Apparently, it is not only Fox and other right wing media are the problem, but even NYT and WaPo drive the narrative of "our country is doomed because Biden is old and and democratic party is bad at everything".

Yes, this an example of how completely asymmetric and propaganda led our entire Media ecosystem has become. If all the same facts were in place but Trump was in the White House, Fox News and other conservative media outlets would be shouting loudly 24x7 about how amazing his policies are and how well they are working. Republicans would be saying the border is the most secure it has ever been. Other media would either not be reporting on it at all or just noting people seem to be happy. Plug in the economy, foreign policy or anything else and it’s the same scenario playing out.

The media in the US has been systematically taken over by Right wing conglomerates. They find fascism acceptable.
