Next, we look at the way the press is reacting to the budget battle and looming government shutdown. Put simply, they are upset. Chuck Todd displays stunted logic to claim the GOP does not have a mandate in Congress, so we remind him of what the Dems have wielded the past few years. Then Jen Psaki gets mad that voters are influencing the politicians in Washington. 

Then we close with a look at the reports finally coming out about Joe Biden’s condition. It underscores how this is the biggest scandal in the press this year, and one example comes up to typify the manner in which they behaved on the issue.

Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media malpractice and misinformation.

LINKAGE PARK

• ABC News settles the defamation suit with Donald Trump, probably due to George Stephanopoulos being directed to not use the word “rape” on the air.

• The Washington Post is mad that Elon Musk helping block a spending bill, AND they are reporting on wasteful spending…within the same day.   

• The press has been struggling with keeping their conspiracies in order: Is Trump a raging dictator, or is Elon Musk the one running the show???  

• Chuck Todd thinks that Trump’s mandate means he needs to compromise with Democrats.

• Jen Psaki is upset that voters are telling politicians how to govern.

• New reporting details how far Biden has slipped mentally, and how he is not running the country.

• Chris Cillizza disqualifies himself entirely, apologizing for not covering Biden’s mental slide earlier.

• Why Cillizza’s come-to-ethics moment is completely worthless.

“I should have pushed harder”

Utter garbage, Chris. Journalists did push, including yourself — AGAINST those pointing out the facts about Biden.
Those mentioning it were castigated, and evidence being shown was lied about and described as “fake”.
You get no pass on this matter. https://t.co/IycsLk4KPF pic.twitter.com/1gfTgp85ov
