Widespread claims of an anti-Trump media bias abound, despite scant evidence. But post-Presidential Debate reporting reveals unquestionable bias — in favor of Donald Trump.

A media frenzy, teeming with inaccuracies and irresponsible speculation, is unrelentingly focused on President Biden, while giving a pass to the elephant in the room! (No, Biden didn’t say “goodest” in his ABC interview — and the neurologist often visited the White House when Biden wasn’t even there!)

Why has Trump escaped comparable scrutiny? Beyond post-debate fact-checking (Trump told 30 whopper lies), little has been said about his obvious cognitive decline, gibberish-filled rallies (electrocution versus shark attack) and threats to imprison his political enemies! Trump even escapes coverage of multiple credible accusations of rape!

Coverage of Biden’s “terrible debate performance” is overkill, especially considering the former president’s abject unfitness for office. The just released Republican “platform” is virtually devoid of policy and sidesteps abortion, but endorses fetal personhood. The New York Times reports that Republicans are softening their positions on controversial issues, when in fact they’re gaslighting voters knowing how unpopular their positions are!

One of Trump’s latest lies — he doesn’t know what Project 2025 is or who’s behind it — is preposterous. The Republican plan to dismantle our government was largely written by former Trump officials and is overseen by the Heritage Foundation, the same rightwing think tank that drafted his policies and staffed his first administration.

If re-elected, Trump has made clear he’ll ban abortion, dismantle civil rights, reverse climate policy and abandon Ukraine.

Report that, why don’t you?!
