Joe Biden and the press: he's still our man

April Ryan Pins Attention for Biden’s Phony War Story on Trump’s ‘Climate of Lies’
"CNN analyst April Ryan on Thursday came to the defense of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden after the Washington Post said a war story of his was false in nearly every detail."   Watch how Host Jim Sciutto tees up the subject for Ryan:



"Biden completely makes things up? “Gaffe.” Anything Trump says they don’t like? "Lie.' ” Weasel Zippers

Joe Biden told moving military story at campaign stop – but it 'never happened,' report says
"Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign has been dogged by gaffes -- but a new error could be his most damaging yet." . . .
“He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven’t seen any change,” Dr. Neal Kassell said, according to Politico. Kassell previously treated Biden for brain aneurysms and has monitored him for brain damage since his surgeries.
RedState: "At least he didn’t claim to be dodging sniper fire like a certain past Democrat nominee, so he has that going for him."
. . . "Fox News delivers the details of this latest episode. It starts with Biden recounting that he flew into Afghanistan, through the teeth of danger, to honor a Navy Captain. The problem is that basically none of what he says is true." . . .

Overnight Open Thread: Mark Steyn Cracks Up Tucker Carlson On Joe Biden

 Joe Biden is always walter Mitty. The heroic captain, the inscrutable spy, the brilliant surgeon in the O R, the valiant pilot on the bombing raid--wherever he is, the fantasies are BIG.

Joe Biden unapologetic after reportedly mistelling military story  . . . "No one has accused Biden of lying or exploiting military sacrifice. For Democratic voters, the question may be is this a sign that more than Biden's memory is at fault or just that his facts are wrong but his passion is right."

A sympathetic press helps: Biden still polls on top

Biden on Detention Facilities: ‘We Don’t Need Them’  . . . "In May, images of migrant children sleeping on detention facility floors went viral on Twitter as viewers assumed the photos were recent and a result of  President Trump’s policies. The images were taken in 2014 during the Obama administration. Obama officials said the photos only depicted detained children that arrived in the U.S. unaccompanied by an adult. Criticism of the Trump administration's detention facilities continued, and in June, he signed an executive order to end family separation in detention facilities." . . .
