Pew Research Center asked people about the U.S. news media's coverage of the Trump admin. A whopping 62% of Democrats and Dem-leaners said the media have not been critical enough, while 24% said mostly fair and 12% said too critical.

Makes sense now why the media treated Trump will h kid gloves because Trump bringing viewers and money and they goes for (most) those liberal talk show hosts who went on and on about Biden’s age for example but nothing about Trump.
👆🏼 Here's why that stat matters IMHO: Just as Fox News and other outlets super-serve Americans who believe the media is too tough on Trump, a constellation of digital outlets are cropping up to reach those who believe the rest of the media is too weak.
I flip over to MSNBC and I hear 'Trump's Liberation Day' and I know I'm deep into the propaganda slop that even MSNBC is touting and then I turn it off. Meidas Touch and The President's Daily Brief for actual news and only the first minute of Meidas cause the rest is blah blah.
I don't know maybe it has something to do with the sane washing, the false equivalencies, the inability to label a lie a lie, the flattening language, the quoting crazy, the failure to cover the absolute batshit insanity that was Trump's campaign rallies...you need more?
