    Wow, I’ll be honest. I hit the stop button the second I saw him and this kind of attitude is exactly why. You may consider Trump to be a fascist con artist, but 74 million people did vote for him in 2020. The media are doing their job. And if they came out in such a partisan manner they would instantly lose the trust of anyone not a diehard democrat. Their job isn’t to ring alarm bells, it’s to faithfully report news. And they’ve done so, that’s why for example Trump had to distance himself from Project 2025.

    His rant that they aren’t being partisan may feel good to you, but it shows a complete lack of understanding in what role the media plays in our democracy.
