The media/intel community also pushed the likely bogus Russian/Taliban US troop bounty story really hard last year. But now all of the sudden they have had a moment of clarity:

Probably all just a coincidence though....

I honestly don't know, but I am wondering how much credit for this (and many other things, like various machinations the Economy) can really be given to any president, or if it isn't the product of long-term, behind-the-curtain developments.

I think the presidents dont matter, the decisions are really being made by bureaucrats in the government agencies and lobbyist who influence them.

The sitting president tends to get recognition for things happening now, regardless of whether or not they had anything to do with it. Likewise, if the economy crashed tomorrow, Biden would get the blame.

> ...but the bias is hard to miss.
I think the major supporters of Trump are the working class white people with "Type B" personalities. The audience of this site is the opposite of that mostly, white or non-white. Hence the bias i guess.
Most of the comments are off topic from the point of the article, but this is an interesting question. Trump initiated the process, yet the media presents this as a Biden achievement. I dont care about politics at all, but the bias is hard to miss.
