Biden goes on attack against Trump, media in Detroit amid calls to drop out
President Biden is expected to speak later Friday at Renaissance High School, the same venue he campaigned at ahead of the 2020 presidential primary.
Video of the speech here, he really did hit it out of the park:

You're viewing a single thread.
Yes, attack the media when you don’t like their coverage. Great idea.
I mean, if they're going to harp on Biden forgetting names, it seems prudent to point out they're giving Trump a pass...
I don’t think it’s a good strategy, I don’t really buy this narrative that the media is so mean to Biden, and it’s bad for society to criticize good journalists just because their coverage is unfavorable to you.
If anything, the media is too kind to Biden. They should be ruthlessly honest in reporting on political leaders.
I mean just in general media does not always equate to the truth, it's not a thing of it being kind or not. It's what gets them the most views.
Of course. And there is a right way to criticize certain coverage but I don’t see the Biden camp doing this. They’re instead just using it as a shield to avoid addressing real concerns that voters have.
I guess the main point of this chain is that Biden name is blasted across all media for mispeaking but trump is not similarly blasted across all media for constantly lying or for other flaws.
Trump is plenty criticized. He’s been pilloried by the media for the past 8 years. I don’t really think this argument makes any sense. I think cognitive bias makes Biden supporters more sensitive to this criticism, just as Trump supporters falsely believe that the media has been unfair to him.
And again, coverage about Biden “misspeaking” catches on because voters have serious concerns about his age. And because he and his advisors have deliberately attempted to hide information relating to these concerns. When the mask slips, as it did in the debate, of course it’s going to make a splash.
Trump was smart to stay out of the way and not do anything dramatic while democrats panic. However, this shooting will likely break the old Biden media cycle, and we’ll see where it goes from here. I think the media will be happy to criticize Trump once things settle and the next topic comes down the pipeline.
I would say I am cognitively biased against trump not towards Biden so what do you have to say to that?
