A stunning report by Axios revealed Monday that President Joe Biden frequently screams and curses at his staff in a fit of rage when he's not given the answers he requests in meetings. Despite breathlessly reporting on false rumors and innuendo about then-president Donald Trump for four years, all three evening news broadcasts ignored this story because it would make Biden look bad.
It surely wasn't for lack of time in the newscasts since all three evening news shows ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News had plenty of time for superficial and irrelevant stories like the Mega Millions Jackpot (ABC), pop star Madonna breaking her silence after being hospitalized (CBS), and Harry Styles getting hit by an object during a concert (NBC).
The Axios report starts off by revealing "Biden has such a quick-trigger temper that some aides try to avoid meeting alone with him. Some take a colleague, almost as a shield against a solo blast."
According to Axios who spoke to current and former Biden staffers, the geriatric President's outbursts include phrases like "God dammit, how the f**k don't you know this?!," "Don't f**king bullsh*t me!" & "Get the f**k out of here!"
While these revelations are shocking, they aren't completely out of character for Biden. As the piece notes, in January 2022, Biden was caught on a hot mic and called Fox News' Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch" when he was asked if the 40-year-high inflation his policies caused would be a political liability for his party.
Jeff Connaughton, a former Biden campaign and Senate staffer once told about how Biden lost it on a 23 year old fundraising staff member: "'Okay, senator, time to do some fundraising calls' the aide said. Biden responded by looking at him and snapping: 'Get the f**k out of the car.'"
This bias by omission from the three networks was made possible by Chase on ABC, Fisher Investments on CBS, and Progressive on NBC. Their information is linked.
