It's nice to see Biden and Obama on a stage together again.

Why does the picture make you hate the media more?

WaPo's headline: "Biden defends democracy in speech in France, drawing contrast with Trump."Why does the picture make you hate the media more?
Not the picture, the headline - which you misquoted.
In a version earlier, this was the headline:
At least the Washington Post had the decency to keep politics at bay in the original headline - until the 2nd paragraph.
Why is the story about Normandy in the "Politics" section?
While Biden did not mention Trump by name in his speech, it was not lost on listeners that many of his warnings about the dangers of authoritarian and isolationist impulses dovetail with his campaign’s central case against the former president. Biden, who has said in the past that America’s very democracy is at stake in the coming election, has sought to use the setting of D-Day’s 80th anniversary to sound the alarm about the advance of anti-democratic forces across the globe, as well as at home.
What listeners? The ones in the Washington Post's Rolodex?
And, of course, Gaza.
And the president’s message about defending human rights and freedom in Europe has been complicated by his staunch support for Israel amid a growing humanitarian catastrophe resulting from relentless Israeli onslaught in Gaza.
"Gaza" and "democracy" don't belong in the same sentence.
"Relentless Israeli onslaught." Yeah, that belongs in a story about Normandy.
The word "Trump" appears more than 20 times - in a story about Normandy.
I guess WaPo gotta WaPo.

The only beach this draft-deferred asthmatic football player lifeguard stormed is the one by his multimillion dollar house (where classified documents are kept in the bedroom, upstairs).

Have they checked his Trans Am for documents yet?
