Remember back during the summer when Biden got those American hostages freed from Russia, including a WSJ reporter? The WSJ went to surprising lengths to avoid even mentioning Biden or showing him a single iota of gratitude (as far as they're concerned, all the credit should have gone to the State Department, which in their world has zero connection to the White House)... I think one of the top editors FINALLY gave Biden a little bit of credit more than a week later, and that's only because everyone on Twitter was calling his ass out.
