President Joe Biden enjoyed fawning media coverage after his election victory a year ago over then-President Donald Trump. But the news media honeymoon is over, judging from magazine covers.
The butt-kissing started in earnest last December with Time magazine naming Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as Persons of the Year, even before they took office. Magazine covers that followed portrayed Biden as a tough foreign negotiator and all-around cool guy.
But after the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, worsening border crisis, budget-busting Build Back Better agenda and unpopular Covid vaccine mandates, his fans in the media have turned on him.
You only need to look at the recent covers of Newsweek, The Economist and New York magazine.
But those Biden covers are respectful compared with President Trump’s magazine covers.
