Our final Biden-era Liberal Media Scream finds CBS News kissing up to President Joe Biden to the end, brushing aside all the polls and its own reporting to declare he was effective.
“In many ways,” CBS chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes said, “he did deliver.”
The media have resisted reporting on Biden’s mental and physical failings over his four unpopular years in office. And even on his last weekend in office, outlets such as CBS went out of their way to prop up a president who polls as one of America’s worst.

From CBS News Sunday Morning:
NANCY CORDES: “In many ways, he did deliver. His administration oversaw the successful rollout of the COVID vaccines. The stock market steadily rose to record highs, while unemployment fell to a near-record low. Overseas, he expanded NATO, strengthened alliances in Asia with the goal of containing China, and cobbled together lasting support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: The duty of a president is to defend what is best about America.
CORDES: He did so while racking up major legislative victories, including massive new investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing.
BIDEN: I believe, to my core, there isn’t a single thing this country cannot do when we put our mind to it.
CORDES: And he scored a win that eluded his predecessors: signing a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “Going down with the ship, CBS and Cordes are still trying to convince people that despite the rejection of his presidency and his policies by the voters, Joe Biden really was a great president who delivered laudable accomplishments. The media and Biden do share at least one thing in common: In the eyes of much of the public, they are both losers.”
Rating: Four out of five screams.
