They're certainly critical of one of the two geriatrics, but for some reason the lying one gets a pass... 🤔
"Trump spouts insane lies" is a dog bites man story.
Far Right echo chamber right about the severely deteriorated mental state of Biden" is a man bites dog story.
It's not because people aren't critical of Trump. It's a matter of expectations.
Also, the media DOES cover the bizarre lies of Trump every day. We just don't notice it as much because it's so common that it's become part of how the world has worked for the last 9 years.
Unlike the leader of the free world being visibly confused and frequently incapable of coherent communication.
Sorry, old man has senior's moment is a man bites dog story? I don't buy it.
It almost feels like the MSM are actively trying to feed trump the win, or push Biden out at the very least. After the debate they absolutely could have dedicated as much time to deconstructing Trump lies as they did to "Biden old".
Calling out Trumps lies over 45mins, a little over 1 lie per minute speaking, is hard and takes work. Calling out Biden for being old is easy, barely an inconvenience
