“Liberal” media spent more time talking about Hillary’s email server than they have spent talking about Trump’s multiple blatant, obvious cases of corruption combined.

This is the primary issue with sensasionalist reporting. For Biden, it was an unexpected shock – his issues were not ‘ordinary’. For Trump, everyone – and I mean *everyone* – knows he’s a corrupt murdering authoritarian pedophile, so it’s not news, which means under 2026 media standards, it’s not worth reporting. No news reporter is going to file a report that says “Sun rose again today, as expected”.
Now, we *should* still report this shit, because the standard isn’t “Trump doing shit” it’s “the President of the US doing shit”, but that’s not how I think the newsmedia is thinking about it. And that’s one of the huge problems with the asymmetrical reporting we’ve been seeing for at least the last decade and a half.

No worries. The scandal will be if/when Democrats get back in control and want to do anything. Then “OMG CORRUPTION HOW DARE THEY?!?!?!?!” /s

Why doesn’t the international media step in?
While Trump is hated and called out all around the world, he is painted as a solo leader. But the truth is that our country actually does have safeguards through Congress and courts.
If our safeguards are failing then they are complicit. And if they are just as guilty as the leader, why aren’t they equally as infamous.
Our media is lost. But at least international media can talk freely so let the world know who Mike Johnson or Clarence Thomas or Stephen Miller are.

I think people have tired of yelling about trump’s crimes because they are never prosecuted to the extent he suffers any accountability. Years now. Dozens of major crimes. And not once has he been held accountable. That sorta deflates anyone who actually believed that there was fair justice in this country.

But at least he doesn’t laugh strange. He is just stealing money. That’s what politicians do!
