Seth Abramson's piece today is long but well worth reading in full. His thesis:

"Media lied to voters about the cause of President Biden’s subpar debate performance. The lie—described here in full—is unforgivable, and was intended to chill discussion of Trump’s cognitive decline."

We Now Know What Really Happened in Atlanta

Media lied to voters about the cause of President Biden’s subpar debate performance. The lie—described here in full—is unforgivable, and was intended to chill discussion of Trump’s cognitive decline.

Proof

"Just 120 days ago, Joe Biden had a full cognitive work-up which showed no abnormal results. Major media had access to this report beginning on March 1 and pretended it did not. …

Major media is seeing its worst audience figures ever, and it’s bleeding money, and it’s experiencing scandal after scandal over bad hires (of both executives and on-air talent) and is angry over Americans quickly dissolving faith in corporate journalism."

"It feels constantly showed up by independent journalists and social media voices, and is angry at Team Biden in particular because it hasn’t given media the free content Trump did (not by being transparent, as the Trump White House was anything but, but rather by being so exponentially more corrupt and incompetent than the Biden White House that free major-media material emanated from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue almost daily)."

"While Trump's threats are happening out in the open — plain as day for everyone to see — they continue to receive relatively little attention from the press. Most outlets on Tuesday did not even bother to cover Trump threatening to jail Zuckerberg. It's a sign of how normalized his authoritarian-like behavior has become."

@wdlindsy
The far right media, being totally partisan in outlook, criticize only Biden regardless of what he does, and never Trump, no matter what he does.

Whereas the main stream media ... uh ... criticizes only Biden regardless of what he does, and never Trump, no matter what he does.

See the difference?

@stargazersmith Well-stated — you make that point cleverly and very well.
