Amid a pile-up of scandals and catastrophes caused by the Biden administration’s incompetence and destructive economic policies, the big three broadcast networks have done their best to shield Biden from any and all blame for the numerous calamities. Much to their chagrin, the public has appeared to notice who is to blame. According to two new polls, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are suffering from approval ratings that are at an all-time low. But much like almost all bad news for Biden and Harris, the three networks ignored this latest round of bad Biden polling.
While ignoring Biden & Harris’s poor public approval ratings, ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, & NBC Nightly News were preoccupied with superficial and uninteresting stories on their Thursday evening programs, like local weather reports (ABC & NBC), and a lengthy segment on a recall of eyedrops (CBS).
Fox News Channel’s Special Report had the story while the three networks were reporting on nonsense stories.
Reporting from the north lawn of the White House, Peter Doocy, Fox News’s White House correspondent announced that “as President Biden gets into campaign mode, his approval rating is nearing an all-time low, just 38 percent in a new AP survey. Hovering two points above last July's 36 percent bottom.”
Yet, as bad as Biden’s approvals are, Doocy noted Kamala Harris’s are “even worse, just 36 percent approving of the Vice President right now, with 53 percent disproving, according to Monmouth.”
“President Biden isn't in the race yet so his foil isn't a single Republican, but rather the House majority,” Doocy pointed out. He then aired a clip of Biden making juvenile attacks against congressional Republicans:
BIDEN: Last year I proposed and the Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act. Which no Republican voted for. Even the good ones. I don't mean good in moral sense, I mean the normal Republicans.
Doocy ended his report by revealing to Fox viewers that “the big diplomatic deal this week is China and Russia appearing to team up and so when President Biden pops up with Justin Trudeau tomorrow, we do expect a response to the China spycraft scare earlier this year. They are going to announce improvements to NORAD.”
This bias by omission from the three evening news broadcasts was made possible by Chase on ABC, Liberty Mutual on CBS, and Prevagen on NBC. Their information is linked.

6:22:15 p.m. EasternGILLIAN TURNER: President Biden has yet to announce an official re-election bid for 2024. But new polling indicates a decline in his approval. Today the President's top brass was out in full force defending his agenda. White House correspondent Peter Doocy has that story from the north lawn this evening. Hi, Peter.
PETER DOOCY: Good evening, Gillian. We just saw President Biden on the south side of the White House. He was leaving town for a trip to Canada and a meeting with Justin Trudeau. And this foreign trip comes as a string of wins for this White House dries up.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Making healthcare more affordable.
DOOCY: As President Biden gets into campaign mode.
BIDEN: Matter of fact, I like babies better than people.
DOOCY: His approval rating is nearing an all-time low, just 38 percent in a new AP survey. Hovering two points above last July's 36 percent bottom.
BIDEN: Kamala, I want to thank you for everything you've done.
DOOCY: Her approval even worse, just 36 percent approving of the Vice President right now with 53 percent disproving, according to Monmouth. Today the Biden cabinet fanned out to ease fears about the big problems affecting those polls like the health of the banking system.
JANET YELLEN (TREASURY SECRETARY): We have used important tools to act quickly to prevent contagion, and they are tools we could use again.
DOOCY: Chinese spying.
ANTONY BLINKEN (SECRETARY OF STATE): We told our Chinese counterparts the spy balloon flying over the United States was unacceptable and could not happen again.
DOOCY: And the response to a derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
PETE BUTTIGIEG (TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY): If this train did not meet the legal or technical definition of a high-hazard flammable train. What would?
DOOCY: President Biden isn't in the race yet so his foil isn't a single Republican, but rather the House majority.
BIDEN: Last year I proposed and the Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act. Which no Republican voted for. Even the good ones. I don't mean good in moral sense, I mean the normal Republicans.
DOOCY: And the President isn't just focusing on things past since he became President. Reminding people how excited he was as VP and Obamacare passed.
BIDEN: And I remember three words I used at the time. I thought it was a big deal.
DOOCY: The big diplomatic deal this week is China and Russia appearing to team up and so, when President Biden pops up with Justin Trudeau tomorrow, we do expect a response to the China spycraft scare earlier this year. They are going to announce improvements to NORAD. Gillian?
