Tornado Alley (PROG)

The medias approach to Biden and Trump is as lop-sided, wrongheaded, selfish and dangerous as it was before election 2016.

Why Isn’t Joe Biden Getting More Credit for a Big Drop in Inflation?
[...]
Having been criticized in 2021 and 2022 for failing to react quickly enough to the rise in inflation, the White House clearly doesn’t want to get stung again. That’s understandable, but the media doesn’t face the same constraint. Last year, it provided blanket coverage of the inflation crisis, giving extensive airtime to inflation hawks like the Harvard economist Larry Summers, who said “we need five years of unemployment above five per cent to contain inflation.” Now that the inflation rate has come down further and more quickly than many so-called experts predicted, and without a big jump in the joblessness rate, surely the media should focus on this positive news, too.
P - As the election campaign proceeds, maintaining some media balance will be particularly important. There’s a danger that Trump will do what he’s done many times before: suck up all the attention and distract from anything positive in the records of his opponents. He can’t be held responsible for doing that this week; obviously, he didn’t want to be indicted. But, even as the Trump saga continues, the media has a responsibility not to let it drown out other important stories, a category that most certainly includes the fall in inflation.

Thirteen Similarities Between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler
[...]Related: You're right. It is hard to grasp for me too. Moonves was the most honest [about] the media's part in it:
“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS. The money’s rolling in and this is fun … this [is] going
to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”
