I've been following politics for multiple decades now, especially closely throughout the entire 21st century. My consistent position that whole time has been that Joe Biden (whether he was a U.S. Senator of Vice President of the United States) comes across as smarmy and belligerent.
So when asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy if he felt the current out of control inflation would be a political liability for the upcoming midterms, now President Biden gave an answer which didn't surprise me in the least.

Look, I agree with the general sentiment from leftists and media types alike that those who were silent on then President Donald Trump's open hostility towards the media don't have any credibility to decry Biden's remarks. But the exact opposite is also true. There were plenty of leftists as well as members of the media who clutched their pearls and ran for their fainting couches during the Trump era, many uttering a variation of how chilling it was for a sitting President to undermine a fabric of our democracy. But suddenly those concerns have dissipated when it's their guy in the White House.

In the end, every single solitary journalist can and should take a page outta Doocy's book in how to handle such barbs.
