Your vote is worth the same value as any other citizen Carl, never forget that.
Name someone without a bias, that’s how opinions are developed, in your opinion mine is an ugly bias inferring yours is a handsome bias interesting thought pattern
From 1949 until 1987, all US broadcasters operated under the "Fairness Doctrine" which required them to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was honest, equitable, and balanced.
The rise of partisan broadcasting such as Fox News and the resulting polarisation of society and the "culture wars" stem directly from the decision to get rid of the Fairness Doctrine.

Well, pardon me. I guess your bias towards Americans is the "pretty" kind of bigotry. My mistake.

And getting back to the original OP that biden speech scare you. The fact that he hasn't had a solo press conference for more than 53 days is a worry. Either he doesn't feel confident to explain what he's doing or his health is that bad he's not up to it.
However I respect that the people have voted and they will now have him until the next election. Will he be an ineffectual leader, I don't know and time will tell but if he doesn't get up on the podium soon even his minders are going to get worried.
In the main I agree, however FDR hid polio from the public with help from his staff. Not that Biden is half of FDR. Not that I agree with many of the things FDR did. At least for his first term and most if not all the second FDR had command of his mind. It seems obvious that by the third term FDR was in failing health and tired. My point being that those around Biden must be aware of his condition and will help conceal it.

The polarisation in the news media is extremely troubling , on both ends of the spectrum . It's even made it's way into Canadian broadcasting , both sides screaming at each other and neither listening to the vast " middle ". Speaking for myself , I have voted for all major parties here at one time or another , I have certain beliefs that would be taken by some as Socialist , others would seem quite Conservative . Unfortunately , there aren't any parties that reflect those beliefs , and I'm not alone . Ricky Gervais summed it up in one of his interviews on PC correctness not long ago . He pointed out that he's pro choice , supports LGBTQ rights and believes in a secular society , but if he mentions free speech , he'll get a thousand Tweets calling him a Nazi , our current political environment reflects this . In an increasingly intolerant world , people will be forced to pick a side , history is full of examples of this . The most recent , and costly , occurred when the Wiemar republic failed . Democracy failed , blame can be laid at the feet of all involved . Their choice came down to Fascism or National Socialism , hopefully we have enough wisdom and empathy left in us to stop it from happening again .

You’re excused but my point remains the same Communism and Socialism are seen as one and the same by the majority of US voters. Compared to most of Europe you don’t have any mainstream “ Left Wing” parties, the choice is between the very right wing or at the other extreme the right of centre as we would describe it over here
So the election when Trump was elected, there was No crooked Votes for Trump ? All the crooked Votes go to the Democrats.
I do not know the truth Biden to me does not look to be a great President, but he is not a Professional Man child who just whines and whines and sets himself up a The Victim whenever he looses ,Which of course he Did Not according to Him
Who’s Biden

Joe Biden rescinds the shoulder injury compensation during a covid vaccination.
I can understand the reason why it was put in to speed up vaccination rates. Not sure taking it out was a better idea.

Biden’s HHS to Rescind Trump-Era Vaccine Injury Payment Rule
The HHS plans to rescind a Trump-era rule that stops people who suffer shoulder injuries or faint after vaccination from getting compensated.
You remember that. Unfortunately Biden doesn't most of the time.
The Americans just had the choice of some extremely left-wing candidates. To call Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and fellow travellers "right of centre" by European standards is a stretch. Even a Biden administration (and who thinks he can really go on for the full term when he can't manage the basic dutues from the start?) has some pretty lefty aspects.
The difference between Communism and Socialism is not wide. Maybe Americans pay more attention to the words used e.g. NSozialisticheDAP and USSocialistR.
