Good points, well made, Caren - as usual. I caught sight of a British tabloid headline implying Biden had not been able to string two words together. I had watched the press conference, and assume that they had written their piece in advance and without bothering to watch. Indeed, I doubt they'd have changed it if they had watched. Their sole aim (along with Fox et al) is to make money by pandering to the prejudices of their target audience. One of the worst legacies of the Trump administration is bringing 'Facts don't matter' so much into the mainstream. I look with envy at how things changed in New Zealand when the Murdoch press was kicked out.
