Brian Williams Blasts Media for Sugarcoating Biden, Calls for Honest Coverage of Trump 2.0

Former NBC News anchor Brian Williams called out journalists for their failure to address President Biden’s visible struggles, accusing them of using “lazy, numbing” language that ignored reality. Speaking to The Washington Post, Williams highlighted the irony of Biden, who campaigned to save democracy, staying “too long at the fair” and contributing to the Democratic Party’s 2024 collapse.

Williams urged the press to “cover this second Trump administration without fear or favor,” while former CNN host Don Lemon called for a focus on Trump’s actions over his words. Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson emphasized fair reporting, including when policies deserve credit. The critique underscores the need for stronger, more accountable journalism.
