Fox News Political Director: The Press Hates 'Joe Biden Like God Hates Sin'
The Beltway press is focused on Joe Biden's gaffes more than Trump's daily toxic lying and erratic behavior, of course.
This is exactly the kind of media malfeasance we saw as a run-up to the Iraq war. I'm not a supporter of Joe Biden, but as many pundits (even on Fox News) have said his whole career has been filled with flubs and mistakes. Why is it so much worse now?
Fox News' Chris Stirewalt got right to the heart of the matter on America's Newsroom.
After Sandra Smith played Biden's recent gaffe about the Parkland shooting, she asked Chris his opinion.
Chris said, "Joe Biden? Never...a gaffe machine."
Then he got serious.
"You know I see a lot of parallels between Joe Biden 2020 and Donald Trump 2016," he said as far as the party leaders had reacted to the viability of their candidacies.
Stirewalt continued, "The press hates him. I have never seen an intensity in the political press -- not since Jeb Bush. Not since they were lancing Jeb Bush have I seen the political press unified in their loathing for a candidate in the way."
Sandra Smith off-camera said, "Wow."
"They hate Joe Biden like God hates sin," Stirewalt said.
