Hell freezes over: Newspaper says Trump shares credit with Biden on vaccines – By Howard Kurtz (FOX News) / Mar 11 2021
‘Both administrations deserve credit, although neither wants to grant much to the other’
In political coverage, and especially on cable news, every issue seems to be polarized to the Nth degree.
Either you argue that Donald Trump did an incredible job and Joe Biden is doing a horrible job, or you insist the opposite is true. Taking a more nuanced position is often dismissed as being wishy-washy.
I have been saying for weeks that while President Biden is moving aggressively to ramp up the troubled vaccine program, President Trump deserves credit for creating Operation Warp Speed—and rarely gets any from the press.
Apparently, I was right, at least according to the New York Times.
Yep, the newspaper that spent four years investigating and often denigrating Trump has looked at the progress on vaccines and delivered, well, a fair and balanced report. The story yesterday by Sharon LaFraniere describes “a more mixed picture, one in which the new administration expanded and bulked up a vaccine production effort whose key elements were in place” when Biden took over from Trump. “Both administrations deserve credit, although neither wants to grant much to the other.”
