You may have noticed that in 2016 the super liberally biased mainstream media relentlessly reported on Clinton's use of a private email server and then said essentially nothing about the Trump administration doing the same thing.

You also have noticed that in 2024 the super liberally biased mainstream media relentlessly reported on Biden's cognitive issues while saying essentially nothing about Trump clearly displaying a whole laundry list of cognitive issues and psychological disorders.

It's almost as if the media isn't liberal!
Don't forget the non-stop stories about how a recession is right around the corner during Biden's presidency.

My attempt to put a stake through the heart of this thread. I asked AI

Has Fox News ever been the first to break a negative story on Trump?

Answer.
Fox News has occasionally reported critically on Trump, but it is rare for them to be the first to break a major negative story about him. Typically, investigative reporting on Trump’s controversies has come from outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, or The Wall Street Journal. However, there are a few cases where Fox News played a notable role in bringing negative Trump-related stories to light:

The answer is NO.

Also, why is the press not reporting on Trump’s incoherent liberation day speech along with him wandering off and having to be led back to sign the tariff order? If that were Biden it would be discussed for weeks.
But it’s not Biden so all you are doing is exposing the media’s liberal bias…wait…what

No joke I remember multiple news stories under Trump - not opinion, but news - that was like 'liberals must admit the Trump economy is great' and then when Biden's economy was even better it was 'storm clouds on the horizon!'

He is either trolling, a fully in denial magat, Russian asset, or not cognitively all there.
He might be triggering liberal fears causing them to hallucinate an evil other they can project their own self hate onto just like conservatives do when their sacred cows seem threatened. Reminds me of a jungle scene where a leopard walks under a troop of monkeys in the trees. I hear every accusation is a confession. Do you really think that works only in one direction?

Journalism in America is a failure. All the major media outlets were complicit in Trump 2.0 - except for maybe MSNBC.
