The Patriot Post® · Let the Leftmedia Lovefest Begin!

Big Media has it tough these days — especially the editors. After all, they’re the ones tasked with deciding which news stories to cover. Theirs is a solemn and monumental responsibility: that of writing the first draft of history.

And just imagine, for example, having to choose between a story about Joe Biden’s nerve-wracking Mario Kart race against his granddaughter, or the heartwarmingly public displays of affection between Scranton Joe and First Lady Dr. Jill.

As to the former story, Newsweek reports, “Despite not being at the same gaming level as his granddaughter, the commander-in-chief came out victorious.” As to the latter, Politico reports, “The first couple have been conspicuous in their frequent public displays of affection, from a fleeting kiss before boarding Marine One to a cozy morning stroll among oversized candy hearts on the White House North Lawn. … The romantic gestures between the Bidens — who [spent] Valentine’s Day weekend with family at Camp David — are representative not only of their resilient, 43-year marriage, but also of the new president’s self-proclaimed ‘tactile’ style of interpersonal communication.”

Got that? It’s not creepy molestation. It’s “tactile” communication.

These are compelling stories with significant geopolitical implications, of course, but for hard-hitting journalism and news-gathering excellence, one network recently left its brethren in the dust: “[Biden] has established a regular schedule, including coffee in the mornings with the first lady, meetings and phone calls from the Oval Office starting just after 9 a.m. and a return to his residence by 7 p.m.,” CNN reports. “As he walks home along the Colonnade, he’s often seen carrying a stack of binders or manila folders under one arm. He still brings a brown leather briefcase into the office.”

That’s brown leather, mind you. Not cognac, not cordovan, and certainly not black.

As CNN’s Kevin Liptak continues, “He has found his old stomping grounds familiar, dropping into his onetime office in the West Wing one day last week to show his new vice president the place on the window where his wife wrote him a Valentine’s Day greeting in 2009.”

As for the new first lady, it’s safe for all of us to swoon again. As Rick Moran reports, “She’s definitely not Michelle Obama — she doesn’t have the toned arm muscles — but Jill Biden’s politics and heart are in the right place, and the media is signaling it’s OK to love the first lady again. Melania Trump is a beautiful, gracious, smart, compassionate, accomplished person. But she was married to orange hair bad and that doomed her to ridicule, criticism and just plain meanness from the media. Mrs. Biden is a woman (a plus), a teacher (a plus-plus), and a Democrat (nailed it). And for the next 4 years, she will be a goddess without blemish. She will be held up as a role model for little girls. It’s making me physically ill.”

Us too, Rick. Us too.

And let’s not forget The Office of the President-in-Waiting. As The Hill reports, “Vice President Kamala Harris is the star of a viral video after being spotted jogging the stairs at the Lincoln Memorial as a Secret Service agent was seen trying to catch up with her. The video clip was posted to Twitter over the weekend and has since garnered more than 4.1 million views.”

We’re nearing half a million deaths due to the coronavirus, New York’s governor tried to cover up his state’s nursing home deaths, Biden plans to grant citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants, Democrats are about to beggar the nation with a blue-state bailout disguised as “COVID relief,” a killer cold spell is wracking the nation, the National Guard continues to patrol our nation’s capital, the vice president is taking calls with foreign leaders instead of the president, and our kids continue to be kept from the classroom by Democrats and their teachers union bosses.

But, hey, Joe and Jill are in love, and Kamala can jog up steps.
