In a widely panned "analysis" piece, a CNN White House reporter defended and even praised President Joe Biden Wednesday for finding an admittedly legally dubious way to extend a federal eviction moratorium. The moratorium expired on July 31, so the White House engineered what Collinson called "a classic Washington fudge -- not unfamiliar in an era of Capitol Hill gridlock -- in which presidents, especially Democrats, have improvised with executive power to shield constituencies from consequences of a malfunctioning political system." Critics lit into CNN for Collinson's piece that seemingly excused Biden breaking the law because he agreed with the end result. "I don't think the tone here would be so restrained" if the piece had been about Trump, author Daniel Darling tweeted. Another "analysis" praised Biden's "moderate radicalism" ahead of his April address to Congress.
