Milbank says that left-wing media has actually been "tough" on Biden when many would have believed them to give the Democratic President positive coverage.
Milbank explained to the CNN host that unlike Trump having right-wing media outlets provide loyal positive coverage, Biden allegedly doesn't have the same luxury from left-wing publications.
According to the columnist, he came to his conclusion after allegedly analyzing a plethora of media outlets ranging from Breitbart News to CNN and their negative coverage of Biden compared to their negative coverage of Trump.
