"The best example of the news media deciding somebody is unfit for office, because of their mental fitness or unfitness, is how they treated Biden in 2024. Biden was old and rational. Right now, Trump is old and irrational, but he’s not getting the same kind of treatment." — @markjacob.bsky.social

The Dems simply do not fight back. I believe it’s all by design. Trump who attacks everyone who tells the truth, rarely if ever attacks Schumer or Jeffries.

It's almost like the goal was never journalism at all, but was instead ratings + pushing the right wing fantasies of their wealthy owners and owner groups. They only pretended to be unbiased in order to air RW brain-vomit uncritically. Now they're A-OK without the unbiased-ness. For some reason...

Seth Meyers still shows Biden stumbling on the stairs, the media saw dems in general as boring & trump so much more exciting, now they’re terrified of offending him as they may get fired-he pushed for CNN to be bought so he can take personally pleasure when Kaitlyn Collins is fired

* Donald Trump has consistently denied having dementia, asserting that he is in "perfect health" and has "aced" multiple cognitive examinations. However, the topic remains a point of significant public and medical debate during his second term. *

There's a reason for that. It was always a weaponized disinformation campaign. Fox pushed the "Biden is senile" meme for years, complete with manipulated footage, until it was taken up by NYT and other go-alongs.

No, Biden was seriously mentally compromised and shouldn't have run for a second term. Period. It was an enormous mistake. You can hold that in your mind and still understand that the criminal in the WH is the worst thing that has happened to this country since the Civil War.

That's because the US media is owned by Trump sycophants and won't say anything negative. They are not in service to the country because they sold their souls for personal gain.

Lol, people don't need the press to tell them what they can see. The problem with th Biden final years was that the media was trying to hide it - that's not happening here. It's not like he can run for office again.

Biden was old and boring. He didn’t give them Scooby Snacks via daily rambling rants. He did his job and that’s dull. Also, never forget the weird grudge the Pod Save guys had against Biden from the jump . Lovett is a fucking kook about it.

Military deaths. Transportation accidents. Inflation. War. The debt. The defecit. Old age. Infirmity. Misspeaking. All these things only matter if a Dem is in the White House.

Working on the railroad and remembering the East Palestine train crash and how that was on the news none stop. Pete was personally responsible and what a mess. Etc etc etc. But no one died Plane crashes amid purposeful understaffing of air traffic controllers and the constan nothing will happen.

I'm sorry but Biden was NOT old and rational. He was a blundering geezer just like Trump. The only difference is he wasn't overtly evil and greedy. Fuck this team sports crap can't we all agree that all these people suck? Raise your standards people

Here’s a prediction: after he dies, they’re gonna suddenly discover that he didn’t understand what was going on most of the time, and was manifestly unfit for office, with disastrous consequences. And they’re gonna say that no one could have known that while it was happening.

They treated Biden with open contempt, he was everything tRump wasn’t, competent, effective,decent, etc.. His fatal flaw to the media, was his boring success.

I am sick of American media. They want to be celebrities and entertainers -- not journalists. They are unserious, especially on TV. Ken and Barbies, and I am sick of it.

Remember when journalists had integrity? Now you have to be so diligent to search for the truth. I wish they understood the whole world suffers because of Trumps insanity! The media is a sad excuse these days!

Isn't this kind of true for all republicans? No matter how unhinged or inept their policies, as long as those policies like the 1% pockets, they get treated with kid gloves.

Exactly! If Biden had done the things and said the things Trump has said the Republicans and right wing media ESPECIALLY the American Brainwashing Network Fox would be ranting about it 24/7.

A Politico article right before inauguration told how happy were White House correspondents that the boring & disciplined Biden administration was on its way out, the zany & unpredictable (FUN!!!) Trump Admin II was coming in. Fuck them and broadcast news or NPR.

Because most 'mainstream' new outlets are all owned by rich people, who prop up Trump or involved in the Epstein files. That and many people seem unable to think critically for themselves or at least fact check things.

Previously Trump was middle aged & irrational. Before that he was an “adult” & irrational. Started with him being privileged with no consequences.

Biden's bad debate performance was still the better one on that night! Read the transcript. At every point through now, it has been clear that Trump was unfit and would wreck everything he touched. But our major media chased out Biden and normalized Trump anyway

He’s getting better treatment because the media bosses are Republican. The owners make no secrets. Why we keep comparing Biden treatment vs T is beyond me. We already have the answers.

We can leave Fox News out this discussion as there is no hope for what is essentially state-run media. There is no excuse for all of the other print and broadcast media outlets. They’ve gone out of their way to normalize and stand behind a maniacal fascist who is hellbent on destroying democracy.

This is what’s hard for people outside the country to understand. The average American is very ignorant. The media keeps people stupid on purpose.

Yes, they work hand in hand. Our propaganda machine is unrivalled. I was fortunate enough to see our foreign policy first hand in multiple countries. I found out what I was taught was a lie. Most people don’t travel outside their own County lines.

Let's review: legacy media is almost entirely controlled by multi-billionaires who helped put Trump in power and have a huge financial interest in keeping him there. This isn't so much a media story as it is a corrupt billionaire story. Billionaires are the threat.

Biden's crime was visibly slowing down and sounding old. Trump's meds and his sundowning keep him moving faster, and he doesn't sound as elderly. (Never mind that what comes out of his mouth is incoherent garbage.)

People need to understand that the press doesn't care about readers, they care about advertisers and advertisers care about money and profits. They will always pander to advertisers, which is why so few reported on how Walgreens stole from its employees. The press will never be pro-labor.

The media has been corporate owned and right leaning for decades. The Paramount Skydance hostile takeover just solidifies the rest.

The media has decided they simply won't acknowledge their total capitulation to Trump and his nazi friends, regardless of how me much evidence is piled in front of them.

It’s purely mercenary: Biden had a brilliant policy record, but could never make a headline. The news media has zero incentive, fiscally speaking, to report honestly on Trump. Progressives and liberals click on every story with his name just as often as MAGA does.

He's a narcissist, that lives on being hated - it just fuels his revenge retribution tour all the more and he's found some of the wealthiest greediest dark money foreign and domestic to fund and enable this mess!

MAGA now owns the media. Dems got completely waxed on media control. I guess Pelosi and Schumer were too busy trading their stock portfolios using insider information to notice. The world is paying the price.

With presidents other than Trump, so-called journalists had to cover very boring things like policy, bills and solving problems. They had to work at it. With Trump, my 10 year-old granddaughter could do the coverage. So easy so simple. Just copy the moron’s words. And done for the day.
