For months, it’s been stunning to see the media abrogate its responsibility when it comes to covering Donald Trump. Compared to its coverage of both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the corporate legacy media has held Trump to an entirely different standard—which is to say no standard at all.
Instead, they have cast the election as a typical political horserace, normalizing and sane-washing Trump, rather than calling him out for his incessant lies and the fascist threat to democracy he represents.
In tomorrow’s piece, writer
will explore this phenomenon and then take a look at some recent examples of the media actually doing its job. While this is a welcome shift, with less than four weeks until Election Day, is it too little too late?And in case you missed it yesterday,
dug into the early mail-in vote in Pennsylvania and Michigan and found some reasons for optimism for the Harris campaign. Read it below.
Not just sane washing his gibberish, but they're just now barely starting to mention his, obvious to everyone else, "diminished mental capacity". He can't stay on topic, he can't complete a sentence, he can't pronounce words or names. I'm beginning to think that he can't even read a whole sentence, which is why he can't use a teleprompter for its intended use.
By abrogating its responsibility the MSM, by perhaps causing Trump to “rule” over a fascistic state in which our freedoms, even freedom of the press, will be a thing of the past.What do they see when they collectively look at themselves in the mirror? Narcissistic wimps, I fear.
