The media talked nonstop about how old Biden was, to the detriment of every other important topic, and literally doctored footage to make him look like he'd lost his marbles, so if you're saying the media is unfairly biased against Orange Julius here I'm going to have to call major bullshit.

Yeah... Because he was old and very clearly in an obviously sharp mental decline pretty much from the start of his term.
Just like Trump was the president with the lowest approval rating ever.
Both things can be true.
I was only talking about the rating though. The entire time Trump was in office I saw a news articles about his low ratings at least once a week if not more. Then Biden took office and the media bragged about his rating for the first little bit until they dropped off. Then they never mentioned it again. I pretty much forgot about presidential approval rating until Trump took office again and of course we immediately get articles about it again.
I am simply pointing out the hypocrisy is all.
