This media coverage is so wildly negative against the president that it's hard to tolerate.

On Thursday and Friday. Joe Biden sent his public condolences and concerns to Hawaii and signed a federal disaster declaration. He spent the weekend at Rehoboth Beach and reporters who stalked him while he was resting, bike riding and sitting on the beach for the weekend demanded another statement.

Newsweek and the Rise of the Zombie Magazine

How a decaying legacy magazine is being used to launder right-wing ideas and conspiracy theories.

@Barbramon1 Yeah, I know they’re junk. I never use them as a legit source anymore. I’m just complaining about this kind of nonsense coverage.

@MJ I hear you. Some people may not realize how far Newsweek has fallen. They are the most likely to believe this BS.
I wish that the media would have paid half as much attention to the former president's 500(!) visits to his various properties. It's estimated that he spent one third of his term away from the White House.
