15. Manufactured drama. Yep. That says it all in two words.

Remember, they’ve gotta have eyeballs on the TV and gossipy, eye-grabbing, rumor-roiling column inches in the papers, so let’s turn it into “Wrestlemania on the Potomac”. Even when there’s no “there” there.

All they needed was to find one or two grumblers and that allowed everything to be blown out of proportion and chaos was more easily created, and then shaken AND stirred.

It’s becoming absolutely infuriating how the media refuses to give President Biden a break, or credit for all he’s accomplished in his first two years in the White House! It makes me wonder if only Republicans and Democratic contrarians are being not only listened to, but hired across all media outlets, tasked mainly with dumping on Biden. Pisses me off to NO end.

If anybody’s in a mood to correct the record, this would be a GREAT time to get busy on letters to the editor or calls to local talk shows, to start spreading THAT message instead. When the public hears or reads only the bad stuff with no rebuttals, active fact-checking, or equal time for correcting the record, the only conclusion they’re led to is “Biden = bad!”

I find it INFURIATING!!!!!
