In the wild and wacky world of American politics, it seems the media has taken a page out of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," where up is down, left is right, and the Mad Hatter is in charge of the news cycle.
President Joe Biden, the man who has been in office for a little over three years and a half, is being treated by the media "like a treasonous convicted felon." It's as if he's the political equivalent of a cartoon villain, complete with a handlebar mustache and a maniacal laugh. Every move he makes is scrutinized, every word he says is dissected, and every decision he takes is criticized. It's like watching a never-ending episode of "America's Most Wanted," with Biden in the starring role.
Meanwhile, the actual treasonous convicted felon, former President Donald Trump, is being treated by the media like "he's the most qualified President in US history." It's as if he's the political equivalent of a superhero, complete with a cape and a secret identity. Every time he opens his mouth, the media swoons, hanging on his every word like a lovesick teenager. It's like watching a never-ending episode of "The Apprentice," with Trump as the ultimate boss.
The media's treatment of Biden and Trump is like watching a game of political ping-pong, with the media bouncing back and forth between the two, never quite sure which side to take. It's like watching a circus, complete with clowns, acrobats, and a ringmaster who can't decide which act to feature.
But here's the thing: the media's treatment of Biden and Trump is not just a game. It's a reflection of the deep divisions in our society, where facts and truth are often sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. It's a reminder that the media, like the rest of us, is not immune to the siren call of sensationalism and bias.
So, the next time you turn on the news and see Biden being treated like a villain and Trump being treated like a hero, remember that the media is just as fallible as the rest of us. And maybe, just maybe, it's time for us to take a step back and ask ourselves: is this the kind of media coverage we really want?
