Democrats outright expect journalists to "be on their side" and feel "horrified" when they're pressed by journalists.

A "prominent White House reporter" made that remark while speaking anonymously to journalist Julia Ioffe for an article on the dramatic shift in coverage of the Trump and Biden administrations, notably the expectation from the latter of positive framing.

"Democrats in general have a much thinner skin," the reporter said. "This is not unique to Trump but Republicans never expect a fair shake, so if you cover them fairly, you can have a good working relationship with them. Democrats de facto expect you to be on their side and are horrified when you hold them to account as you would any other administration. It goes back to the Obama years. [Obama staffers would be] like, ‘Don’t you realize that being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition?!’ And I would be like, ‘Yes, but I’m writing about why your website keeps crashing.’"



ROFL!

Red's source is a Fox News article.

What's funny is the article bemoans a "honeymoon period" that the press has given Biden. What goes unsaid, by article or Red, is that while Biden may be enjoying a relative easier relationship than Trump did,  it might be explained by,

1-Biden's non-adverserial approach and  respect for journalists, as opposed to Trump's open hostility to a functioning free-press.

2-regular WH press conferences where there is a professional conducting real Q&A with the press. Respect begets respect.

3-600,000 Americans died due to Trump's incompetence with covid, and the press understood Trump's complicity and negligence. How fucking polite do you have to be to a fucking serial killer?

4-Scandal after scandal by the Trump administration. Serial cons and a serial killer, might provide fertile soil for investigative fervor.

In contrast Joe's Mr Clean.

Red and Fox may mock the first 6 months of the Biden-press relationship, and Red may ROFL, but Fox News lost all objectivity and they sucked Trump dick for 4 years, and then took it up the ass, rather than act as responsible journalists.

I’m glad the current administration is cutting intercourse with the propaganda arms of hostile foreign powers even when they pretend to offer some sort of twisted news substitute.

But many feel a yawning sense of emptiness and disappointment at what the ebbing Trump tide left behind. “ I think everyone probably misses the ease of it, having so many willing leakers, observed one White House reporter  “ It made you think that you were better than you were.  It made you think you were a really good reporter, but really are you? I think we had an inflated sense of our own abilities and it was all a fraud.
Now everyone is exposed and everyone is dogshit.
Where are the great stories?
They don’t exist.
I can’t remember the last time I read a great story that really revealed something about the Biden White House.

It’s less than six months!

Give it time and I’m sure MAGA media will find some mud to stick on someone in the Administration and then try to smear the mud on Biden. Just like they laid the website crash at the feet of Obama by saying, “This is Obama’s Katrina! One was a natural disaster and one was man made.”


and that was in the NBCWashington newsroom!

I remember Ashley Whippet! One of my favorite athletes of all time.

Nobody ran harder, jumped higher, or caught nearly so well.
