Did someone put something in ABC News’ water or something?

First, they call out Joe Biden for failing to give his predecessor Donald Trump any credit for the COVID19 vaccine rollout:

Despite calls for national unity and bipartisanship, President Joe Biden and his top aides have declined to give the Trump administration credit on the nation's COVID-19 vaccine rollout while relying heavily on a system established by their predecessors. https://t.co/4TUdgJnzJs

Then they call out Joe Biden for hiding — or being hidden by his handlers — from the press:

Pres. Biden not yet holding a formal news conference raises accountability questions. https://t.co/QmGJbQmKwh

And now, Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler is beside himself. How can he shift the blame off of the Biden administration?

Well, where there’s a will, there’s a way. And Glenn Kessler’s got an iron will:

Biden is late holding his first news conference. But this story fails to note that Trump only held one formal news conference in his first year — which a big issue at the time. Chopper chats aren't real news conferences. https://t.co/jN34y2R4WW
