And to the media, the GOP is still John McCain, even though it's really Paul Gosar, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell...or Orange Narcissus.
Funny how you can count on coverage to, wow, what a coincidence, constantly emphasize GOP talking points.
Makes you wonder who their sources are...
Sure, inflation's up -- to roughly Reagan era levels -- and I remember oil and gas prices rising during the Bush II administration without run-for-your-lives headlines.
And...while I'm not expecting the media to become a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, it'd be nice if they weren't marching in lockstep with Fox Noise, which is a propaganda arm of the Republican Party... and while I'm not at all a fan of John McCain, and am sort of doubtful he'd have gone full Liz Cheney, the fact is the GOP wasn't and isn't John McCain. It's Donald Trump, i.e., a toxic blend of hubris and fascism...which the media might want to take notice of, particularly given that fascists don't tend to have much use for an independent press.
And blaming the Biden Administration for not fixing the mess in all of not-quite-ten-months, while the GOP becomes more blatantly and outwardly authoritarian might be, well, a little much even in normal times...these aren't normal times.
Just saying.
