We might not compliment President Biden very often, but we'll go ahead and agree that he's done the goodest job he knows how to do, which is exactly what he told George Stephanopoulos yesterday (via the ABC News transcript):
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that's what this is about. Look, George. Think of it this way. You've heard me say this before. I think the United States and the world is at an inflection point when the things that happen in the next several years are gonna determine what the next six, seven decades are gonna be like.
The problem is that Biden considers a "goodest" job as president to be open borders, inflation and constant lies about having "brought prices down."
As usual though, the media hasn't done the "goodest" job possible in covering this dumpster fire of an administration. But maybe the most maddening part of this is how many in the press are pretending to have been duped, just a couple weeks after helping Dems push the "cheap fakes" BS about actual videos of Biden.
Here's one such example:
Axios: "Hell has no fury like a press corps deceived. Reporters feel duped — and some probably embarrassed —and are scrambling to unearth new evidence of decline." https://t.co/r7ez86u435

They were "deceived," Tater, they were the deceivers. So were some of the same Democrats who are now trying to join in on sounding the alarm bells about Biden now that the truth could no longer be kept under wraps. One of our editors put it this way:

Pretending you somehow missed that Biden behaves exactly like your Uncle Larry when the family finally decided to put him in a nursing home is the embarrassing part. https://t.co/LCWtt42m1h

Bingo! And yet we're now hearing stuff like this:
There were so many early signs. Biden rarely did tough interviews — much, much fewer than his predecessors. It was almost always friendly questions on friendly terrain. Presidential scholar Martha Kumar has data showing Biden has given about one-third as many formal press conferences and interviews as former President Trump at this point in their first term — and the fewest formal news conferences of any president since Ronald Reagan.
Yes, there were many early signs, and all but a few "journalists" cared to point it out.
Maybe investigating it before now instead of calling people who have noticed for years liars would have helped

The DC press, to a large degree, considers their jobs to be stenographers for the DNC.
Consider CNN's Jim Acosta. Consider him to be a hack. Everybody remembers how Acosta was a version of the douchebag reporter Richard Thornburg from the Die Hard movies, pretending to be putting his very life on the line every day to save "democracy" from Donald Trump. Then Biden takes office and reports come out that he sleeps part of the day away and mostly works between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is what we now get from the guardian of democracy:
Just chiming in for a moment to say how much I love a good nap. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Perfect analogy, because that's what the press does when there's a Democrat in the White House.
We got 18,000 stories about what flag was flying outside the Alito’s vacation home.

Y’all refusing to cover this for 3.5 years was a choice. https://t.co/9t4tF2QzgW
And now the people who have been trying to dupe everybody since before the election are trying to pretend to have been duped. There should be a Pulitzer Prize category for shamelessness.
