"Defeats, inaction and compromise drag Biden’s poll numbers down"/"'Frustration is at an all-time high': Behind Biden’s falling poll numbers."
There's an interesting difference between the front page teaser — "Defeats, inaction and compromise drag Biden’s poll numbers down" — and the headline that appears at the article — "'Frustration is at an all-time high': Behind Biden’s falling poll numbers" — in The Washington Post.
The first is an active declarative sentence. You've got 3 things (defeats, inaction and compromise) doing something (dragging Biden's poll numbers down). The second is vague and imprecise. On the one hand you've got "frustration" — whatever that refers to — and we'll just put that over there on the one side of a colon. On the other side, you've got Biden's falling poll numbers, and they're just falling for whatever reason. You'll have to read the article.
We see a photograph of a black man in a hoodie and a wool beanie, and he's looking sad. The caption says he's the founder of the Black Male Voter Project. His name is W. Mondale Robinson. I'm just going to guess the W is for Walter.
The "frustration" quote comes from him. He also says: "Black men are pissed off about the nothingness that has happened." Which is a great quote. They're not just pissed that nothing has happened. They're pissed about the nothingness that has happened. And he says: "They can’t call me and ask me to serve my brothers up on a platter for their benefit."
You wouldn't know from the headlines — either of them — but this article is about how black people — black men — don't like Biden. I wonder why the headline writer muffled that. Democrats are obviously aware of how much they need black voters, so why not shout out the alarm?
Is it another pathetic effort to protect Biden? The highest-rated comment over there suggests that is indeed what WaPo readers want:
It's only been 7 months good lord. The prior occupant disappointed the whole blasted country from the moment he came down the escalator. WAPO wants the GOP in office so bad because President Biden ain't giving the clicks they need. Lol 😆. Stop with the negative headlines everyday WAPO it's getting quite annoying. This is not journalism, there are millions of stories about how the stimulus helped people or that the infrastructure bill would help an area or city. The country don't want to see the fall of democracy. Do better
"Stop with the negative headlines" = this article was too anti-Biden! WaPo stands accused of an active desire to promote the Republican Party!
