While I agree with the cable news "commentators" that the Biden "documents situation looks bad",

[Atticus]

I must ask them:

How many times have you told your audience that TRUMP'S theft and defiant detention of hundreds of classified documents "looks bad"?

How many times in one broadcast hour have you said that McCarthy's spineless prostitution in order to get a swell office "looks bad?

When was it in the past seven years that you publicly admitted that Trump receiving over 1% of the vote in ANY election "looks bad"?

What motivates this sudden overwhelming concern about how things "look"?

1. It doesn't actually look that bad ...

based on what we know right now. For it to look bad for Biden, we’d have to find out that he had knowledge of the classified documents and personally directed the manner of their storage. There’s no evidence Biden did that, although there is plenty of evidence that’s exactly what Trump did.

[Atticus]

2. Exactly, but I just OD'ed on the faux anguish of Andrea Mitchell about how "this just looks bad". n

4. I really don't care what Ms. Greenspan thinks.

[halfulglas]

14. I thought she announced she is finally retiring. Did she lie?

She's still around on a daily basis. That just looks bad.

Truth. She's run out of any goodwill she had for media woman achievement.

23. Don't producers, exec's at MSNBC ever watch her?

It is just plain painful watching her try to formulate a coherent sentence, regardless of what anybodies opinion of her politics is. They ought to put her out to pasture and allow her some semblance of dignity in her old age, whether she wants to or not, for her own good. The old girl just is not firing on all cylinders now, and it is painfully apparent to anybody that watches her for 5 minutes.

[ananda]

16. Agree.

The media is just making it out to be.

[uponit7771]

17. Right?!?! This is slightly above the brown suite conspiracy

[SheltieLover]

3. Joe is also not a ruskie asset!

HUGE difference!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

5. I've heard television presenters, reporters, and commentators denounce Trump's

actions around the improper taking and keeping classified documents countless times.

Which is right and proper.

[rubbersole]

6. Tuckems said so.

So it is so.
Too bad Rushbo isn't here to clear the air. In their heads.

[SWBTATTReg]

7. It does not look bad at all, when you put the two situations side by side, tRUMP, had 34

boxes of materials that the govt asked him to repeatedly return for almost two years! Biden, had two or three folders worth' of documents (compared to 34 boxes!). There's no comparison. I refused to participate in these gotcha narratives by commentators, and nor should we.

[Atticus]

8. By agreeing that Joe's situation "looks bad" I did not mean by comparison; only that it should not

have happened.

SOMEONE apparently was careless in dealing with a few pages of classified material. That is regrettable because it can be exaggerated far beyond any reasonable facts.

There is no comparison to what Trump intentionally did and continues to do.

[brooklynite]

9. I don't recall the media giving Trump a pass on his stolen documents...

As I recall it was in all the newspapers...

[Atticus]

10. I don't recall that either. That's why I didn't say it. nt

[Cha]

11. The hyena heads want it to "look Bad"..

I call Bullshit.

[chowder66]

12. IMO It looks disorganized at worst.

[Warpy]

13. The blow dried frauds are so into "bothsiderism" that

they really need to compare the two cases, loudly and frequently, and maybe John Q. Moron will start to get it.

TV "journalists" are not doing their jobs, at all.

[Lonestarblue]

15. This morning's Washington Post had six articles at the top of its digital edition page about

Biden’s documents problems, including one hinting that it could jeopardize his future. The media is doing their best to portray this as a huge scandal. Commenters on some of the articles have gone off the deep end about why Biden took the documents, as if he did it deliberately.

[malthaussen]

19. It would seem that procedures need to be tightened.

The flow of classified documents is supposed to ensure that everything is accounted for and nothing goes missing. It obviously didn't work that way with Mr Trump, and it appears to have not worked that way with Mr Biden, suggesting that the people who are responsible for monitoring these things need to step up their game.
The question of why these documents are only being found now, years after Mr Biden was VP, is also a significant one. That's a lot of years to be missing.

20. Just remember

President Biden has stated that the Secret Service has been uncovered as having several right wingers. Could this be a plan to implement enough false evidence to try to impeach President Biden. Think about it the mango moron claimed that the classified documents were planted. Mike Pence didn't trust his own Secret Service detail on January 6th. Just my opinion.

[Quanto Magnus]

21. They are trying super hard for....

both side are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iluvtennis]

22. + agree with you about the media blowing this out of proportion. I turn the channel every time

they bring it up - ENUF.

A special counsel has been assigned. Let him/his staff do their work and wait for them to report out.
