Well, they blame HIM for the obstacles and crises that he did not create without mentioning any accomplishments!!! They paint him as befuddled and upset, accuse him of poor management, and try to convey that the only actions he takes in the face of obstacles and crises are to criticize and shuffle staff. They even manage to blame him for Uvalde because he has not gotten gun control through Congress while Republican deserve the entire blame and are not even mentioned!

There's not a word about Biden's accomplishments, vicious Republican obstructionism, Supreme Court undermining, SEDITION in plain view from many citizens and even elected officials, a return to morality and lawfulness after four years on the road to fascism. The people with their names on this insidious smearpiece should not call themselves reporters or journalists.
Here are some of President Biden's accomplishments:
