But Remember all the coverage that the NY Times gave to TFG's mafia connections in 2016? Neither do I.

(26,640 posts)on the trump/document story and got this comment:
The 2-year frenzy over emails
was ultimately nothing. Call it sexism, Republican depravity, ratings-hungry media, its time we acknowledge it was bullshit & write that into the history books.
The NYT chose not to print that comment.. why did they even ask if they won't print the comment?

(4,427 posts)Articles about things he cannot control are on the front page every day. ALL of them say this is very bad for Biden in one way or another, implying that somehow these things are his fault, or should be his fault.
The media is great at creating self-fulfilling prophecies.

(70,547 posts)These memes are being spread:
She slept her way to the top.
She has never really done anything.
She was unfair to African Americans by putting them in jail. (she was A.G. of the state of CA and a D.A. too)
She was a poor student.

(3,233 posts)Presidents have always gotten to bask in the praise when good things happen, even if the good things aren't their doing. The flipside of that coin is that when bad things happen, the President catches the blame, even if it's not their fault and there's nothing that can really be done about it. To the voters, it happened on the President's watch so they're responsible for it, good or bad.
'Twas ever thus. Voters are fickle like that and always have been.

(5,641 posts)All of it is run by corporate oligarchs.
They have no interest in giving people real information.
It is ALL designed to confuse and obfuscate the truth to keep the MASSES at each others throats, rather than pointing the ire of the people where it belongs, THE RICH and POWERFUL.
And that is real news.

(17,313 posts)if it was about one of his pathetic rallies, but we're talking about a federal offence. It should be a much bigger deal and the public opinion should be more informed. Too many times Trump crosses the line and people shrug because he's a repeat offender in so many ways. It has to catch up with him as some point, or it makes a travesty of justice.

(42,770 posts)of his crimes -- his biggest sin to me was that it was proven he lied and withheld info about covid He purposely withheld PPE. People got sick and some died because of him. Not a single front cover story that I saw. No censure. No nothing. Once no one said anything about this I completely gave up on trying to figure out why on any of his misdeeds.
And gave up trying to figure out why the House would spend all this time in committee investigating something and then not fully PRing the results.

(50,454 posts)The M$M is bought and paid for by those who want to exaggerate the wrongdoings of those whose political platform endangers the greed of the richest Americans; and downplay the wrongdoings of those who work the system on their behalf (i.e. tRump).
There is no unbiased M$M, it's all varying levels of propaganda.
