The media has been “gushing” over their beloved Joe Biden amid the G7 summit – but the same newsrooms didn’t offer such “light and positive coverage” when it was Donald Trump, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
According to CNN, US President Joe Biden is “stepping onto the world stage for the first time as president – an equal to foreign leaders”. Yet when Donald Trump attended the G7, CNN reported it as “G6 versus one”. Mr Houghton said CNN portrayed Joe Biden’s attendance as “momentous” and was “trying to give the illusion that he doesn’t have any disputes” with any of the other national leaders. The Menzies Research Centre’s Nick Cater noted there are “considerable question marks” over Biden’s foreign affairs policy. “But it was the one area in fact in which Donald Trump did very well,” he said.
