Everyone piles on after Associated Press tries to invent phony Joe Biden scandal
The thing about President Joe Biden is that he’s essentially scandal-free. That’s a problem for the mainstream media, because scandals and controversy drive ratings. So some major news outlets have begun trying to invent phony Biden scandals, and let’s just say that it’s not going well for them.
For instance the Associated Press thought it could invent a scandal about the fact that Joe Biden has traveled to Delaware on three different weekends since he took office. This is supposed to be a scandal because… there’s a pandemic? We’re not even sure. This is laughable, considering how Trump spent most of his weekends at his various properties, and the AP never gave it this much attention.
No one was impressed with the nonsensical AP article, and on Twitter it ended up getting far more negative replies than likes:
President Joe Biden has spent three of the eight weekends since his inauguration in his home state of Delaware. The White House defends those visits at a time when the administration is urging the public to avoid unnecessary travel. https://t.co/nCD9ORPlun

The AP tried to “both sides” it by finally acknowledging in the seventeenth paragraph of its article that Donald Trump traveled far more often (and at far greater taxpayer cost). But every news outlet knows that almost no one reads all the way to the seventeenth paragraph.
