Media will go to any extent to justify the failings of Joe Biden. But the other side of this coin shows how media spins reality in order to attack Republicans.
Now, we’ve seen bias when it comes to media. But the Washington Post’s Jen Rubin exceeds bias and moves right into outright lunacy with this mad rant at Republicans.
She first falsely asserts that the Republican Party endorses violence. But then she gets to the meat of what she wants to say — that the media has to have “rules” for how they treat Republicans. Now, I will give you a “Jen Rubin” warning going in. You’ve been warned.

“You have to have new ground rules for the media,” Rubin whines. “They have to stop treating Republicans like normal politicians. They are not normal politicians … This is a party that spends its entire time cooking up ridiculous culture memes & fanning violence & coming up with outright lies.” Then the MSNBC host completely endorses the crazy idea, shaking her head ‘yes’ and telling Rubin she’s completely right.
Rubin doesn’t live in reality. It is even offensive to see Rubin include the suggestion that Republicans might defend parents being targeted by DOJ. The Biden Administration is just concerned about violence, Rubin claims, although the DOJ and Attorney General Merrick Garland can’t seem to present data supporting that there is violence justifying their intervention.
Rubin has been absent for several years as Democrats such as Rep. Maxine Wassers (D-CA), have encouraged violence towards Republican officials.
>Was she paying attention when Republicans were harassed and attacked because Democrats demonized them in the fight over healthcare, and the GOP baseball practice was shot up by a Bernie bro? Was she oblivious to the leftist radical attacks against our society that have been downplayed and defended by Democrats and the media over the last two years? Do you recall the DNC’s endorsement of BLM during their virtual convention in July, Kamala Hari and Biden staffers contributing funds to help victims of the rioting? Yes, let’s really talk about who is behind violence here.
Beyond that, when did you ever think that you’d have an alleged journalist wanting to come down in favor of restrictions on speech? And while she’s talking about “fascism,” does she get that imposing rules to limit the speech of the ruling party smacks a lot like creeping fascism? But she’s saying that quiet part out loud — the thing that media would like to do — not allow the dissident opponents to speak.
Is this how she believes Americans will perceive it? And it’s not just her take — it’s the MSNBC host completely agreeing with the idea. Are we willing to discuss who’s upending the norms in this instance? Media and Democrats would be unable to do a good job in this analysis.
