But not the click-hungry media
James Fallows notes the lack of balance in how the media treats Republicans vs. Democrats:
A reminder in campaign coverage:
-Dozens of serious stories in major outlets examined Biden’s age and cognition as matters of “fitness to govern.”
-I still have not seen any such story about Trump. I welcome learning of ones I’ve missed.
-Instead, these are*all played as “campaign messaging challenges.” Politics, not governance.
Latest example, big front-pager in WaPo, with print headline “Aides seek to steady a swaying Trump.” Not “is he fit to govern.” Online hed shown below.
Biden: threat in governance. Trump: lost mojo for campaign. These are not the same.
But Trump has lost his more than his mojo. He’s losing his audience. Kamala’s comms team is trolling him relentlessly over it.
I don’t know if Digby posted these already. (I’ve been kinda busy.) But if we’re not comparing sizes, but mojos, Team Harris has it.
