Give me a break.
Why not research how much negative news the press tried to cover up for Biden.
The wind caused him to stumble 3x on the airplane staircase.
The videos showing him lost and wandering around were faked by the right.
His mumbling, stumbling, falling all over the place, asking
dead people to come up to the podium, not knowing the name of the Pentagon,
not able to quote basics about the Bill Of Rights / Constitution, oh you know
the thing.
Etc.....
The list is endless.
Your dodge fails because numerous outlets have surveyed the Trump coverage and
it's rare that he gets a positive spin just like it was rare that Biden got a
negative
spin.
How about Biden hiding from interviews?
Yet Trump goes a couple of days and the media is complaining.
How about Biden calling lids all the time and spending excessive time at his
personal home with no log of visitors.
I could go on for pages.
Your argument is flaccid and with all the earmarks of a left wing dodge.
Move on.
