WaPo hack job on Democrats

Article after article about Biden in the WaPo can be characterized as sophisticated gaslighting. Subtle and nuanced but gaslighting nonetheless. “Here’s this which makes Biden look bad, but we aren’t going to include that which we bypass in order for us to give you conclusions about what in the world this meant in the first place.”

and Barack Obama.
When they had an actual criminal in the White House the WaPo worked harder than anyone but NPR to "find the good," of to them, TFG whom they always referred to as Mr. or Pres?

If I had not read complaints about language on this site, I would add my favorite words for our national media, but alas they are all X-rated.

The Republicans got what they want because they know most of their deplorable base won't read past the headline (even if they have a WaPo account, which I doubt most do). But that headline was front and center on my newsfeed.

disparaging articles today:

We were promised a change: why Biden is not having enough press conferences (paraphrased)

Why Biden is most unpopular US president

My question is why is UK press so hostile?
