‘Like mob bosses’: Fox News host says media is ‘carpet bombing Biden’ in political hit job
July 18, 2022 | Ashley Hill
Fox News’ Howard Kurtz took notice of the “media’s political hit job” to discredit President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump before the 2024 election season in what he said “feels like an orchestrated campaign.”
“I’ve never seen anything remotely like it, the media are trying to knock President Biden out of the running for a second term,” Kurtz said on Sunday’s episode of “MediaBuzz.”
“If the media were a political organization, as some of their critics believe, we’d say they’re carpet bombing Joe Biden, trying to damage him to the point where he can’t run again,” the former newspaper journalist said.
Even left-leaning CNN has had to admit that Biden has the worst polling numbers in history because “inflation is eating [the Biden] presidency alive at this point,” reporter Harry Enten said last week. He added that it’s only getting worse “as more people are concerned about inflation, Joe Biden’s disapproval rating climbs ever higher.”
Kurtz’s skepticism of the media coverage extended to both sides of the political aisle, arguing that it was clear that “the media are also attempting to disqualify Donald Trump, on grounds of shrinking support in his party. Far less surprising but still happening. The press does not want a rematch.”
Kurtz recalled the generous coverage Biden received during the 2020 campaign season because of the key trait he possessed of not being Trump.
