I work with some pretty heavy pro-Trump folks, and recently, the conversation about voting came up. They were very rudely and abbrasively asking everyone who they were voting for, and my quick response was, “Not the nearly 80 year old man.”
It was very cathartic after a full four years of hearing, “Bidens just too old to run!”

It’s because Trump gets to play by his own rules. The media is complicit in that. Everyone else gets held to the old standard, Trump gets held to “Trump being Trump”.

The mountain of coverage concerning Biden was based on fear that Biden couldn’t beat Trump. Fear of what would happen if Trump won again.
Pointing out Trump’s decline, on the other hand, is like an underline to the already myriad of reasons why most don’t want him to be POTUS again.
I read somewhere the double standard can best be described as comparing a clean shirt with one stain to a stained shirt with another stain. It’s easier to see the one stain on a clean shirt, but difficult to point out another stain on a heavily stained one.

Because the media is owned by billionaires, right wing assholes do not want ratings to drop, people watch Trump because he like driving by a car wreck, they just can’t look away. The orange demon gets ratings because half the country is dumb as hell

It’s less noticeable, because Trump was always a moron.

Democrats should be saying the same things tRump was claiming about Biden. Drug test him and independent cognitive testing.

There isn’t any because he and media (Wagner and NBC included) normalized that weirdness. Drmpf’s brand of nonsense drivel is now common knowledge and expected. When and if he ever makes sense that’s different and would be news.

The same Wagner that was just as complicit as every other MSM ignoring Trump and spinning it as “we will cut to him if he says anything important”?
Glad the media is finally coming around even though the rest of society has been about 6 years ahead of them.

The media has managed to cover it without covering it. It’s so bizarre! Like, we’re not talking about his mental decline, we’re talking about talking about his mental decline. Huh??

It’s important to let people just see for themselves and come to the inescapable conclusion themselves. If the media pushes the truth about trump’s skull full of pudding onto them, it let’s them use the ready excuse by squealing: “fAkE nEwS,” and continue to pretend that he’s lucid.

trump is in steep mental and physical decline. He is too old and too frail to lead.

His “changed” behavior in the past two years and the out in the open actions by Maga to suppress votes and subvert the election need to be on every news cast for the next 60 days.

I’m convinced the media WANTS Trump for their bottom line. Doing “news” with Trump is cheap and profitable. There’s no investigative journalism and lengthy FOIA work that takes time and costs money, he commits his crimes in the open.
All they have to do is keep a camera on him, have social media interns keep tabs on everything, and bring dumb fuck talking heads on hour after hour to argue.
Sure, people have their PREFERRED news entertainment outlet and personalities, but at the end of the day it’s all rage watching. Pissed at what Trump said? Tune in for validation from our blue leaning talking heads? Pisses about what Pelosi said? Tune in for our rage inducing red rage mouth pieces. In between and on the bottom we will cut/paste the latest social media bullshit to fill in the gaps.
Its the cheapest, most expensive profitable “news” the billionaire owned media conglomerates can gain market share on.
caveatlector73 on
The coverage is there, but you can’t just repeat the same old same old without a news hook. Although to be fair, Trump does provide those on the daily.
Journalists can quote a source verbatim or if what the source says is somewhat difficult to follow they can paraphrase for easier reading. They need to stop paraphrasing and quote him verbatim because that is the news.

MAGA does not care. Period. That’s why there’s no real “controversy” when Trump commits crimes. MAGA does not care. There is no bottom.

Because there is no distorsion campaign interested in drumming it up like they did for Biden.
There was a clear and present foreign effort to amplify negatives of Biden by multiple governments that admitted to it that was confirmed by multiple international organizations.
They actively used Reddit, and other forms of social media to do it.
There were 1000s of comments on Biden’s decline per thread in 1-2 hrs of posting. This thread has 80. Reddit was part of the problem and many people here were actively being manipulated without realizing it.

Trump’s actions played a large part in 1,000,000 Americans dying during COVID.
People like to pretend COVID happened to us, but Trump close the CDC pandemic prevention unit in 2018, and COVID showed up a year later.
It didn’t need to happen that way.
