The Main Stream Media needs to be called out on each and every incident on how they coddle up to Trump at the expense of our democracy.

Corporate media is desperate to keep Trump and the GQP relevant and in the horse race. They don't know how to report any other story. Oh, and they crave those invites to the DC Establishment Cocktail Parties that are full of GQP heroes...and billionaires.

I agree, but there is no horse race if one of the horses has gone insane. They have to pretend such is not the case because they don't think they have anything else to sell.

So you don't tell us, but who finally told Vanity Fair and the Post about it? Vaughan Hillyard? One of the other members of the media who were there and witnessed it? Someone in Trump's retinue? A secondhand source?

I understand the disgust at the media for failing to apply the same reporting standards usually applied to others, but at what level was the info suppressed?

Will the phones be pressing assault charges? Cuz that’s rather hyperbolic and misleading to say the reporter was assaulted. The overall point of the trump exemption is fair, but clickbait AF.

Trump is a dictator he cares less about democracy more about Russia who is our mortal enemy

Fuck Trump he’s a treasonous scumbag and deserves the full wrath of the law including execution

Meanwhile, this morning, I received "BREAKING NEWS" that the prosecutor looking into Hunter Biden's taxes may be nearing a decision to press charges. Breathless reporting over nonsense* about a relative (not a politician) is considered breaking news, but lunacy by a top candidate is not?

(* In case anyone wonders, the "nonsense" I was referring to is not the investigation, but the fact that a rumor about "may be nearing a decision" is considered newsworthy. If someone breaks the law, then charge them. The rest is clickbait.)
