Bill Hemmer blasts media for ‘love fest’ presser after doting reporters lob more softballs
November 17, 2020 | Frieda Powers

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer dubbed the latest Joe Biden press conference a “love fest” with the media as reporters gave the Democrat another pass on questions of substance.

Hemmer and his panelists on “Bill Hemmer Reports” Monday drew attention to the softball questions and called out the media for not confronting Biden, who is being called the president-elect by Fox News despite the election not yet being certified.

“You’ve been watching to what amounts to a bit of a love fest here between the media,” Hemmer told viewers as the news conference ended and the network coverage returned to the studio.

Turning to his guests, Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen and Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee, Hemmer then recounted some of the questions lobbed at the former vice president.

Biden took about 12 questions from reporters today.  Not one was about the violence against Trump supporters in the streets of DC. No one asked him to condemn it. If Biden supporters were attacked, the only questions to Trump would be about violence, demanding that he condemn it.

Better get used to it.

It's not going to change.

The "new ComInform" is in place, doing as it's told to do.

Oh, yeah. The "news media" (/snort) will go from 100% negative coverage of the President to 100% positive coverage in an instant as soon as January 20th dawns.

Their current suspension of objectivity will magically transmogrify into a perfect suspension of disbelief, as scowls turn to smiles, and knees that once propelled kicks, offer only genuflection.
