Trump Sleeps, Lies, and Rambles: The Dangerous Double Standard in Media Coverage
Trump Sleeps, Lies, and Rambles: The Dangerous Double Standard in Media Coverage - DailykosImagine President Biden standing frozen on a stage, unable to read the room while the world’s cameras roll.

Imagine Biden expressing surprise that someone he personally appointed was, in fact, appointed. You don’t need to imagine the media response — we’ve seen it. Days of breathless coverage, hot takes on “decline,” and endless punditry about “fitness for office.”
