    The left leaning news leaves out what they don't want you know

    Liberals scoffed that everyone trips sometimes, claiming Biden's fall is not news but It contrasted with breathless coverage of Trump's ginger steps at West Point and Biden's was not just a one stumble!

    "Nothing to see here: How most of the left-leaning US media totally ignored Biden's Air Force One stumble - while the foreign press did their job for them

    Major U.S. press outlets largely avoided mention of Biden tripping repeatedly

    As of Friday afternoon, the homepages of MSNBC, CBS News, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and New York Times had no mention of Biden's stumbles

    Foreign outlets appeared far more interested, devoting prominent coverage
    US outlets including Drudge Report, TMZ and Fox News broke domestic blackout

    It contrasted with breathless coverage of Trump's ginger steps at West Point

    US conservatives accused the press of a double standard favoring Biden"

    I suggest that the real issue to consider is whether someone tripping is a newsworthy event. If the person is "important" and is injured and therefore cannot function in his or her job, then that might be newsworthy. Otherwise it is just an attempt to fill empty space in the paper or empty airtime and to create "news" out of nothing. That's not journalism; its fiction writing.

      Gerald Ford was razzed constantly over his stumbles, it became a running gag on Saturday Night Live.

        Newsworthy enough that a White House spoke person attributed his rolling around on the stairs as the result of high winds in the area. At least the high winds didn't disturb his hair. Certainly nothing fictitious about what was recorded.
