Everyone and their uncle when they get Covid gets covered in the media, but when Biden gets it today its a non story on the BBC and MSN, only my ABC australia covered it in another story about the antiviral drugs

??? I think you need to read more carefully...

It's basically been covered everywhere:

Biden tests positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms - CNNPolitics

BBC:

US President Joe Biden 'doing great' after testing positive for Covid

Guardian:

Joe Biden tests positive for Covid and has ‘mild symptoms’, White House says

MSN:

President Biden, 79, has Covid - here's what we know so far

We heard about it here in Hong Kong.
I think our gentle poster is trying to
concoct some sort of (shudder) hypocrisy.

Well I woke up 6 hrs after the story hit and saw a vague reference on the Australian news and was blown away to see no mention of it on the BBC or MSN

"Wake up" would be good advice to follow. The story has been all over CNN at least since yesterday. Furthermore, putting "Biden COVID" into your search engine easily demonstrates that the story has been widely disseminated.

Stop spreading obvious nonsense.

I have seen the Biden and Covid story on virtually every news station I have watched.... also all over the various news sources on the web

I recall a very different reaction from this forum when America’s previous President was diagnosed with COVID:

Trump and Melania have Covid

I wish President Biden a swift recovery. No man belongs on his knees, much less the President of the United States. May he find the strength and recover.

you're the one spreading nonsense, 6 hrs after the story broke there was no mention of it on MSN and it was no longer a headline on BBC, that's just a fact, do you have problems with facts that don't fit your preconceptions?

I googled "Biden" in Arabic today, and the first page of results was chock-full of news articles about his COVID infection both on Arab and Western outlets.

BBC, being a foreign source, might
not care much about Biden's sniffles.
Perhaps you need new sources...

MSN now has two stories about Biden's Covid but when I looked about 5m Thursday there was nothing and I looked carefully, I found BBC story under USA/Canada, but it was not in the headlines which are BBC for USA, not UK, and post very much USA news unless you click on the UK section, People in the UK see an entirely different headline page from US viewers
