Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Wednesday praised Biden's "great" inaugural address, going as far as to deem it the best he's ever watched in his life.
"I thought it was a great speech," Wallace said. "I've been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961 John F. Kennedy, 'ask not.' I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard."
I listened to the speech. I can't for the life of me understand how any truly objective news anchor could call that a "great" inaugural address.
Biden said a lot of good things and spoke of unity, but also made some incredibly hypocritical statements. For example:
"And so today at this time in this place, let's start afresh, all of us. Let's begin to listen to one another again. Hear one another see one another, show respect to one another. Politics doesn't have to be a raging fire, destroying everything in its path. Every disagreement doesn't have to be a cause for total war. And we must reject the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured."Any objective reporter would at least point out the irony of that statement. I'm driving along, and all I can think is: "How can this guy just wash over the last 4 years of raging fire and not even mention Democrats' part in it. How can he make a statement about facts being manipulated and even manufactured, and expect Conservatives to take him seriously?"
I would accept a reporter saying "Good speech - but..." Any other conclusion is dishonest and disingenuous - just like Biden's speech was.
