After weeks of scrutiny about what Biden officials have said, are conspiracy minded people now remembering that the press is always critical?

Good point.  I am now seeing lots more "fact checks" on what Biden has said.  Thus far, though, the fact checks only list where Biden misquoted some data.  There are none where he has purposely lied.

The majority of the press have not been critical of what Biden has been saying, they have been excusing it, downplaying it, if they even admit it happened.
