Mr. Arthur Sowers’ Opinion lacks objectivity (“Trump’s magic isn’t magic at all”). The Media Research Center acknowledged that the press coverage was 92% negative for President Donald Trump. Yet President Joe Biden has 59% approval coverage. Does this sound fair and unbiased to you?
Mr. Sowers quotes CNN and Fortune as research for his article. Do they cover President Trump fairly? Just in the past six months, ABC paid $16 million for its false statements. CBS paid another $15 million. Mr. Sowers never said a word when, during the Biden administration, inflation rose 22%. Biden also said he could do nothing about the border without more laws from Congress. President Biden put millions out of work with the cancellation of the Keystone oil pipeline and also mandated that people — police, military, hospital staff — either get COVID-19 shots or lose their jobs. He had gas prices in Delaware over $4 a gallon. President Biden then lowered gas prices by taking half of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and releasing it, but did he replenish the reserve? No words from Mr. Sowers on those items.
President Trump closed the border, with no new laws. He is bringing gas prices down, without using the reserve. He stopped the India-Pakistan war and addressed violence in Egypt-Ethiopia, Bosnia-Kosovo and Thailand-Cambodia. But does Mr. Sowers give acknowledgement on these issues? No.
In closing, it seems that Mr. Sowers’ research is flawed.
