Media rave about Biden, complain about Trump skipping WH Correspondents’ Dinner

Joe Biden was 24 in 1967 when the Beatles’ "With a Little Help from My Friends" first hit radio. The song could be Biden’s campaign theme song today to describe how his media friends are boosting his presidential candidacy.

The famed F-bomber of Team Obama, Biden’s position was called “progressive patriotism” and termed “a bold appeal to bedrock American values” in news accounts this week after he announced Thursday that he is running for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Perennial Democrat and ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos described Biden as “so familiar he can go straight to the general election in some ways.”

Journalists humanized the candidate. “CBS This Morning” co-host Norah O’Donnell went for the folksy nicknames. Biden became “Uncle Joe” or “Regular Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania.”

ABC depicted Biden as a friend to the working class, holding his first campaign meeting “at a Teamsters hall in Pittsburgh emphasizing that lunch pail, labor union politics that he’s always championed.”

Biden’s scandals and gaffes were either downplayed or skipped altogether.

ABC’s “World News Tonight” was agog, with anchor David Muir declaring: “The major new headline tonight in the race for 2020: Former Vice President Joe Biden will announce he's running this week in a video Thursday morning.”

Biden has run two failed presidential campaigns, but now his third is the “major new headline.”

By Friday, ABC, CBS and NBC had devoted more than 47 minutes to Biden’s candidacy in their evening newscasts. Most of that was either positive or downplaying Biden’s negatives.

Slow Joe wouldn’t skip that dinner if it added 10 years to hi life. Way too much owed to the paparazzi class.

MSM-Democrats complain if Trump breathes.

The fact that they’re inconvenienced by his non-appearance at their little backslapping party is hardly newsworthy.

“I forget. What are Biden’s accomplishments again?”

Getting elected and re-elected forever.

But while Joe was soldiering on the Democratic Party was captured by America haters of the Marxist and 3rd world ilk, and they despise old white guys like Joe.

They’ll chew him up like a steak thrown into a pond full of piranha.

Groper Joe is good at failure. His latest fail is that N in front of Obama.

So...

is Crazy Joe the anointed one? Or is the DNC (via msm) building him up early only to destroy him when the real candidate’s time has come?

I can’t believe everyone is giving him a pass on his handling of little girls.

Norah O’Donnell may be too much of a dunce to know that ‘Uncle Joe’ was Stalin’s nickname.

Or she figures no one else remembers. Probably most of GenX and younger have never heard of Stalin.

The MSM better start exercising if they plan on dragging that worthless sack of you know what across the finish line.
