John,
Yesterday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe aired a devastating takedown of the legacy media for its pro-Trump coverage of the presidential race.
Joe Scarborough highlighted numerous examples, criticizing legacy media outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal for demanding detailed plans from Kamala Harris while overlooking Donald Trump's incoherence, his fear-mongering about pet-eating in Springfield, and bizarre comments about turning the handle of a giant faucet to help with the water crisis in California.
For over a decade, the legacy media's outdated "both sides" reporting model has failed in covering Donald Trump. Trump doesn’t discuss policy – instead, he insults, spreads lies, and, these days, often sounds completely incoherent.
However, under the “both sides” framework, if a news outlet emphasizes these facts, they're accused of being biased against Trump. As a result, instead of delivering the truth, the legacy media constantly seeks ways to balance coverage.
This often leads to parroting right-wing talking points, like the claim that Kamala Harris is all style and no substance—even though she's presented detailed plans, such as a $25,000 down-payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, $50,000 tax credits for small business startups, and partnerships to create new jobs through private investment.
So what’s going on?
According to Scarborough, “they’re desperately trying to create the permission structure” to defend Trump, despite his clear flaws and the danger he represents to democracy.
Here at COURIER, we don’t engage with the false “both sides” argument. Our fearless, factual news focuses on the truth: Trump is dangerous and a threat to our democracy.
The legacy media’s inability to cover Trump is central to his rise in American politics. We desperately need change, and it’s why COURIER is doing our part to hold the media accountable for their biased reporting.
