"... Legacy media might wish to avoid taking the apparently bold moral position that the US president shouldn’t behave like a crazy person, but in the process they’re ignoring the bombshell story that the sitting one is deranged.
"The social media screeds and public meltdowns don’t simply demonstrate Trump’s low character. They show a president who’s mentally and morally incapable of effective leadership. In a sane world, every manic posting spree would generate wall-to-wall coverage demanding his resignation or forced removal from office.
"Yet, instead, the press seemingly covers the president as though he’s two distinct personas — the petty, bigoted shitposter and an otherwise normal if slightly unconventional commander in chief. But the sad reality is that the unstable shitposter is the only Trump, and unfortunately, that’s the one who’s in the room where the 'dealmaking' happens..." -- Stephen Robinson, in the Public Notice substack, asking "Why Does The Media Ignore Trump's Madness?" Robinson provides plenty of examples (they're as plentiful as the stars in the sky) of the Malignant Fascist's madness that are being dutifully sanewashed, poo-pooed, or ignored by the media, which largely seems to go with the MAGAt Republican framing that there's a competent, sane Malignant Fascist underneath the moron shitposting at 3 a.m.
BONUS: They were warned and still have said nothing.
