the media seems to be trashing Trump this past week. Unlike before. And saying "both sides are NOT the same"

Don't yell, not all of them, but the NYT has FINALLY had a bad word or two about Trump. I just turned on CNN and they were much better than usual "This is historical. A man running for our President, our role model, is saying he'll use the military and they are losers and suckers". They were talking about John Kelley's comments and when the GOP hack on the panel said "why aren't you outraged about how Biden and Harris treated the Abbey gate issue" even the moderator said "not the same thing AT ALL". And The Atlantic article (admittedly they are usually pretty good on Trump but this seemed more hard hitting).

I admit I'm being pretty careful who/what I watch right now because my nerves are raw over this and while the media is still playing up the horse race there seems to be a "WTF, how can this be close. Did you not hear what he said/did????)

May be too late, may not be enough, but it is a little soothing.

I might be jailed or even killed if he wins. A pretty sobering thought. Shit is getting real, 2 weeks out.

although I did watch the election returns. I won't watch this time, I'll be on this board and DailyKos. CNN/MSNBC/CNBC all suck for a myriad of reasons and I haven't missed them for one second. Fox isn't worth discussing.
