Whats the Scoop on the Mainstream Medias Affinity for President Bidens Ice Cream Choices?
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream  especially if youre the mainstream media and the ice cream is President Biden's. Over the Independence Day weekend, Biden traveled to Michigan to visit a local cherry farm near the Traverse City National Cherry Festival. While this might seem quite random, its not completely out of presidential character, as both Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford have attended the festival before. Reportedly, Biden utilized his visit to speak to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) about a bipartisan infrastructure plan, health care, and education. There were no speeches given on this trip, but Biden did speak with a handful of cherry farmers and other constituents one-on-one. But, the cherry on top of his visit was when he popped into a local ice cream parlor and munched on some (presumably) delicious vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips in a waffle cone. Right on cue, the mainstream media and liberal lawmakers began fawning over the presidents ice cream selection. President Joe Biden ended his trip to Michigan with a trip to a local ice cream spot. He ordered vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips in a waffle cone  and made sure to get two scoops. pic.twitter.com/ZmzdBouj46  CBS News (@CBSNews) July 4, 2021  Rounded out our day at @MoomersIceCream! Of course @POTUS wanted to stop for ice cream. (And so did I ??) pic.twitter.com/yn4XxXe5kZ  Sen. Debbie Stabenow (@SenStabenow) July 3, 2021  Joe Biden and ice cream. Enough said. https://t.co/bFMJyLjIcR  Senator Gary Peters (@SenGaryPeters) July 3, 2021  Surprisingly, CNN did not make a national headline dedicated to Biden's ice cream shop stop, which author Nick Adams half-jokingly pointed out. I'd like point out that Joe Biden ordered two scoops of ice cream today and CNN didn't make a headline out of it.  Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA) June 29, 2021  During his domestic trips, Biden is known to make impromptu stops at local ice cream parlors. And each time, the mainstream media is known to make a big deal out of it. Take last week, for example. Biden visited Wisconsin days before his Michigan trip with a similar agenda  to discuss infrastructure. Fittingly, he topped off his visit to the Dairy State with some delicious ice cream. At the ice cream shop, someone suggested the president order a rocky road as a nod to advancing infrastructure. He didnt. The media and local Democratic officials still swooned over it. Biden, making an impromptu stop for ice cream after his speech, received a suggestion to order the rocky road flavor as a nod to the infrastructure bill. He quipped, Its been a rocky road, but were going to get it done' and instead ordered cookies and cream and strawberry, the Associated Press reported. @POTUS @JoeBiden made one of this patented stops for ice cream today in Wisconsin.

The medias response to this one was one for the books. Dating back to his days as Vice President, ice cream has become every bit as synonymous with Joe Biden as his signature aviator sunglasses, Clevelands WKYC reported.According to a White House pool report, the United States' 46th President ordered chocolate, chocolate chip and butter pecan and told the employees to keep the change on his order, which included 50 units of ice cream for the staff.  President Biden is having a chocolate chip ice cream at Honey Hut Ice Cream in Cleveland and its possibly the most Biden thing ever  Hugo Lowell (@hugolowell) May 27, 2021  These are the flavors available at Honey Hut Ice Cream, where Biden is making an unscheduled stop. And now I'm craving a couple scoops of sea salt caramel. pic.twitter.com/7rp36iEXOt  Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) May 27, 2021  The Washington Post even posted a whole video for it. It goes without saying that ice cream is on Bidens itinerary when he travels. But with a predictable routine in place, it doesn't really constitute major news coverage unless youre covering it at the local level. There are outlets that have covered Bidens ice cream shop whereabouts for years. And dont forget, former President Trump got vilified for reportedly being served two scoops of ice cream with dessert, as Dave Rubin pointed out.
