****not my opinion. I didn’t write this. 

You could post 10 right wing, anti-Biden opinion pieces a day.  Here's some options:  Wall Street Journal, National Review, American Conservative, Breitbart, Blaze TV, OAN, Foxnews.com... there's more if you need some other options. 

This might be hard for you to believe but I read none of those and never heard of some of them. I thought it was kind of shocking to read that opinion piece from Piers Morgan. That’s why I posted it. I guess it’s not that shocking to people who read those above mentioned “news” outlets. 

I would say it was a predictable piece from Morgan. He's an idiot.

I agree, he’s an idiot. I always thought he was a left leaning, anti trump guy. That’s why I found it surprising. Guess I didn’t know better. 

 Are you sure you are not thinking of someone else? He was literally Trump's Apprentice. lol

Never watched the show. And was that before he was president?

Of course it was before he was president. He won the show in '08 or something and then appeared as a judge periodically until it ended right before Trump ran for president. Other than the gun stuff and a couple other issues, he's always been a big supporter of Trump. He denounced him, rightly, after the insurrection but just months later wrote that article saying he missed him.

Piers Morgan is an opportunist. 

Of course? Ok lol. I didn’t know. Not sure what the pic has to do with anything then. Howard stern was a big fan and friend of Trump before he became president. He’s had nothing nice to say about him since. 

Well....generally speaking presidents don't host reality shows while running the country. That is why I said "of course."

Stern has been an outspoken critic of Trump ever since he declared he was running for office. Morgan has done the exact opposite of what Stern did, despite disagreeing with him on those few issues. 

Trump actually suggested that he could still do the Apprentice even if POTUS. Fucking idiot

One "walk back" after the conference, on the Ukraine issue.  It's clear what he was saying, but you really should not hedge anything right now.  Joe's honest, and that can be an issue sometimes.  One walk back after two hours is pretty damn good though.

I only watched about 20 minutes, but it included this question-answer described here.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/biden-appears-lose-cool-reporters-question-divisiveness-go-back-read-what-i-said.amp

That came off as attacking and belittling to be, and he was wrong and avoided the question.
The reporter was referring to his previous comment of Do you want to be on the side of King or Wallace, of Lewis or Connor?
His answer was basically you can’t read or understand English, despite being a reporter. When I don’t know how else you can take that comment.

So he lost his cool for one question out like 180? Seems like a big improvement over the last guy, no?

I wouldn't even go so far as to say he lost his cool.  He got annoyed.

For sure. 

But I think the point is that Brian J. Karem's tweet is false. No surprise there.

i will refer back to your criticisms of every trump press conference.

one question. nobody can stand up there and take questions for 2 hours on these nuanced issues and be perfect.

i wonder how many times he regaled the reporters with tales of his amazing. unprecedented electoral college victory, how he made a perfect phone call this week, and how good his polls are, and how high his press conference ratings are. at least he did not suggest that we shove a powerful light up one of our orifaces to kill covid.

i swear, nothing will ever be good enough for some people.

I never compared him to the last guy. Just commenting on the tweet that was shared.

This is the Biden thread, why does everyone want to talk about Trump?
The comment was he never attacked, belittled or avoided a question. I watched for 20 minutes and saw all of that.
I don’t think it’s a big deal, never said it was. We can discuss this conference without focusing on trump. 

He tried to take back his comments from last week and by doing so accused the reporter he can’t read and write when asked about it. Not a big deal, I laughed when he said it. But it still happened.

Its the disingenuous nonsense I have been harping on for a year now. They take one thing he does and blow it up, despite brushing off the fact the previous guy did it tenfold during his term.

Well he is a lying member of the lamestream media. I miss having a president that had the guts to tell terrible reporters that they are terrible reporters.

The tweet was a direct comparison to the last guy. So the point remains intact.

What criticisms of every Trump conference? I think Trump’s press conferences were usually ridiculous too. But I’m not sure your point?  I criticized trumps conference so I can’t criticise Biden’s?

The question was fair. It was “you campaigned on unity. Do you think calling those who vote against your bills Jim Crow and Conor unity?” Fair question. He denied making those connections, which he did, and accused him of not being able to write (or read).

We we’re taking about the conference. I made 1 short comment where he didn’t answer the question, denied remarks he made and belittled a reporter and people get all offended. Is the bar really so low that we just have to be better than the most disliked president in our history? I didn’t add commentary about how bad Biden was, literally just reference the Q&A.  Yeah, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal in 2 hours. But it happened, they were talking about it so I pointed out that Q&A.

I can imagine the first president of West Germany, whoever that was, whenever he was questioned just being like “we’ll complain when I’ve killed 6 million Jews. Until then shut up.”

Instead of just comparing everything by to trump and avoiding the comment, why can’t anyone just say “Yeah, that was a bad answer. He should have clarified what he meant by those comments instead of insulting the reporter. Voter ID isn’t Jim Crpw so take a minute to clarify that. But he did well the rest of the time.” Why is that so hard?

And he "appeared to lose his cool" over the issue of voting rights. Lol. If there is one thing I want my president fired up on is the ability for all citizens to be able to vote in free and fair elections. I see nothing wrong with this.

Now, compare that with the previous guy who appeared to lose his cool over issues like defending white supremacists in Charlottesville, or taking Russia's side over his own intelligence, or lying about winning an election he lost etc etc etc. At least Biden's lost cool was over something righteous.

Oh to have a president who says what’s on his mind.

Why does the source matter? I remembered the question and answer, googled it, the first link to have it was fox. Not really surprising. Watch the video, ignore the commentary.

The source matters because they hone in on something that was pretty minor over the course of a two hour presser, and then they use words that are overstated or misstated, in my opinion.  ]

Couldn't the lede have been written as "Biden passionately defends Voting Rights Bill currently in front of Senate"? 
That's what happened in my view.
