Peter GleickSome in the media are starting to wake up.
"Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness? Where are the headlines screaming: 'Deranged old man peddles nonsense while threatening violent deportation of immigrants'?"
David Mitchell 
Like this one👇 “Clings to inaccurate…” makes his drivel into something it isn’t: a considered position.

Trump Clings to Inaccurate Climate Change Talking Points - FactCheck.org
Former President Donald Trump, who has famously called climate change a “hoax” for many years, hasn’t used the word lately with respect to climate change. But he still clings to some similar arguments, and other claims he makes about climate change haven't changed much over the years.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@petergleick The NYT seemed to slightly edge that way with the piece at the top of their homepage Monday evening. Slightly.
Of course they had to absolutely slam Biden's performance in the debate a couple months ago in doing so.
DaveOfTheNui@petergleick A more accurate heading for that article would be "Trump is 78 and largely incoherent."
Toni Aittoniemi@petergleick I’ve been saying for a while that instead of a crisis of democracy, we should really be paying attention to the crisis of journalism here.
Phil Landmeier@petergleick The media are afraid of offending half of their audience. It's very difficult to attack a cult leader, the cult will turn on you.
Baron Vonskinnback@shuttersparks @petergleick that is literally what happened in Germany in the 1930s, you would think a country that lost thousands of their own people in the pursuit of victory in Europe wouldn't allow it to happen to their own homeland so fucking easily, I guess every country in the world has their weak minded spineless citizens who would rather usher in an era of fascistic nazism than offend a bunch of moronic brainless twats...
Lyricismist@petergleick Bit rich - the same media outlet was also mute
xs4me2@petergleick The guy is plain dangerous…
Karl Schwartz, Artist advocateBut he knows how to appeal to the masses.
Having captured the silence of the wealthy media owners with tax avoidance, he's promising no tax on social security for the rest of us.
He's willing to tear it all down to gain power and by instinct alone - the instinct of the con artist - remains good at that.
GrantIt's the republican playbook. It's what they do and what they've always done, e.g... Benghazi. 10 committee/investigations, Clinton testified in one for 8hrs.
All investigations reached the same conclusion.. 'nothing to report'.
Last one finished 1 month after the 2016 election.
Kevin McCarthy - "Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping"
George@petergleick They are gearing up to bombard us with the next barrage of derogatory slogans coined by the GOP and its propaganda allies in the Kremlin. Probably after the debate tonight.
Niels Nielsen, geographer@petergleick He appears "strong" (some would say demented and dangerous), as opposed to Biden who has aged in a different way, that makes him frail and to appear more vulnerable.
Bret Cahill@petergleick Tax cuts. That's all that matters to Main Shill Media.
T. J. Bombadil@petergleick I question the "barely" part of that headline.
