Who told the media to use that word? Every single media outlet is calling the speech, "Fiery."

It reminds me of when Sharyl Atkinson's story about Clinton and Obama speeches, where the campaign officials would only agree to give out copies of speeches early if they would call the speech "Muscular"

AKA, the polite way to say senile angry old man.

Trumps play by play rebuttal was definitely covfefe!

If you notice, they all say the same thing because that's what their told to push. Now it's "fiery". It's all to make sure the masses think the same way. And this isn't anything new, but if you try to pay attention to it (not you specifically, but in general), you'll notice it quite easily.
They don't even bother using a thesaurus.

So this means the CEO's are being told what they can push, and they relate it to the "journalists".
The question is, who's controlling the CEO's. Well that's where the money is, who owns the networks? Who is at the very tippity top on the money chain? There is your answer.

just go to google news and type in Fiery.  Every news organization called it that.  Come on! that has nothing to do with a definition. They are writing what they are told to write.

In my opinion Biden is way more agitated than Trump ever was with the media and Trump did a hundred times more press conferences and taking questions.

They were using 'feisty' the first night right after the speech.

They probably realized the average mouth breather in the Biden camp didn't know what that means, so they changed it to 'fiery'. :harhar:

People are just not buying what the media are trying to sell anymore.

QuoteIt is a bit jarring to observe the divide between what the legacy press, Democrats, and cable news hosts observed when they watched President Joe Biden's State of the Union address last Thursday, and how persuadable voters of both Republican and Democratic leanings reacted.

On the day after the speech, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Biden gave "his best speech of his presidency by far. ... Strongest speech, and, most importantly, for people that were thinking, 'Oh, he's too old. He's too that, man' ... he gave a lot more than he got."

CNN's Stephen Collinson wrote that Biden "projected vigor and forcefulness" and "was a trenchant master of the chamber of the House of Representatives, effectively wielding the theatrics of the presidency and commanding an hour of unfiltered primetime television."

However, in sitting with several voters whose presidential choices have been all over the place for the past 20 years, with some of them jumping from George W. Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden, the president's comportment did not come off as strength.

Instead, many of them felt they were being yelled at.

Intellectually, they all understood why Biden needed to project vigor. They also all agreed that vigor and yelling are not the same thing.

QuoteBut polling done by ABC News after the speech showed 29% said that he had done better than they expected, 12% said it was worse than expected, and 24% said it was exactly what they expected.

A HarrisX/Forbes overnight poll released Tuesday, five days after the address, showed that the speech did indeed land flat with voters with a whopping 61% of them saying his performance was inadequate. Fifty-nine percent said it served to divide the country further.

https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-approval-rating-sotu-address-2024-1878673

QuotePresident Joe Biden's average approval rating is currently at its lowest of his entire time in office despite a positive reaction to his recent State of the Union address.

Biden's approval rating currently stands at 37.4 percent, the lowest since he recorded an average of 37.6 percent in December 2023, according to poll aggregator FiveThirtyEight's national average calculations.

Biden's disapproval rating is at 56.5 percent, giving the president a net disapproval score of 19.2 points—both of which are record markers of disapproval for the president.
