I saw plenty of anti-Trump articles. Usually just covering him in what else was new that he said at one of his rallies that made no sense. Or descriptions of Trump's rallies getting smaller and people leaving early. Also plenty of talk about Project 2025 as well.
Maybe that was just me then.
The articles were negative but always framed in the tamest manner possible. Not, "Horrific monster does evil shit" which they deserved to be.
OK this gets complicated. And I don't know to articulate this correctly right now.
So basically what you want is MSM liberal news to become what Newsmax and OAN is? Right? Just do hit pieces of him on a daily basis?
Problem is that what they actually did was still considered hit pieces on Trump even if they were tame. The problem is that they are trying to report the news on Trump, but trying to be as diplomatic as possible.
Remember, the term MSM Main Stream Media has been turned into a Liberal only propaganda thing that has been villianized by the Far Right. Nevermind the Most Watched News Network is Fox News. They would be considered MSM but they get pass as long as they toe the party line. Some cases they don't.
So thd problem here. Is MSNBC, CNN and so forth, all liberal news got put into this liberal news group that should be automatically ignored due to their liberal leaning. Nevermind how diplomatic they could be in reporting what Trump does.
Nevermind, this idea that many want where the news should just report the news without a bias opinion on it. But how do you do that when party lines is already made between every media outlet?
It goes deeper than that as well. What happens when a sports player talks about something liberal? Well the Far right shuts them down and say they should stay in their lane aka sports. Or any celebrity for that matter. All because what they said is what I don't agree with, don't agree with their political leanings.
What happens when a Far right leaning celebrity says something? Ohh it's OK on what they said. Because what they say is what I agree with. They are just being shit down by the liberal MSM.
I guess you could say the liberal news was playing it safe because they were playing by the old rules and the Far right was breaking the unwritten rules of journalism.
I got nothing to say here.
