O’Donnell: News Media Turns on Biden’s Use of ‘Garbage’ into Controversy By ‘Refusing to Listen,’ ‘Understand Grammar’
EXCERPT:
O’DONNELL: “The poisonous American candidate for president who uses Hitler’s language constantly and calls Democrats garbage, that was not news. But the very same news media that ignored all the times Donald Trump has called American citizens and American voters scum and garbage actually tried to turn Joe Biden’s use of the word garbage into a controversial news story today. To do so, they had to refuse to listen to the actual sentence Joe Biden spoke. They had to refuse to look at the written words of that sentence. They had to refuse to understand English grammar. They had to refuse to understand what a singular possessive is. They had to refuse to understand what ''s' means. They had to refuse to remember what they learned in elementary school about the English language. And they can do that because this campaign is being covered by some of the best reporters I have ever seen and by some of the worst reporters I have ever seen. And the worst of them actually cried to create a controversy today and tried to equate what President Biden said last night to what the man he was condemning said in Madison Square Garden. And those reporters know that it's false, but it is the kind of false narrative that panicked, stupid campaign coverage exists to amplify.”
