ABC, CBS, and NBC broke in Wednesday night for President Biden’s farewell address and, while they were never in total awe like they were with Barack Obama, they still showed their stripes in cheering the “advocate for working people” giving “very personal” “speech for the history books” and delivering an “extraordinary” message about the decline of “fact-checking” and an “oligarchy...that literally threatens our entire democracy.”

CBS led the way with a full ten minutes of post-speech chit-chat. Outgoing CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell tried to lift up Biden’s line about “the seeds” of his so-called accomplishments having been “planted” for Americans to, in her words, “eventually feel them,” but senior White House and campaign correspondent O’Keefe had a brutal start in citing Biden’s poll numbers.
