5. I didn't want to go into too much detail in the OP

but basically he told a story of a soldier he interviewed who told him that trump's demand for mineral rights might be the lesser of two evils. It was an interesting story and no doubt it's true, but it is one person's opinion and he told no stories about anyone else's opinion. Nor did he say anything negative about trump. I couldn't help but compare it with his coverage of Biden during the exit from the war in the middle east. He would frequently show anger towards Biden and criticize him harshly. He even scornfully called Biden "half a President" at the end of his term.
Nothing like that towards trump so far, even in the face of his disgusting treatment of Ukraine and embrace of Putin.
