Literally what worked and what didn't. Everything is tainted with putler orange man bad. His coverage is 98% negative. The people dissecting him have an axe to grind and are hard to take seriously.
That's not an answer at all.
It is an answer. The legitimate things trump does wrong are drowned in the sea of biased reporting. Even now with the tariff talk. These false stories of companies skipping christmas bonuses and crying wolf. What happens when they really do put a tariff on something they shouldn't. That's going to be a blip and not be remembered. What if it does spur domestic manufacturing of something, won't be covered either. You end up in a situation where people just tune in or tune out based on their bias and end up completely uninformed at both ends.
I asked what you thought a legitimate criticism (that wasn't presented enough by media) was of Trump and you essentially just hand waved. If this is such a problem in your eyes surely you wouldn't need to use Google or soul-seek to find an example.
Do you think him being convicted of sexual abuse was just "noise" that drowned out the actual problems? Is that something not worth informing voters about? I'm confused where you're trying to draw the line here. Is the character of a candidate not to be scrutinized? Shouldn't we try to be sure that a candidate will do the right thing even when it isn't reported on?
