The Press Takes a Decidedly Different Stance Towards the Bidens’ White House Christmas
By Brad Slager | Nov 25, 2021 11:45 AM ET
This Christmas, the media swoons after years of insisting the Trump holidays resembled Halloween.
It is well established the national press complex has vastly different approaches to the two political parties. That imbalance, however, becomes further highlighted when we see the differences in coverage on non-political matters. They cannot help themselves and reveal the game when they inject bias even into pleasantries and innocuous events.
This week at the White House, the official Christmas tree was delivered. The Bidens accepted the delivery with the extended family, and the media warmly covered the event — as they should. These are the kind of sideshow activities that do not need to be framed with any broader political impact. They serve as innocent distractions and can be a needed dose of normalcy.

It is also a refreshing change, because over the past few Christmases, we saw a sour and dour approach to these holiday frivolities, with deeply negative coverage of how the Trump White House approached Christmas. There was even a call to boycott the annual White House Christmas press party, leading to President Trump canceling it outright for the balance of his term. Then, as First Lady Melani took bold stylish decisions, those were greeted harshly. Even today, some could not refrain from acidic remembrances of Christmas past.
