how is this not on the front page of every news source?!
Because Trump is firehosing. There's too much bullshit and fascism, and it would consume any media outlet that reports on it, making the news media appear to be biased.
Look at the complaints from the debate, "Oh wahh, they fact-checked me but didn't fact-check Harris!" and now CBS is saying they won't fact-check the VP debate. They keep doing it because it works.
Trump is floundering. His poll numbers aren't looking great, and his VP keeps fucking up campaign events, people are leaving his rallys on camera behind him, so Trump is just going to shout whatever bombastic bullshit comes to mind in the hopes that it will drown out the other stories. And it fucking works.
Wouldn't say it totally works. Yeah some people vote for him but he's literally only losing ground, Trump hasn't actually made any political gain since his initial election, maybe Jan 6th and maybe getting shot at.
But other than that, he really only loses support at least from what I see in my swing state.
I hope you’re right.
