Howard Kurtz: Media showing 'absolute double standard' with Biden coverage

Kurtz says the mainstream media has failed to demand access to the former vice president

The mainstream media's "absolute double standard" has been exposed in coverage of presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over the months since the coronavirus pandemic gripped the nation, "Media Buzz" host Howard Kurtz asserted Wednesday.

Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Trace Gallagher, Kurtz said that while it was good the former vice president held a news conference on Tuesday, he hadn't taken any questions from his press corps in a month.

"He did five interviews in June compared to 21 interviews for President Trump. And, the media – [who] usually are demanding access: ‘we have to hold these candidatesaccountable' – basically did stories saying, ‘Well, the Biden basement strategy is working because he’s going up in the polls’ rather than demanding access," he pointed out.

That said, polls have been tilting in Biden's favor ever since he made the decision to "stay at home" in his basement.

  2. The media has been showing "absolute double standard" every since the President was elected. We are used to it at this point. That is not the only "double standard" that goes on in Washington. The lying, cheating, thieving Democrats get away with murder in Washington under the double standard that the law doesn't apply to them. Only to Republicans.
