Media coverage of Biden and Trump

Listen in on this Morning Joe conversation with Joe Scarborough, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle as they discuss former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric toward immigrants and the media coverage of President Joe Biden as the two head into a likely rematch in November. “On Sunday, the New York Times had a front-page story about a poll that parts of it were devastating to the chances for Joe Biden to win re-election. On Monday, again, on the front page above the fold, they had another story about Joe Biden, referencing the poll, but again referencing Joe Biden’s age. Why is it that they don’t cover things that we just saw and heard—a man who is literally losing his mind in front of audiences coast to coast – his name is Donald J. Trump? Why is it that this is not covered in a similar fashion to the way Joe Biden’s age is covered? Joe Biden knows how old he is, and Joe Biden does more in one hour, in a day, in the White House than Donald Trump has ever done in his presidency….I hate to criticize print media. I’m a print media guy, but this is out of control,” says Barnicle about the media coverage of President Biden this election season. Watch and join the conversation here.
