Media Boost Biden as 'Above the Fray'
Tim Graham

Posted: Jan 15, 2021 12:01 AM

Pardon me if I laugh when reporters tout that some politician they like is posing as being "above the fray." This fray is something reporters usually force politicians to confront. If politicians are effortlessly floating above it, reporters are allowing it.

The day House Democrats forced through a very rushed second impeachment of President Donald Trump, a New York Times front-page headline below the fold read, "Biden Stays Above the Fray To Focus on Mounting Crises."

Translation: "Biden Allowed to Pose as Bravely Focusing on the People's Business, With Our Help."

Reporters Michael Shear and Michael Crowley were mere Mike-rophones for the Biden message. Biden "has maintained a studied cool, staying largely removed from the searing debate that culminated on Wednesday with President Trump's impeachment and keeping his focus on battling a deadly pandemic, reviving a faltering economy and lowering the political temperature," they wrote.

He had a "studied cool" as he spent the last week "honing policy proposals and introducing new appointees while delivering a carefully calibrated, above-the-fray message."

That obviously includes The Times' own careful calibration into the Biden PR team.

He is above the fray because he doesn't even know what's going on.

After having read some of slow joe's comments this above the fray thing is a fantasy tatamount to the  Biden won the election fantasy.

For whatever time Biden will be allowed to coninue as president, anytime he is shown on TV this should be dispalyed in a corner of the screen   along with the words 'Brought to you by'

The Biden who is took money from Ukraine and Burisma, and China?

He is "above the fray" of those who believe in true freedom, to be sure.

From the article:
Reporters Michael Shear and Michael Crowley were mere Mike-rophones for the Biden message. Biden "has maintained a studied cool, staying largely removed from the searing debate that culminated on Wednesday with President Trump's impeachment and keeping his focus on battling a deadly pandemic, reviving a faltering economy and lowering the political temperature," they wrote.

I will not believe anything written by the "New Cominform Media" about ol' Joe.
The reports will be as reliable as were those about another "ol' uncle Joe" from some time back...

By the time they're finished we will not recognize in any way shape or form the president Joe Biden of the media.
