"BEHOLD! Corporate news media continues to no longer care about age or dementia in their preferred candidate, Donold.
Remember how important age and mental capacity were for a month?? One bad debate performance from Biden and it’s all they could talk about!
Now that feels like a distant memory."

@wdlindsy MSM is controlled by Putin. The NYT, WAPO, NYP, WSJ, Politico, and fux news are all skewed maga rags.

@wdlindsy one reason Trump has received a "get out of mental decline" card from the press is they always found him incoherent, but because a portion of the public gleaned meaning out as his sentence trailed off, there's an assumption on the behalf of the press that nothing has changed, that they still need to distill a few words out of his mumbling and assign meaning to it, just like his unhinged followers did

@wdlindsy It’s remarkable that (some of) the media outlets are *finally* admitting the obvious, but it’s pretty good timing

@wdlindsy starting to resemble the cult in midsommar, not far off from interpreting his crayon drawings as policy proposals.

@wdlindsy The press suddenly notices that Trump isn’t communicating very well. Very perceptive, guys!

It’s too bad that’s not what the media barons want. All they want is eyeballs so they can sell ads. They are in the outrage business not the “news” business.

@FerdiMagellan Yes, that sounds correct to me, for sure. And they want tax cuts for their owners and top managers.

@thedansimonson And, yet, by contrast, they never treated Biden remotely the same way.

@Vonskinnback Exactly: just as you say, "It is clear as day and is absolutely appalling," And, astonishingly, the movers and shakers of corporate media seem not to care that we can all see this, something as clear as day. Their arrogance is unfathomable.

@Piousunyn Whatever works best for you and other readers — I don't create threads with the idea that there's only one way to read them, for sure. I'm glad you've found a way that works for you!

@TCatInReality Yes, the horse race framing is definitely very important to them. For one thing, it allows them to keep pretending that the country is divided down the middle, a trope they've long used to keep the progressive wing of the Democratic party in check.
