[See NewsBusters for more.] The mission statement of ABC News, and other media outlets, appears to be this: It’s our job to protect you from reality. The Biden administration is crumbling under the weight of record high gas prices and inflation and now what’s seen as an ineffectual response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Here’s the last five polls of Biden’s approval rating: 38, 39, 40, 38, 37. Only one of these polls has been covered by the network morning and evening newscasts over the week and that one was produced by ABC News. On Monday’s Good Morning America, Mary Bruce allowed a scant 10 seconds to the ABC News/Washington Post survey finding the President at his lowest point ever: “The big picture, the President is going into this speech in a very difficult position. Our latest poll shows he has just a 37 percent approval rating. That's the lowest point of his presidency.”
