Earth to White House: Idiotic Ron Klain claims press is tougher on Biden than Trump

Earth to White House: Idiotic Ron Klain claims press is tougher on Biden than Trump

In a sign of just how detached from reality this White House has become, presidential Chief of Staff Ron Klain urges you to consider the idea that the press is being tougher on President Joe Biden than on his predecessor.

Klain tweeted “for your consideration” with a link to Dana Millbank’s latest Washington Post column — which warns that “the media are serving as accessories to the murder of democracy” by writing critically about Biden’s performance.

“We need a skeptical, independent press. But how about being partisans for democracy? The country is in an existential struggle between self-governance and an authoritarian alternative,” Millbank whines.

In other words, the media should set objectivity aside, lest Republicans stage a comeback. As if people can’t see for themselves that inflation is soaring, the southern border has become a joke, Biden never got around to crushing COVID as he promised and so on.

That’s what’s driving the president’s ever-sinking poll numbers

And never mind that the media did their damnedest to kneecap the Trump presidency, colluding with government insiders to gin up the utterly bogus RussiaGate investigation. (Not that the elite press cares to admit the truth of that even now.)

Heck, Millbank’s own paper never went a day without multiple “Trump is Satan/Hitler” stories. Plus, the media establishment was in the tank for Biden all 2020 long, even suppressing this Post’s Hunter Biden scoops.

Sadly, most liberals still eat up the hysteria, and they’re the lion’s share of Klain’s half-million Twitter followers. But it seems the guy largely running the White House actually believes this idiocy himself — which goes a long way to explaining why this presidency is such a disaster.
