Sadly, I doubt this will be the case.

Biden is a seasoned professional, and among other things, that means that you do not abuse the powers of the office. Because of this, the news media can say or do anything to Biden without fearing any consequences.

Trump, on the other hand, will engage in a vendetta against his enemies, including those in the media, for any perceived slight, and will do it on the flimsiest excuse. This means that media companies see no downside to criticizing Biden, and no upside in criticizing Trump. This is straight out of the mafia playbook - racketeering 101.
