Hey, Media: You Might Want to Mention Biden's 'Minor Incursion' Gaffe

[See NewsBusters for full story.] Now that Russia has officially invaded Ukraine, and even the White House is using that term, it’s time for responsible media outlets to ask serious questions whether Joe Biden's “minor incursion” gaffe emboldened Russia and Vladimir Putin. During a rare press conference on January 19, 2022, the President blundered with this quote: “I think what you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we have to fight about what to do and not do.” But in the wake of the invasion,  the morning and evening newscasts on Tuesday and morning shows on Wednesday buried the disastrous remark.
