NEW -- Yes, there absolutely was media malfeasance in our coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign. No, it wasn't about Joe Biden being old. It was about how we normalized the hell out of a man who had already tried to end American democracy once. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
huffpost.com
Opinion: Yes, There Was A Media Scandal In 2024. No, It Wasn’t About Joe Biden.
The political press corps started ‘normalizing’ Trump just weeks after Jan. 6, 2021, to get access. That’s a big reason Trump later won, not some ‘cover-up’ of Biden’s age.
