The media has been making it a story since the first election. Every single one of his weird ass word salad moments was nation wide news. We just sit around and pretend it was covered up because fox news didn’t talk about it.
My MIL watches Newsmax now, since Trump said Fox was liberal media.
She hasn’t heard of a single gaffe Trump has made in his rallies. Hasn’t heard of how he said Biden would start WWII, hasn’t heard he said he ran against Obama in 2016, hasn’t heard about how he accused Nicki Haley of refusing his offer to send 10,000 officers to the Capitol on Jan 6. No reports on how his speeches decend into word salad when he looks away from the teleprompter.
She HAS heard that Biden is doing nothing about the border, but not about Republicans refusing to pass Biden’s border bill. She believes Biden is a fascist leading the country into communism, that Trump is a godly man, etc etc etc.
It’s so hard to talk with her now. She used to be a far left liberal, burned her bra in the 60s, pushed for women’s rights. Then she started watching Fox “News” and got brainwashed.
Some media may be making his idiocy/dementia/whateverthehelliswrongwithhim news, but a large chunk of the country doesn’t ever see it.
Media who do report this stuff is preaching to the choir.
I say this in a bunch of threads almost every single day
WE HAVE A GIGANTIC PROPAGANDA PROBLEM.
It’s absolutely flabbergasting that we as a society have just accepted that “everyone” lies to us all the time, that no media can be trusted (except for “my guy”) and that for some reason there’s nothing we should do about it.
I rarely see conversations about what we can and should do about our media. I’d love to see some actual things we can do from those intelligent enough or with the correct expertise… I have no idea myself as all I know is we protect the rights for a free press and that pretty much handcuffs us, but it’s also important to have…

Yes, the problem is that this information doesn’t seem to be making it to half the nation.
It still gets to them. They call it fake news.
