Right now the little bit of conservative media that I've heard seems to be harping on the border and China.
With the border, it's about the inevitable increase in border-crossings and apprehensions, especially of minors, after Trump's departure. Con-media says that this is because "Biden reversed all of Trump's policies", which isn't actually true; in fact Biden has changed very little aside from accepting and releasing some families with very young children pending their asylum hearings. Most individuals and families by far are still being sent back to Mexico within hours under the COVID protection policy . Con-media characterizes the increase in traffic as the Biden administration creating a humanitarian crisis after Trump had the border problem, as one commentator put it, "completely under control". They are very heavily pushing that "these people are bringing diseases and COVID", because, you know, COVID is a threat to national security. Not enough of one to justify mask-tyranny, though - don't go thinking that!
On China the message is a bit more mixed. Con-media expected Biden to have a reconciliatory approach toward China and so had primed itself to insinuate that Biden is a handled Chinese stooge. But the Biden administration has...actually been kind of antagonistic toward China? I mean to the point of the Chinese government actually making defensive press statements, which kind of ruins the story con-media had been building. Like, they're so invested in the daily anti-China coverage that they can't just stop doing it suddenly, but they also can't criticize Biden's state department for anything because their whole thing all along was that "the US should be calling the Chinese government out for the Uyghers and Hong Kong and this and that" and well that's exactly what State has done. It's created this weird situation where con-media clearly wants to go on a "how dare you take our advice" tear against Biden on China but can't figure out how to do it; they tried a few weak-kneed complaints that State's messages were recklessly provocative and could "start a war", but I guess that criticism didn't prove popular because it didn't go anywhere and has largely died out. It is fun, though, watching the nationalist, anti-global media in the US pretend to care about China persecuting and possibly genociding Muslims, and anti-mask, anti-vax COVID-hoaxers rattling on about how China needs to be "held accountable" for COVID escaping from a "Chinese virus-lab", even though it's "no worse than a mild flu".
