BBC News: Reports in its 7.27pm post on the funeral of Jimmy Carter.
Lets Get Real:
The funeral of Jimmy Carter celebrated his whole life, from peanut farmer, Governor of Georgia to President of the United States, and his decades of work for Democracy to charity work building houses. Quite respectfull, but would Carter give up all the post Presidential work for a 2nd term and to be treated better by historians and history. That is an interesting question.
Guardian: Reports on how former US hostages held for 444 days praise former President Carter for his handling of the Crisis.
Lets Get Real:
One understands the need to show respect for a DEAD US President, but let's get real, Carter was a failed one term President, the Iranian hostages held for 444 days, the failed rescue attempt, the invasion of Afghanistan by the then USSR. The bad economy, inflation, being nice does not cut it, let's deal with the real world, Reagan was a great President, Carter was deeply flawed and out of his depth, always see the real world reader.
USAToday: Reports that President Biden thinks he could have beaten President -Elect Trump in November.
Lets Get Real:
The White House staff either did not show him the polls or POTUS is delusional, not sure on this subject what is worse, staff that deceived POTUS or that Biden is out to lunch while still President! Whatever you might say about Trump, and a lot has been said, he has more energy than Biden, at least Trump has only four years, well really two years with the coming Mid Terms in 2026, and the Democrats taking the House again, Impeachment again!! Then the Candidates for 2028, if we avoid WW3.

Lets Get Real:
I wonder if the press will be so nice to Trump when his day comes, it comes to all humans. IT was said that politicians came to Nixon's funeral to make sure he was DEAD, they still feared Nixon. President Clinton stated that Nixon should be remembered for more that one thing, WATERGATE, the same thing could be said about Clinton and his affair with an intern, that happened a few years after Nixon died. At lest Americans can do ceremony.
Sky News: Reports that President - Elect Trump said at a presser with the with the press at 5.10pm that he saved NATO with his ďemands that Europe increase Defence spending.
Lets Get Real:
Welcome to the madness that is a Trump press event and another 4 years! IF YOU took seriously what Trump said you would go bonkers, from Panama to Greenland, he has made threats, you have to be very selective what you report, it is true that Europe has increased Defence spending, but Trump has been following the trend of previous US Presidents, even Obama. The US media should know when Trump is serious!! That goes for the rest of press across the world.
