By now, everyone who follows politics should recognize that the liberal media will deliberately ignore embarrassing gaffes by President Joe Biden, especially if they suggest he's not mentally sharp enough to be the president. Biden asked, "Where's Jackie?" about a congresswoman killed in a car crash two months ago was a TV black hole: nothing on the morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS, and nothing on CNN or MSNBC.
This week offered a tidy contrast and an inevitable reminder that these same networks can never stop obsessing over Trump's tweets -- even after he was banned by Twitter.
The taxpayer-funded "PBS NewsHour" took after Trump on Monday in a segment with two liberal political pundits: NPR's Hillary-coddling reporter Tamara Keith and Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report.
PBS reporter Laura Barron-Lopez read from a Trump post on Truth Social, his Twitter imitation, where he said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell "has a death wish" and "must immediately seek help and advise from his China-loving wife, Coco Chow." This mysterious outburst is referring to Elaine Chao, who Trump named his secretary of transportation.
Lopez added: "Today, Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney said that rhetoric like that could cause violence. She also called it racist. But the vast majority of Republicans have not condemned this. So, Tamara, what does this silence among the GKeith seconded the PBS emotion: "Well, this is pretty classic silence. When Trump has tweeted things in the past, now he puts it out on Truth Social, he goes up to the line, he crosses the line, he does things and says things that put Republicans in a terrible position. And then they say, 'Oh, gosh, I haven't seen the tweet.'"
