    All of them? Are you seriously trying to tell me that the NYT or MSNBC US politics page are in any pro Trump? These outlets stopped being neutral and both siding things since the 2016 election.

      You seriously going to claim the coverage of Biden’s mental acuity and Trump’s have been in any way whatsoever even-handed? Fucking seriously?? MSM drives narratives, and when a dem has any slip whatsoever it’s front page for days, whereas Trump spews insane nonsense daily and is clearly not mentally fit, but there is none of the bulldog-like insistence by the MSM to question his fitness for office, despite so, sooo much more evidence showing his complete lack of it.

        Yes, there is. The big media outlets have been harping about how Trump has been a deranged moron for a decade now. Seriously, what alternate reality do you live in? The media has actually relatively positive of Biden. Them covering his mental decline is an exception, not the rule.

          Oy, OK, alternate realities for sure, fucking amazing. Well, I live in the one where the fascist lunatic was sanewashed so thoroughly that he was able to be reelected, even after a fucking coup attempt after his first term. Biden got hounded for days after a bad debate performance, Trump can then be equally or more insane (THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS!!) and… Meh, MSM moves on. No (D) would have survived saying any one of hundreds of crazy things he has said. Period.

      I caught a few minutes of MSNBC’s coverage of Trump’s military parade. They sounded like they had guns to their heads, trying to pretend like it was fun and normal.

        This is a reflection on the support bases of each party, not the media.

        The American left is notorious for purity testing, gatekeeping, and infighting. They will criticize each other and be outright nasty to each other over everything. The more left you move, the more true this is. For whatever reason, the American left deems anything that doesn’t 100% align with their views to be either right wing, frauds, or traitors. Because of this, Democratic politicians have to walk around eggshells and try to appear perfect in order to try and appease everybody to secure votes.

        The American right doesn’t have this issue. They don’t give a shit about anything. They don’t care if you’re senile, a felon, corrupt, unqualified, a grifter, a former Democrat, or full of shit. As long as you tell them Democrats are bad, this country is the best ever and its under attack, and that conservatism can fix it all, they will love you and adopt you no questions asked.
