USA Today Interviews Biden: Master Class in Subservience

In 2017, Saturday Night Live marked the end of the Obama administration with a maudlin musical number more befitting the Dear Leader of a communist hinterland than the democratically elected president of a constitutional republic.

Last week, USA Today managed somehow to embarrass itself even more with its “exit interview” of President Joe Biden, a floundering, pointless exercise in awestruck subservience. From lobbing slow-motion, underhanded softballs of no public interest to failing to seek clarification for unintelligible tirades to ignoring or allowing falsehoods and blatant political spin, the interview serves less as a public service and more as a reminder of why USA Today no longer holds the distinction of being the most circulated paper in the United States.
