The coverage is so asymmetric. Little is said about Trump on the headlines, so consent is manufactured that Biden bad and neutral on Trump.

We needed Biden to be much better than he was. Trump is always shit.

I think it's more that Trump behaved exactly as we're used to seeing him. He lied, he was combative, etc but nothing new there. Biden's performance was truly alarming, as in it wasn't clear if he'd even be able to finish the debate. I agree that Trump should be raked over the coals daily by the media because he's talking like early 1930's Hitler. But the level of concern over Biden's performance is warranted, and I appreciate journalists not trying to downplay this.
