NEW: Hyper-fixating on the Democrat's liabilities, under-reporting Trump's unfitness for office, and underplaying Russian intervention. The 2024 media are acting just like the 2016 media. I explain in my OUR LAND newsletter:

NEW: My latest piece shows how RFK Jr. falsely denied his connection to a deadly measles outbreak that occurred in Samoa in 2019—and that he championed a Samoan antivaxxer tied to this lethal eruption that killed scores of children. Another ugly episode.

Trump was the Trump we know. Biden was the Biden we feared.

Trump raged. Biden aged.
