For the first time since former President Bill Clinton was in office, Democrats are under media scrutiny, and it’s breaking them.

Americans have known for years that regime media acts as the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. Every story and narrative is carefully crafted to ensure they look like a rose while painting Republicans as angry, out-of-touch fascists. However, since the debate, the regime has been turning on President Biden and his administration for the first time in recent memory, and it’s obvious they are unprepared to handle adversarial media.

Journalists were waiting on Monday as First Lady Jill Biden exited Tampa’s Kahwa Coffee to ask her a pretty straightforward question about House Democrats’ demand that Biden drop out and let another Democrat take his place.

“Dr. Biden, do you have any message to House Democrats who are calling for your husband to drop out of the race? How are you feeling about the state of the race,” they asked.

“Why are you screaming at me? You know me. Don’t scream at me, just let me talk,” she responded.

Their questions were hardly combative. They didn’t even include insults about Biden’s declining cognitive issues. Still, the First Lady seemed shocked that they would be asking her about the top narrative circulating the news cycle as if that’s not what they are allowed to do to a Democrat.

Biden’s White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, also faced pushback in the briefing room Monday on Biden’s supposed meetings with a top Parkinson’s doctor, which, of course, ended with her claiming to be the victim.

“I do want to — I just want to take a step back for a second because I do take offense to what Ed alluded to. You know, come out here every day there’s a press briefing. And we do our best to give you the information that we have at the time. … That is what is important — to have that healthy back-and-forth, and so, to say that I’m holding information or allude to anything else is not unfair — is really, really unfair,” she said. ”

“I think people who are watching and have been watching this briefing for this past week could say that we are doing our best in this briefing to provide by the information that we have. And I will admit — I will be the first one to admit sometimes, I get it wrong. I at least I admit that. At least, I admit that. And sometimes, I don’t have the information, and I will always, always admit that, but I do take offense to what was just happening at the beginning of this briefing. It’s not okay,” she added.

“IT’S NOT OKAY!” What a laughable situation they’ve found themselves in. Not once in former President Trump’s campaign or presidency did he have the media give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact, it’s not their place to do that. A journalist’s job is to call powerful people out on issues that stray from the American people. And having a man with obvious severe mental health issues is a pretty important narrative that they should be asking about. (Presidential Debate Was The First Step In A Coup Against Joe Biden)

Trump faced far worse than journalists who were “just doing their jobs.” He was forced to fight adversaries in the regime media and establishment politicians to do the work the American people hired him to do. Trump was handicapped every step of the way. The Bidens, on the other hand, were granted immunity from hard questions. Everything he and his administration did to destroy this country went unchecked by the people tasked to hold him accountable.

The debate changed this for him. The elites writing checks want him out. So now the regime, like the good NPC followers they are, has turned on this administration. The result is causing the walls they’ve built up to crumble around them. They can’t even handle the smallest amount of pushback because they’ve never experienced it before.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
