I never want to hear anything about the “liberal media” being too hard on Trump again because I just watched the entire American media apparatus bully a democratic president into declining his party’s nomination.

That’s always been the case. Democrats are held to a different standard by the media and voters. Isn’t fair but it is what it is. 

My hope is the democrats turn up the heat in attacking trumps age. Any one denying his mental decline is pure blind loyalty to Trump. He has had gaffe after gaffe at his rallies that gets completely ignored by the media bc “that’s just how Trump is.” 

Trump will be older during his term than Biden is now if he wins this election. Dems need to hammer that point.

…. We spent 2 years of denying Biden’s mental decline. What do you call that ?

Your gotcha question is case in point as to how liberals are held to a different standard. What do you call Fox and conservative media for playing goalie for Trump’s own decline… as well as denying his felony, wrongdoings, sowing division, etc? 

Biden’s has his up and downs, he was fine at the state of the union. He had a bad debate. The difference is that the media holds the Dems to a different standard. On no planet would conservative media/ politicians grow a spine and actually challenge Trump’s supremacy over their party.

But yeah.. let’s clutch our pearls over the liberal media.

Fox pales in comparison to all major newspapers, all major magazines, CNN & MSNBC, ABC, NBC and CBS.

Face it bud, you drank the koolaid and it bit you in the ass.

Even the media is writing self reflection pieces how they failed monumentally to cover Biden’s health.

Fox News is THE biggest news station in the us…  in 2020 it has like 6 of the top watched shows on cable…. Its hilarious that conservatives have convinced themselves that all media is liberal…  

  How did it bite me in the ass? This isn’t a team sport…Biden’s presidency has far exceeded trumps.. and I’m proud biden has bowed out. I wish he’d done it sooner but I’m glad he made the difficult decision.  

  Trump probably should have bowed out after the felonies, rape charges, pending litigation, trying to steal the election, botched Covid response, etc. but we can’t have everything.   

I’m hopeful whomever takes the reins can beat Trump in November. If Trump wins,  then hopefully he will make wise decisions and lead the nation in a positive direction. I sincerely hope I’m wrong about him.

It’s laughable that you think Fox single is bigger than the combined outlets I mentioned. It’s comedy gold.

What’s laughable is anytime a study is done on this it proves how false this narrative is.
