THE SOTU AND MEDIA BIAS: A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY

The previous blog noted media bias regarding Joe Biden’s State Of The Union SOTU) speech.

But Ed Morrissey of hotair.com, in his latest blog, has compiled a far more comprehensive list showing this bias.  With appreciation to Mr. Morrissey (who has a lot more in his blog than this list; I urge you to read every word), here it is:

  • Axios after the speech: “President Biden eased Democrats’ concerns about his age with a feisty and commanding State of the Union address Thursday night.”
  • NY Times: In-Your-Face Biden Takes on Trump and His Own Doubters
  • NYT’s lead: “This was not Old Man Joe. This was Forceful Joe. This was Angry Joe. This was Loud Joe. This was Game-On Joe.”
  • WaPo front page: Fiery Biden takes on GOP, makes case for second term
  • WaPo story headline: Biden delivers State of the Union with fiery political tone 
  • WaPo story lead: “President Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address Thursday night…”
  • WaPo video headline (I kid you not): “Biden’s feistiest State of the Union exchanges” (WaPo really commits to the bit!)
  • Punchbowl: A feisty Biden blasts GOP foes
  • Also Punchbowl: “If you are a casual political observer, you tuned into the State of the Union Thursday night and saw a feisty President Joe Biden…” It’s a twofer!
  • Reuters: Biden takes on Trump and Republicans in fiery State of the Union speech
  • Semafor: “President Biden delivered a fiery stemwinder against Donald Trump in a State of the Union speech that served as a general election preview.”
  • Associated Press: Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term

I rest my, and Mr. Morrissey’s, case.
