Quote:A Thursday Rasmussen poll indicates a majority of likely voters disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance.

The poll reveals only 49 percent of “Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Biden’s job performance,” while 50 percent disapprove.

The respondents also “include 28% who Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove.”

Biden’s drop in approval rating coincides with the White House pushing “disinformation,” blaming Republicans for the anti-police movement, while Democrat-ruled cites have defunded police.

On Thursday, White House spokesman Andrew Bates told NBC News, “The president, with the backing of leading law enforcement groups, secured the money that his predecessor opposed — to keep cops on the beat — and every single Republican member of Congress voted against it.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed on June 23 something similar.

“That was voted into law by Democrats just a couple of months ago. Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police; I’ll let others say that, but that’s a piece,” she said.

And senior adviser to President Joe Biden, Cedric Richmond, also stated June 27 on Fox News that “the truth is, they [Republicans] defunded the police”:

Let’s talk about who defunded the police. When we were in Congress last year trying to pass … an emergency relief plan for cities that were cash-strapped and laying off police and firefighters, it was the Republicans who objected to it. And in fact, they didn’t get funding until the American Rescue Plan, which, our plan allowed state and local governments to replenish their police departments and do the other things that are needed. So look, Republicans are very good at staying on talking points of who says ‘defund the police,’ but the truth is, they defunded the police.

But the Washington Post called the White House’s claims Wednesday incorrect.

“Although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything,” WaPo wrote. “Voting against a one-time infusion of cash is not the same as voting to cut funding, so there is little basis to claim that Republicans are trying to ‘defund the police.’”

The lying Bolshevik Media can only prop-up this disaster so long.

Sound Bite Journalism:

“In the context of journalism, a sound bite is characterized by a short phrase or sentence that captures the essence of what the speaker was trying to say, and is used to summarize information and entice the reader or viewer. The term was coined by the U.S. media in the 1970s.”

Both parties have taken advantage of this for decades. It was quite effective when the media actually did its job, held all politicians accountable while reporting the news without a slant toward either party.

That all changed when Barack Obama spoke at the 2004 DNC.

As our current President described him, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy“

The mainstream media hitched its wagon to the Democrats then and the rest as they say is history.

When the media stops openly supporting our president you’ll know the fix is on. When the sound bites turn negative on our president, it’s over for him.

Are you ready for President Harris?

I think I'm more concerned that 49% of people think he's doing a swell job.

That wagon was very firmly hitched long before then. They were just more subtle about it.

I didn't know slow Joe was actually performing a job.

I was about to say...how can Joe Basement get any votes when he's like that animal in the zoo exhibit that won't come out for view?
