As David Kurtz says, Republicans are now trying to create a faux controversy over bumbling remarks made by Biden -- and the mainstream media is doing its usual shameful services to Republicans, giving legs to their faux outrage and treating it as meaningful and reality-based.
Kurtz writes,

William Lindsey :toad:
"The fact that this manufactured outrage and the race to cover it comes five days after Trump called America a 'garbage can for the world' makes the whole thing beyond absurd."
Kurtz concludes that the journalists who continue to play this tired old game which exposes their intellectual (and I'd say, moral) emptiness may be the real garbage in this story.
William Lindsey :toad:
"This dance is so predictable, rehearsed, and tired that everyone has their roles to play and feels compelled to play them despite how intellectually and journalistically bereft the whole exercise has become."
William Lindsey :toad:
"I’ve grown weary of explaining how these kinds of journalistic set pieces require suspending good, independent news judgment; rely on old, hackneyed journalistic tropes; and traffic in erroneous assumptions about Republicans (and journalists themselves) representing the 'real America.'"
