US midterms latest: Is Biden's popularity a problem for the Democrats?
The US midterms are on Tuesday, with the Democrats at risk of losing the House and Senate - if they do it could have major implications for abortion law and the US Capitol Riots inquiry. Observers are also looking at how Donald Trump-endorsed candidates do ahead of his potential 2024 run.
Experienced journalists must have known from the beginning that Biden was not even close to being a suitable candidate for the US presidency. Yet there has to be a mainstream pretence that his performance has merely been mildly disappointing.
As ever, it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that biased misinformation is the default mainstream perspective. Anything else would be remarkably unusual - as remarkable as Biden making a success of the US presidency.

Fortunately it seems that some of the 'dependable' media are now 'fact checking' Biden's claims. Perhaps a sign that the wind has changed?
My best guess is that the Republicans will gain control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate... in which case the Democrats will be running scared that the Republicans will settle some scores. The only problem I can see is that the Republicans will have so many opportunities they might dilute their attention.
It was the media's treatment of Trump which led me to understand that the MSM are not just occasionally biased, but rotten to the core.
DJ - the Republicans don't seem to be as coordinated as the Democrats, as if many of them are there for the ride rather than anything more constructive. Wary of the media too perhaps.
Sam - yes, rotten to the core. No interest in objectivity, but presumably that reflects their target audience too.
