just like c but wingers blaming Obama for 9/11.

[elleng]

2. of course

[Under The Radar]

3. No worries, Joe and his top gun cabinet can handle it

Actually thought it would be much worse, but with Trump being muzzled by Twitter and Facebook it seems to be pretty smooth for the moment.
I realize the questions a baited but these professions at the podium now are just knocking them out of the park as if they know the catchers signals.

4. Fuck the GD m$media.. They are the

Enemy of the State!

I Blacklisted them in Nov 2002.. I felt so strongly about them then.. & reading DU all these years.. I know they have only gotten Exponentially WORSE!

5. I had to turn off the news cause of it ...

Where was this accountability the last for years

[NCDem47]

9. Trump and team beat the press into submission.

They just stopped trying or they knew their questions would go unanswered.

Now that the adults are back in the WH and are not afraid to take questions, the press are finding their backbone.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. IMO, they didn't have to beat them into submission

They were subservient to him all along.

[CatMor]

8. I stopped watching in 2016 when they pushed trump 24/7 ...

and I won't be going back to watching. I prefer to read the news and not care what the yammering pundits have to say.

10. Maybe some whistleblower in corporate media

will come forward and let us know what kind of "guidance" they've received from management on how to cover Trump and Republicans vs. Biden and Democrats. Have reporters and pundits ever been "incentivized" to favor Republicans or "bothsiderism" in the interest of boosting corporate profits?

13. They're playing to the mouth breather audience.

14. TЯUMP didn't make mistakes. He deliberately sabotaged everything.

[TeamPooka]

18. I stand corrected. That's the truth.

[Mike 03]

15. It didn't even take a week. It took until Friday when Jake Tapper, sounding indignant,

demanded CNN's White House correspondent get the Biden Administration "to answer for" the fact that the Trump Administration didn't leave them a vaccination distribution plan.

[gratuitous]

16. The media have completely forgotten Trump's grandiose boasts

Remember how there were going to be 20 million vaccines administered by the end of December? It was a bunch of hooey, but the media repeated it was if it was something real that was going to happen. Until it didn't. Oh, the Trump administration was going to use the military, and Donald knew so much about logistics (more than anyone), and by golly, the media had better be giving Trump the credit he deserved for talking such a good vaccine game!

Now, mere weeks later, all the Trump promises are just so much vapor, completely forgotten by the media. Which means they have no context for rating what the Biden administration has been doing, which is having to put together from square one a vaccination program because Trump left the cupboard less than bare and the distribution system hollowed out. And I know those are concepts the media can grasp, because those were the excuses the Trump administration used early on every time they failed to do something because they didn't know what they were doing.

19. Who Publicized The "Surplus" They Were Going To Release?

Almost all major media carried that as news despite the fact that the manufacturers were issuing public statements as to volume.
The surplus never existed, but they breathlessly reported this terrific development.
Then, the whole country was waiting for millions of new, nonexistent doses, and when they didn't materialize, became stories about "Where did the extra vaccines go?"
It took no more than a 10 second internet search to figure out those doses didn't exist, but no!

[TeamPooka]

20. Trump was just broken promises and lies but they can't say it on TV.

[Guilded Lilly]

21. When the "media" becomes about facts, truth and actual news again, then they (most of them...

a courageous professional few have stayed true to their journalistic intent and not become ratings grabbing reality show script mentality amateurs), can be treated with credible respect.

Follow the professionals showing character and integrity.
Ignore the rube slackers.
