President Biden and his administration are in desperate need of a “reset.”

One year into a disastrous tenure, Team Biden is begging its media buddies for the world’s largest mulligan. There’s a problem with that — listening to the news media helped get Team Biden in trouble in the first place.

Journalists promoted far-left policies on every major front, but three issues were key: supporting “defund the police,” advocating COVID-19 restrictions and spinning economic news.

Now anti-Biden sentiment is laughably strong. CNN anchor John King had to deliver the “tough number” of reality. “Only four in 10 Americans, 41% at the moment, approve of his job performance. Nearly six in 10 — 58% — disapprove,” he told viewers.

Look at crime and punishment. Journalists sang, “F- -k tha Police,” like an ’80s cover band.

The media denied “defund the police” was even a reality, despite politicians and activists admitting it was. The Associated Press pretended in June 2020 that “defund the police” isn’t “necessarily about gutting police department budgets.”

Yet the networks were filled with angry activists making that demand. NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie admitted it: “Defund the police? The controversial idea gaining momentum across the country, the City Council in Minneapolis voting to dismantle its entire department.”

Networks criticized Donald Trump for defending police. And ABC anchor and career Democrat George Stephanopoulos urged then-Sen. Kamala Harris to “support proposals like what we’ve seen in Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti saying take some of the money from policing.”

In July 2020, CNN ran with this headline: “Crime is surging in US cities. Some say defunding the police will actually make it fall.” A few weeks later, the Web site FiveThirtyEight said the surge wasn’t real. “Many Americans Are Convinced Crime Is Rising In The US. They’re Wrong.”

Yet rioters did billions of dollars in damage, looted and burned businesses, violently attacked police and killed roughly two dozen people in what the press repeatedly termed “mostly peaceful” protests.

CNN produced the worst chyron of all time: “FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING.” No wonder the White House doesn’t take crime seriously.

The press did the same with COVID-19. It downplayed or warned of the vaccines created during the Trump administration and blamed Trump for every death. When Biden took over, the death shaming went away.

CNN initially promoted its COVID tracker, placing it prominently on the site’s front page. It’s on the health page now, even though the United States is averaging more than 2,400 deaths a day the last seven days under Biden.

A New York Times headline described the pandemic fight in education as “Republicans Pounce on Schools as a Wedge Issue to Unite the Party.” Even declaring the Wuhan biolab as the likely origin for the virus brought condemnation. USA Today ran a fact-check headline claiming we don’t know the origin, but it wasn’t the lab. “Fact check: Coronavirus not man-made or engineered but its origin remains unclear.” That now appears incorrect.

PolitiFact (D-Lies) flagged a video as “false” that “says Joe Biden and Kamala Harris distrusted COVID-19 vaccines.” Except that’s exactly what they did. The quotations in the video are all accurate, but the video was fact-checked as “missing context.” That’s code for making the left look bad.

Journalists covered for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president. He has been on both sides of wearing masks, claiming initially that “people should not be walking around with masks.” Then he reversed course. And there’s the herd-immunity lie. The Times reported that he was moving the “goal posts” — from “60 to 70% of the population” to “quietly shifting that number upward.”

Economic coverage followed the same script. Thanks to the lack of news coverage, nearly two out of five Biden voters didn’t know some fantastic news: The five pre-election jobs reports from June 5 to Oct. 2 showed a record 11,161,000 jobs were created.

Good news on median household income was also ignored. And growth numbers that came out just before the election were stunning — 33.1% growth. CNBC called it the “fastest growth ever.” Morning news shows barely reported it.

The press set the narrative on crime, COVID-19 and the economy in ways almost guaranteed to confuse policymakers.

No wonder Biden needs a reset. Maybe he’ll pick one that takes him away from listening to the media.
