Legacy media wants to be the kingmakers, aka “you cannot deliver your message without us, we have to shape the narrative”. She’s communicating directly to her voters and it’s pissing them off. And then, whenever they get a chance to ask her something it’s always some inane shit like “why do you think Trump says you’re not black” and not a single actual policy question.
Or they’ll do shit like put Harris on full blast for not providing “detailed policies,” and then moving the goalposts to “but how do you pay for it” when she does, and nitpicking every word of every sentence she says. Meanwhile, Trump will cancel interviews, go up on stage at rally, spew a word salad response, and the NYT will bend over backwards to reword the salad to make him look better, while casting his decision to dodge a second debate as “smart” and avoiding any form of scrutiny as “efficient use of campaign funds.” At best, they’ll halfheartedly throw in a fact check like “his plan to fix inflation by levying tariffs will increase inflation” but they don’t dare portray him as the senile, hate-filled lunatic he is because they’re terrified of angering their right wing audience (who are already shifting away from legacy media anyway to reinforce their bubble). They also do this because virtually all forms of legacy media have been coopted by the billionaire sociopaths that would very much like a second Trump term to give them another tax cut and the “freedom” to pollute our world and grind the heel of their boot into the face of the working class so that they can race to become the first trillionaire.
