Unfortunately, Friday’s CBS Mornings followed the lead of ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today in forgoing actual critiques of President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address on Thursday. Instead, it heaped praise on the “fiery” and “fired up” Biden going “on the offensive” and proved he “has the energy, the fire in the belly to serve another four years”.

Co-host Tony Dokoupil opened the State of the Union coverage by stating Biden “appeared pretty fired up as went on the offensive on big issues like Roe v. Wade and the border and the economy” and, to his credit, noted the (pro-Hamas) “protesters” who blocked D.C. streets ahead of Biden’s speech to demand “a ceasefire in Gaza.”
