The mainstream media provided favorable reporting for Biden\u2019s presidential campaign in 2020, then became energetic against arguments of election fraud that November. Even when their audience started to diverge from them with regard to their view of Biden, they continued favorable coverage\u2026 Until recently. The new press secretary is among those finding this out the hard way.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

NBC News kicked off the negative stories early Tuesday morning following the long Memorial Day weekend with a report headlined, “Inside a Biden White House adrift,” telling readers, “Amid a rolling series of calamities and sinking approval ratings, the president\u2019s feeling lately is that he just can\u2019t catch a break \u2014 and that angst is rippling through his party.”<\/p>\n

NBC News began its report by noting that Biden has pressed aides to do a better job with messaging.<\/p>\n

“Faced with a worsening political predicament, President Joe Biden is pressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy while bristling at how they\u2019ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets,” NBC News wrote. “Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters\u2019 confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign, people close to the president say.”<\/p>\n

The report lists the crises that have “piled up” to make “the Biden White House look flat-footed” from soaring inflation, high gas prices, a spike in COVID cases, to the mass shootings that have taken place in recent weeks, writing how “Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can revive his prospects by November” as Republicans are expected to ride a red wave in the midterm elections. NBC News even suggested a potential White House shakeup may occur as rumors of Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain may leave the administration after the midterms and Biden adviser Anita Dunn may rise as his successor.<\/p>\n

CNN’s Jake Tapper also used the “flat-footed” term on Sunday while questioning Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo about looking caught off-guard by the inflation and formula crises.<\/p>\n

“We’re talking about two critical issues here that directly affect the American people where they live. Where the Biden administration looks like it was caught flat-footed \u2013 inflation and baby formula, not to mention the record gas prices, which were hurt by the war in Ukraine, no doubt, but that’s not the only reason why they’re so high,” Tapper said on “State of the Union.”<\/p>\n

The Politico piece on Sunday also painted Biden as frustrated and the West Wing as beset by internal finger-pointing over his poor polling numbers.<\/p>\n

Hours after NBC News\u2019 report was published, the Washington Post published a piece headlined, “White House scrambles on inflation after Biden complains to aides,” that claimed Biden “fumes privately that [the] administration isn\u2019t doing enough to show concern on high prices.”<\/p>\n

“The White House launched a new push Tuesday to contain the political damage caused by inflation after President Biden complained for weeks to aides that his administration was not doing enough to publicly explain the fastest price increases in roughly four decades,” the Post framed its report that appeared to largely give Biden a pass on inflation but admitted the president is “struggling to show that at least he understands that Americans are suffering and is doing what he can.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
