The Mainstream Media (MSM) have been toeing the Right Wing narrative on Prez Biden for some time. It is refreshing to see some truthful reporting.
CNN & MSM are changing the Right-Wing narrative
The MSM could not continue the Republican Right-Wing narrative of a failed President Joe Biden. Let me be clear, I wanted much more progressive policies passed than we got. Often Biden’s hands were tied, but I believe he could have used the bully pulpit more effectively against Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. But I have always believed he was willing to govern by the policies that got him elected. But having Manchin and Sinema as a backstop gave him the choice to govern from his soul.
The above said, his successes, however tempered, supersede most presidents before him. CNN enumerated a few and realized their objective reputation was in danger. Well, my Daily Kòs friend Frank Vyan Walton created a more comprehensive list.
