The Media Try to Inflate Biden s Stock – WSJ

Media bias is nothing new, but this goes further. For almost four years there has been a concerted, sustained and so far successful effort by supposedly independent media organizations to elect, defend and preserve in office the nation s leading Democrat. It is immanent throughout the coverage of this president and mostly takes the form of misrepresenting reality by willfully ignoring or suppressing anything that undermines him what we might call journalism of omission.

The juxtaposition of the attention given to the Hawaiian fact-check with the effort to look past the many infelicities of the president s island misadventure is a small example of the Biden-Keeping Operation. Press coverage of the handling of the aftermath of natural disasters can damage presidential reputations, as George W. Bush discovered with Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But this BKO has involved much more substantive, sinister dishonesty.
