Or maybe the media evenhandedly points out mistakes by presidents regardless their political stripe. Trump does bad they say it’s bad. Biden does bad they say it’s bad.

And they couldn't have done that with Donald on account of his perfection, hmmm?

even the media will admit that they are selective in what they cover. They have a narrative, not surprisingly it is a liberal narrative.

No they could not do it because they were busy finding fault with everything he said or did, even when it required twisting something he said into something that he did not say.

Well when the flag bearer of the conservative party is calling them the “enemy of the people” and having his tent revival crowds boo them, it’s not surprising that they aren’t giving him the benefit of the doubt.

... which they only ever did to Donald, and never to President Biden -- got it now.

Nice justification attempt except for the fact that the media started well before Trump gave them the title that they worked so hard to earn.

Yes the libeler media began pointing out Biden's faults after the Afghanistan fiasco, they could not avoid it and still have any credibility with the public which is and has been quite low to begin with. No more questions from the media about ice cream flavors.

Are you suggesting that the media is no longer the enemy of the American people?

Odd how “the media” is owned by conservative corporations, though, as if fuel they “controversy” to make $$$?
Huh?

The pol of confidence in the media would show that there is a long way to go before the vast majority of the public sees the media as a friend.

Considering the source, I'm surprised that wasn't listed as one of his accomplishments.

I think it was. They characterized it as when Trump wanted something he just grabbed it, a sign that he knew what he wanted - a strength for the manly man....

Like a caveman with a wood club.

this below list would be accurate if Trump was POTIUS from 2017-2019 ..but Trump was also POTUS in 2020..

Entire list is a LIE.


Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy.

• America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.
• Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.
• The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
• Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.
• More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.
• Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
• The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record.
• Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.

And that's just it -- Hoover presided over a booming economy (they called it the Roaring Twenties for a reason), and would've been re-elected in a landslide had the Depression not hit. His poor handling of the economic crisis turned him into a national pariah.



Welcome to Hooverville... population: You.

Donald was similarly undone by his half-hearted and self-sabotaging campaign against COVID, and probably would've suffered a similar post-presidency PR downfall (the freezer-truck morgues outside hospitals would have been called "Trumpwagons,") if he hadn't waged such an excellent campaign against the media and their coverage of (among everything else) his poor handling of COVID.

I remember after access Hollywood tape .. so many good evangelical made comment like “ oh those are Boy talk.. all man talk like that in their youth”.

You know what .. I am a man and I never spoke like that .. I don’t know any man in my family ever spoke like that.. I don’t know any of my friend ever talk like that.

We know the tree by its fruits.

Although the debates are not perfect, in the last set of debate rounds there were moderators from Fox News as well as NBC.

Stump speeches, rallies, television commercials are not the best way to learn about candidates because they control the narrative--or in the case of commercials, whoever is funding the commercial controls the narrative.

Are we interested in learning the truth, or opinion?

I remember a television commercial from a senatorial race several years ago in which the challenger (now the incumbent) said, "Senator X wants to destroy your Medicare." He made that allegation because Medicare reimbursements had been frozen or slightly reduced for providers--without any reduction in benefits to seniors or the disabled.

In the meantime, as a Congressman, the challenger had voted for far more extreme and harmful cuts to Medicare--raising the Medicare age to 67, for example.

If you think that doesn't matter, let me introduce you to my friend's mother, who waited in agony for three years until she was 65 to get a hip replacement, because she could never have afforded it otherwise. Could she have lasted till 67? The Congressman didn't care...but the former incumbent did.
