The media is blowing Biden’s documents ‘scandal’ out of proportion | Margaret Sullivan

The news media has greeted the supposed scandal of Biden's mishandling of classified documents with breathless glee

On Sunday morning, NBC's Chuck Todd hosted Ohio Republican congressman Jim Jordan on Meet the Press, where the querulous conservative ranted about President Biden's sloppy handing of classified documents.

Todd showed more tenacity than usual in challenging this combative guest (he incinerated" Jordan, applauded the Daily Kos) but Jordan nevertheless managed to drive home his ill-conceived accusations through sheer volume, repetition and speed.
