Jennifer Rubin: #Biden has succeeded all along. The media can’t ignore it.

"Until recently, the gulf between President Biden’s performance in office and the coverage of his presidency was as vast as it has been in any modern presidency. Biden has steered the country out of a recession and pandemic, gotten through a slew of critical legislation (some bipartisan), avoided a default on the debt, set the stage for about 14 million new jobs and overseen a resurgence of manufacturing. Internationally, he has restored the United States’ image and solidified and expanded NATO in defense of Ukraine. Nevertheless, mainstream media coverage has been incessantly negative, dwelling on fears of recession, pointing to failure to “unite the country” (as if unity were possible in the MAGA era), obsessing over premature polling of dubious value and regurgitating MAGA talking points about his age."

@Bongolian I mean this story is clearly not true.

Biden steered us out of a pandemic and a recession? Biden had control of the virus particles? Obviously he did not.

No, it's stupid to say that Biden was in control of that, and farthermore, it's authoritarian to pretend like the president has such amazing amount of control over the world.

No. Biden did not steer the world that way. He can't have. He doesn't have that much authority even if certain people apparently want to vest the president with that sort of authority.

He just doesn't have that power, and for good reason.
