After months of the media automatically defending President Biden’s blunders, it seems their luck is running out. Biden’s Press Secretary Jen Psaki was stunned when CBS’s Gayle King called a spade a spade by criticizing Biden’s “very bad behavior.”
Fox News reports:
King noted on “CBS Mornings” that “there’s a lot of incoming” at the White House these days, given a recent spate of negative headlines at home and abroad for the Biden administration. After Psaki previewed President Joe Biden‘s Tuesday address before the United Nations General Assembly as forward-looking, King added that Biden couldn’t “ignore what has happened before.”
“We’re still getting hammered for how the withdrawal from Afghanistan happened,” King said. “Everybody knows, many people believe it was time. It’s just the way that it was done … That’s not a good look. You look at what’s happening with immigration. You look at France now saying that they’ve been betrayed by the United States. So I get that we have to look forward. But what are we doing to justify or explain what appears to be very bad behavior on our part?”
“We don’t see it that way,” Psaki said, before saying the dust-up with France concerned Australia desiring the superior nuclear submarine technology of the United States. “They’re displeased about that, but we have a long-abiding friendship with them that’s going to endure.”
While King noted the overall Afghanistan withdrawal, she didn’t specifically mention the recent botched U.S. drone strike that killed 10 civilians and no ISIS-K terrorists. Biden has called for a full investigation into the tragic accident.
More members from the media has recently begun criticizing the Biden administration’s many mistakes, a sharp turn from previous coverage that would constantly come to their rescue.
