In the wake of Trump supposedly "voiding" Biden pardons, I'm re-upping my recent newsletter asking why major media won't address Trump's mental unfitness. They had no problem going there with Biden, who was simply old, not deranged.

Trump will be shuttering their windows and doors & throwing the editors into the street and even then their first independent article written on their Iphones will be about how Dems allow Trump to do it.
They spent all last year trying to tell us how bad Bidens health was, every time trump talked about being in a different century, city, state or mumbled like a moron..
It’s worse I’m afraid. The Biden is mentally unfit trope wasn’t an organic thought created by the media. It was a Trump talking point since 2020 that was uncritically parroted by the media until it became true. They’re not just hypocritical, they’re complicit
It, like, I suspect, the claim that the 2020 election was stolen and ridiculous behavior surrounding that, was designed to make it seem silly to levy the same accusation at Trump. It’s preemptive projection. I. E. Trump has dementia let’s call him “Dementia Joe” so no one calls him Dementia Don.
They know some Democrats will have qualms about those accusations for fear of being ableist and will even fight among themselves over it, Republicans have no such scruples.
I feel like it’s a manipulation targeted at *us*
Because A.) we don’t want to behave “like them in 2021”
And because B.) Moderates would hear that accusation and think that the Dems just needed original content, making them less likely to believe it.
I used to date someone who accused me of cheating on them every time I was 5 minutes later than usual coming home from work. Turns out they were cheating on me while I was at work. Same idea lol
The media is dead. It died in 2015. What I’m seeing now is these grifters claiming to be democrats acting like the Biden/Harris admin never happened. The op to push AOC, who couldn’t win the senate seat. I’m over the media. This is worse imho. The op is obvious and coordinated.
Yup. If you mean that basic cognitive function does not preclude you from being a grifting, gaslighting, megalomaniac authoritarian a-hole! And clearly does not preclude him from running a total shit-show 🤦♂️
maybe just because the right-wing media machine is that much more shamelessly partisan and powerful. Fox News is entirely willing to push this type of stuff but I don't think there's anything as popular on the left that would be willing to start spreading the equivalent for Trump.
and of course the online space has the least responsible voices and dems have a big problem with not having nearly as much influence in that segment of the media.
Deranged?
I'm beginning to believe that it's more like: EVIL.
I'm beginning to believe that he and musk are bent on actually starting a civil war in this country in which they firmly believe the meek and weak lefties will cave at the first sign of blood.
I do, I have 3 part threads (on Threads)quoting mental health professionals .
My point was that THAT was the media's reporting, with 'Biden's old' thru a megaphone every day and 'Trump's deranged' at a whisper occasionally.
There were Biden's awkward pauses, but this is different. Trump knows he cannot undo a pardon. This is a ploy to start criminal investigations of the people Biden pardoned, force them to rack up hefty legal fees defending themselves, and bankrupt them.
For the same reason they made him great in the first place. Media loves sentation (viewers and listeners = money) and he is bringing it to them for free every day.
The news industry has a lot of other business concerns to tend to in their corporate conglomerates that might be threated by practicing actual journalism.
My better-paid colleagues are likely ordered not to discuss it. At the top, there is a sensitivity that once was not there. Too many people are scared of those who allegedly wield power. They think nothing of spitting their opinions in a "news" story, but can't criticize the Glorious Supreme Leader.

There, I wrote the headline for them
Because A.) we don’t want to behave “like them in 2021”

PS. The “why” is their billionaire leash holders have their own agenda. There. Now go fight Nazis.

They’ve paid big bucks for access to the felon and they got it . . . as long as they don’t tell the truth.

Trumps chaos makes them money. Until that stops they will never turn against him.

Many other ass kissers & complicit folks who want those tax cuts!
Biden was a vibrant guy as recently as his time as VP. It's easy to see his decline, but Trump has been bonkers since Day One.
It's not an excuse for the media to ignore it. Trump is and always was unfit.
“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office."
And Trump's own VP in years past:
As Jimmy Kimmel said after the election, it was a bad night for Harris voters. It was a bad night for Trump voters too. They just don't know it yet.
Just like they failed to give Biden a fair shake during the elections
Gotta say this takes away my hope of this nation coming to grips with the fact their government has been stolen; ie reality.
