Just to say the absolute obvious: leaving besides Trump’s clear racism for the moment.
If Biden ever said anything that was this simply contradictory of reality, by accusing someone else of saying something he himself said…it would be all we saw on the news for days.
And it should be.
The bizarre light touch the media uses with Trump remains.
He must be just beyond the event horizon in the media’s black hole of ratings need, where if he doesn’t meet the barrel-bottom low expectations of him that also doesn’t merit notice - because that’s not novel or interesting enough for him to do.
It’s somehow within expectations for Trump to constantly crash below the lowest expectations.
In better news, knock on wood, Harris and Walz are now ahead of Trump in the polls and are still picking up steam. May it continue.

Uncontrollable drooling would really nail it.

It’s almost as if they’re attempting to hedge their bets in case should Trump win and starts coming after people, yet without considering that their “light touch” only serves to help Trump win.

And without considering that there are plenty of examples in history that show that there is no guarantee this approach will actually work.

I do think it’s more about lazy reporting for clicks.
And I can’t even really blame that on the reporters. It’s the editors, and behind them the owners, who are picking the stories and setting the direction.
Just cavalierly going for the money, with blind faith that the rest of society will sort it out. And every time society manages to get it right in spite of the media’s coverage, owners feeling this approach is justified and thus continue it.
SIGH.
Fortunately the majority can be relied on to make the right choice almost all of the time, for the past 30 years. Here’s to all of us helping that to continue.
