“ The media’s restraint has been notable. As Will Sommer and Elahe Izadi reported in the Post on August 13, “So far, newsrooms have been reluctant to run with the material.” Instead of publishing the leaked documents, news organizations have focused on the hack itself and the potential implications of foreign interference.”
BUT rather than publish the leaks, like they did with Clinton, the MSM has decided to give Trump the gift of remaining silent.

AGAIN, the media played down his comments. As a result the race was declared “close”. Again the media failed us.
Even today, it is failing us. Are we reminded that because Trump didn’t take action in the early days of COVID that almost a million Americans died?
Nope.
History doesn’t exist. Trump was a good guy who apparently never really meant what he said. His actions were just jokes, not to be taken seriously.
And yet, it wasn’t funny. He is a criminal and the MSM avoids it.
The problem is that when it comes to Republicans the MSM doesn’t want to alienate. Of COURSE Republicans are normal, it’s the Democratics that are the “communists”.
Reduce inflation? Democrats are haters of business. More EV’s? What have they got against Big Oil? Save the Earth? God gave us this planet to destroy!
MSM is pro-Republican.
There is no liberal press.
One final annoyance: how often does the media complain about Trump being too old?
Before Biden stepped down, maybe 10 articles a day mentioned it. Now? Maybe 2 a week.
And Trump has had some MAJOR fuck ups. Elderly? Cognitive issues? The press remains mum.
The press is not on the side of America. They are playing favorites. They are not a neutral party.
More and more I see opinion being expressed as “news.”
At what point will we say STOP with the yellow journalism?
@feloneouscat What a bunch of slime balls, he doesn't deserve one bit of consideration 🤬
@feloneouscat 🤬 I wish they'd snap out of it !
It doesn’t take a brilliant mind to wonder if there is a double standard at play here, there is.
The media has ALWAYS treated Trump with kid gloves. In 2016 he was LITERALLY given hours and hours of free advertising where he was treated with softball questions.
While Clinton was grilled and treated as a Benedict Arnold, Trump was treated’s Grab Them By The Pussy was laughed off. The headlines vanished. It was unimportant.
In 2020, despite having a DISASTROUS first (and hopefully ONLY) term
