Peter Baker, today in the New York Times:
No other sitting president has ever lived with the shadow of his defeated predecessor in quite the way that Mr. Biden has over the last year and a half. Regardless of what the current president does, he often finds himself struggling to break through the all-consuming circus that keeps Mr. Trump in the public eye. Even the bully pulpit of the White House has proved no match for the Trump reality show.
Oh, please. The media (you, Peter Baker) gives the former guy all the oxygen needed to overshadow everything, not just Biden. Breathlessly chasing chaos and not covering the Biden accomplishments with the same fervor. It may amuse them, entertain them, even enrich them. But it’s harmful to the truth necessary for a functioning democracy. You are complicit, Peter Baker. And you can’t even see it.
