However:this finding will not be surprising to anyone who watches a lot of Fox, where Biden is regularly contrasted unfavorably with Putin https://t.co/MTD99jMgPZ

“The image of President Biden that our, and even American, media present has nothing to do with reality,” Putin said in response to a Russian senator’s question if the U.S. president was suffering from what she called “dementia.”“Biden’s a professional, you have to be very attentive with him so as not to miss anything. He doesn’t let anything get by, I assure you,” Putin, 68, said in televised comments.Russian media have been questioning the 78-year-old U.S. president’s mental capacity at least since he agreed with an interviewer in March that Putin is a “killer.” During coverage of the summit in Switzerland, the country’s main 24-hour news channel repeatedly observed that while Putin spoke from memory, Biden had note cards.“We all do that,” Putin said Thursday in his colleague’s defense.
And, as always, punch down, never sideways:
Despite the warm words for Biden, Putin showed his sharp elbows with a dig at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. She’s been a target of official Russian scorn since she was the State Department’s spokeswoman in 2014 at the start of the Ukraine conflict.“His press secretary is a young, educated, beautiful woman who’s always mixing things up,” Putin said. Biden, on the other hand, is “collected, knows what he wants to achieve and does it adroitly,” Putin said.
My admiration for Biden, and Ms. Psaki, grows.
