because media is heavily invested in Trump winning. Thats why they are obsessing over every single perceived misstep and mistake Biden makes and giving an almost free pass to Trumps bullshit in comparison. Thats why you've not heard about what an absolute failure that moderator was, about any and all of the lies Trump said during the debate, or anything. all you hear is "BIDEN OLD, BIDEN QUIT!"

Why?

Because the broadcast Media wants another Trump presidency. He drove massive viewership increases as everyone turned into the news every day to see what the latest fuckup, calamity, and embarassment he had done that day. I'd wager that there havent been as many eyes tuned into broadcast media during the Trump Presidency since 9/11. and they want that attention and viewership (and, most importantly, revenue from advertising) back more than anything.

its also why theres been bare minimal coverage, and often when it is covered, no credit is actually given, to all the improvements that have been made under biden. Biden has a huge list of wins, and no one knows about them.
