Which Media Narratives Will Dominate Biden's Rocky NATO Presser?
Media Bias,Media Watch,Media Industry,Joe Biden,Press Conference
Joe Biden’s NATO presser wasn’t a total trainwreck, but it did come off the tracks, especially when he called Donald Trump his vice president. The presser, which lasted just under an hour, supposedly was well-received in Biden land. That’s not necessarily an achievement; all Biden had to do was not fall over. It has become a Rorschach test of sorts, with people on both ends of this in the Democratic Party seeing whatever they want to see. Biden supporters think he “stuck the landing,” while others wallow in despair as the president did well enough to survive another day but didn’t do poorly enough to make the case to dump him ironclad.
However, the questions about his mental fitness remain. While the Left is happy Biden didn’t have a repeat of June 27 with no opponent opposite him; the media knows this NATO press conference wasn’t a turning point regarding his mental decline. The Democratic Party infighting will continue to rage. Susan Glasser had more about Biden’s “less-than-awful” presser (via The New Yorker).
