Part of the reason we see so much negative news about Biden is that it's more newsworthy. Compared with Trump, discovering something bad about Biden is a real scoop.

Trump is one negative thing after another. There's nothing new to learn about his badness, and no new development, however awful, would make him significantly worse.

Biden, on the other hand, has had a long and mostly distinguished career. Bad news about him - his debate performance, his son's troubles, etc - stands out.

This is no excuse for the way the press treats these two manifestly different people as "equal". But it does suggest they are responding to media incentives that are basically broken in the face such a lopsided contest.

I disagree. The publishers are propping up the oligarchs. They print headlines and articles to defend them and their actions. This is not new and goes back to the beginning of newspapers. See global mining/industrial union busting, global land occupation/US manifest destiny, US slavery and segregation, and global war.

There are other reasons the journalists write reports. There are other reasons their reports get slanted. They are posturing, not the primary goal.

I also heard a TV newscaster say that "people are talking about Biden age". Well, duh. Because it is covered every day in the news.

People are also talking about how tfg is crazy, stupid, has dementia, and in really poor health. Mostly, they talk about where they are going to move if he gets elected
