Ok if that's what you think then maybe it is time for you to move on and instead talk about the new guy. Any thoughts?

This is interesting.

This year’s presidential election showed that slightly more than half of America no longer wants a president who speaks to them openly and often. They don’t want a chief executive who tweets, regularly takes contentious interviews, routinely answers questions from hostile reporters, and does freestyle stand-up at his boisterous rallies.

Instead, they want a fragile, cosseted figurehead — a museum piece — who gives few speeches (all shopworn and canned), avoids tough questions from the press, and utters nothing without a teleprompter. They want T. S. Eliot’s hollow man, a headpiece filled with straw. They want a basement candidate who will be a bunker president. They want Joe Biden.

One would think that Joe Biden would be beaming with pride at winning and would want to openly discuss that and other important subjects. One would think that he would relish having a good back and forth with reporters both hostile and friendly. The question is why not?

Quote:
Biden’s first appearance on November 9 — just after the news media had anointed him as president — gives us an idea of how he will handle the press going forward. He spoke for 10 minutes from a teleprompter, answered a few softball questions from pre-screened reporters about Trump’s refusal to concede, and then shuffled off the stage.
Will this kind of thing persist throught Biden's administration?

What we have of course is a complete 180 degree turn by Trump's detractors in the MSM who now are shamelessly willing to protect the President of their choice from any and all harmful reporting.
