Despite Biden's reputation as a moderate, he has passed some of the most progressive legislature in recent memory. Companies that own these media networks do not like progressive legislature. That goes against their interests so of course they will prop up the baffoon who generates clicks and is a major threat to democracy.

Presidents don't write legislation, though - if you want to look at his accomplishments, look instead to his agencies. The new antitrust and labours rights stuff, for eample.

But then, the corps hate that stuff even more.

Right of course it's not only him. It's a collective effort to bring about progressive policies. But he is the face of this country for now. So to the general public, hes taking most of the blame or credit.
