John,

There’s no denying it – Kamala Harris has created an incredible amount of excitement and energy since becoming the Democratic nominee. Since Biden passed the torch, Trump’s campaign has cratered, and the deeper that hole gets, the more Trump himself looks unwell and unhinged.

Just this week, Trump has:

Claimed that Harris’ (much larger) rally crowds were AI-generated and fake.
Bombed a glitchy X/Twitter livestream with Elon Musk where Trump slurred his speech, lied constantly, and generally was incoherent.
Held a much-hyped North Carolina “speech” on the economy that a USA Today opinion columnist described as, “a dumb speech on a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with the economy.”

Remember when the legacy media put a 24/7 pressure campaign on President Biden to drop out of the race because of a poor debate performance? So, we ask for the one billionth time, where is the similar outrage for Trump’s erratic, off-the-wall behavior?

We’ll talk more about the media’s hypocrisy in a second, but if you want to help COURIER hold the mainstream media accountable for their coverage, can you chip in $20?

So, where is the media outrage about Trump? Where is the concern about a mentally unwell man becoming President again?

Following President Biden’s poor debate performance, legacy media like The New York Times and The Washington Post ran editorials calling on Biden to drop out, citing concerns about his age and mental fitness. Coverage on cable news channels was never-ending, especially on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

Once Biden finally passed the torch to Harris, right-wing outlets like Fox News even said Biden hadn’t done enough, calling on him to resign the presidency.

The media were tough on Biden, but, as always, they continue to hypocritically treat Trump with kid gloves. They keep airing his rambling press conferences and speeches, and to anyone watching, it’s obvious that Trump’s decline is becoming more public and pronounced as Harris picks up momentum.

Of course, the media has never really figured out how to cover Trump. As Lawrence O’Donnell put it in a recent monologue criticizing his employer MSNBC and other news outlets:

“It’s 2016 all over again. The same mistakes are being made. I have never seen an industry slower at learning from its own stupid mistakes than the American news business.”

At COURIER, our job is to call out this kind of bias in the media. And at our own publications, we will always tell you the truth about Donald Trump and his lack of fitness to hold public office in America.
