Most of the "confusion" is related to details that any of us would have considered to be insignificant at the time they occurred and not really something we would necessarily be able to recall. Now, there were some instances that were, quite frankly, unusual. The thing everyone seems to do, though, is not understand the circumstances and context of the situation. I am someone to give the benefit of the doubt in most scenarios. All of that being said, though, I don't know why we would think that we would get anything different from an old guy in office. Trump and Biden both show their age at times and at others seem to shine.
Now, the reason for all that in the report is about making their case. So, they laid out their findings as well as their rationale for further action. They were highlighting the likelihood of reasonable doubt to be introduced based on this and for that reason they did not feel it was appropriate to bring charges. Federal prosecutors are notoriously cautious in their filings and if they don't think they can win they aren't going to file. So the conversations about all of that was highlighting the reasonable doubt that would prevent them from successfully bringing charges.
Is this really a "conservative" media thing though?
Multiple left leaning news outlets have been calling the special counsel report a disaster for Biden. They even double down on this negative reporting by calling his speech in response to the report a disaster.
This isn't a conservative media vs liberal media story when both parties are saying the same thing. Rather than come out and say something like "Conservative media howls about special scounsel report, but it's really nothing to worry about", which the media is known to do when fighting it's opposition, the liberal media has been instead calling this a "political nightmare" or "disaster" while also calling out the memory and mental problems he has exhiiited while being Preseident. In other wiords, the liberal media hasn't been making things better for BIden in response to the report. Instead they are sounding the alarm.
If anything, iit alsmost looks like the liberal media is looking for someone else to beat Trump.
