Everyone piles on after Associated Press tries to invent phony Joe Biden scandal

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

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:

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.
