News Media Can't Handle The "Truth (Social)"

 

Here are just a few recent posts (screenshots) of the Malignant Loser's failing "Truth Social" "truths" that you almost certainly won't see covered by the news media.  Do they seem to you to be the droppings of a stable genius and future leader of the country?  (click to enlarge)




Career criminal and convicted felon complains about the law pursuing him and trying to hold him accountable for his crimes (notwithstanding the illegitimate Republican Supreme Court's immunity decision).

Imagine if a Democrat -- President Biden or anyone else -- posted this type of lying, delusional attack on the justice system.  How many minutes or column inches would you see the news media spend on calling out the Democrat?  And yet, time after time, year after year, the convicted felon Malignant gets a pass from the news media.  In 2020, Brian Klass put his finger on the problem that carries through to today:

"... Trump gets away with it because the previously unthinkable has become routine. As a species, we are drawn to fresh and surprising information — something we could call “novelty bias.” What would surprise you more: Trump amplifying a lunatic conspiracy theory in a tweet or him unequivocally praising the sacrifices of immigrant nurses and doctors during the pandemic? The former happens all the time; the latter would provoke breathless commentary. Is Trump finally making his mythical pivot to being presidential? Is this a new general election strategy? For every other mainstream politician, that dynamic would be inverted..."

That's coupled with a base that would -- has to -- believe just about anything that came out of their cult leader's mouth, and has so for nearly a decade.  It's hard to admit to yourself you've been hustled for that long, so the convicted felon Malignant Loser is free to lie outrageously without fear of losing his voters.  And all the while the news media looks for "novelty" and ignores the derangement at our peril.

Once again, the future is in our hands.  Democrats have been outperforming the polls for two years now, and in November they need to show up and outperform them once again.
