18. i guess after nearly a decade of drumpf coverage.........

we're all upset.
we're all frustrated

but surprised? Absolutely not. the standard for coverage has been and will continue to be different between the two sides

one side always gets the benefit of the doubt, the sane-washing, the carefully chosen headlines to try and deliver repugnant news in the most gentle fashion possible

and the Democrats get none of that. The media lets the GOP narrative on ANYTHING be the de facto truth. After all reporting isn't about what Joe Biden meant when he said "garbage", even AFTER he went back and clarified it. No, the reporting is about how the GOP took it. How THEY all say that he was calling all of them garbage.

But drumpf goes down a mic or says Liz Cheney should be shot and the story isn't about what DEMOCRATS are saying about it, it is about "oh, drumpf used some more off-color rhetoric" or some soft peddling. JUST REPORT WHAT HE SAID. OR DID. Is that asking too much??????????????

If Kamala wins this thing it will be nothing short of miraculous that she was able to defeat MAGA, the billionaires funding drumpf, and the media that has done EVERYTHING humanly possible to to put lipstick on the pig that is drumpf.
