Corporate media has failed miserably when it comes to covering the 2024 election. Nine years of daily Donald Trump disasters that originally boosted ratings in 2016 have led to full-on fatigue from the public when it comes to Trump coverage.
The Democratic presidential nominee is an incredibly accomplished and well-spoken woman of color who's also the sitting Vice President of the United States. Her CV next to Donald Trump's should be enough for any thinking person to see the glaring differences between them. But when the bulk of the American voting public isn't presented with enough images of her competency because Trump's antics set people off, who else is to blame but the media who choose what they're going to air?
Trump's increasingly bizarre behavior in the last week alone would be career-ending for any other politician, although his criminality should have prevented him from running again at all. Friday's bombshell from Judge Tanya Chutkan should be all the media talks about, but instead, they'll be derailed by any sighting of Trump in the public.
However, Trump's physical failings are finally coming to the forefront, something the media can no longer ignore when his team recently canceled a spate of interviews and said he won't be doing another one out of "exhaustion." Too tired to interview but he's the "healthiest candidate in history"?
Brendan Buck, a former senior advisor to House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner, appeared on MSNBC on Friday and told host José Díaz-Balart that it was time to stop hearing about Trump's weird antics and start hearing about the Vice President's plans.
