As of Friday afternoon, the homepages of MSNBC, CBS News, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and New York Times had no mention of Biden's stumbling incident earlier in the day at Joint Base Andrews. The news blackout was not strictly partisan, with the homepage of right-leaning One America News Network also omitting any mention of the repeated tripping. It drew a stark contrast to breathless coverage of Donald Trump gingerly walking down a ramp at West Point a year ago.

WNU Editor: With the exception of Reuters, most wire services ignored this story. In Canada, this story (from what I saw) was completely ignored. The European press covered it (with the exception of France 24 and DW).

The left wing press looks more and more as the Pravda. Extremely sad and dangerous for our democracy.
Study shows Trump's "Chinese virus" tweet sparked increased use of anti-Asian hashtags on Twitter

A tweet by then-President Trump using the phrase "Chinese virus" sparked an increase in the use of anti-Asian hashtags on Twitter, according to a University of California, San Francisco study published on Wednesday. Researchers examined nearly 700,000 tweets containing more than 1 million hashtags in the days leading up to and after Mr. Trump's tweet.
"The United States will be powerfully, supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!" Mr. Trump tweeted on March 16, 2020.
Researchers also found that those who used the hashtag #chinesevirus were significantly more likely to use other overtly racist hashtags. Those who used the hashtag #covid19 used fewer racist hashtags, however.
"These results may be a proxy of growth in anti-Asian sentiment that was not as prevalent as before," UCSF epidemiology and biostatics assistant professor Yulin Hswen told CBS San Francisco. "Using racial terms associated with a disease can result in the perpetuation of further stigmatization of racial groups."
According to a snapshot of Mr. Trump's Twitter account from March 16, 2020 accessed via the Internet Archive, "Chinese virus" was at one point trending worldwide. At the time, his tweet drew condemnation from many who labeled the phrase as racist.
Mr. Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in the wake of the January 6 Capitol attacks but has continued to use the phrase "Chinese virus" and variations of it.
Hswen told CBS San Francisco that words matter, as shown by the study she helped conduct. "Many had believed ['China virus'] was not a derogatory term, however, our evidence showed that is not the case and that more negative terms related to anti-Asian sentiment were associated with Chinese virus," she said.
Perhaps instead of trying to tear down a candidate you have not supported, one who is doing a job so well that he is supported by over 60% of the public, you could then turn your attention away from what is not real or important news but to more central things, for example:
China is harvesting organs from Falun Gong members, finds expert panel | Reuters
here, over a millions people have been killed for organ sales...and you worry about a slip on steps that did not even require any medical attention?
MSM in Am indeed spent much less time than the press elsewhere. And how much space did this site give e when Trump stumbled? NONE
That pales in comparison to the whopping 22 minutes and 13 seconds CNN dedicated to the ramp Trump used while speaking at West Point's commencement ceremony in June 2020, fueling speculation of a health decline, according to a study from NewsBusters.
While MSNBC spent roughly a minute on Biden's incident, the liberal network was far more sympathetic to the Democrat than to Trump.
so partisanship etc shows what goes on. Now take a selfie
THE MEDIA WHICH DOES NOT DO ITS JOB TO INFORM YOU, IS ACTIVELY UNDERMINING THE CHECKS AND BALANCES A DEMOCRACY NEEDS TO FUNCTION.
THESE MEDIA SERVICES ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS
The offenders, as always
CNN
WAPO
BY TIMES
MSNBC
NPR
It is always them that lie to you, divide you and carry water for China
How much more evidence do you all need?
If Biden has serious trouble we have a very capable VP to step in. When Pence stumbled on plane steps that was ok.
Perhaps Biden should spend as much time playing golf as did Trump and we would not have the stimulus money that NOT ONE OF YOU HYPOCRITES WILL TURN DOWN
Its just a guy tripping come on its not a ploy by the media to keep you in the dark, who fucking cares. Y'all need to set your priorities right
