Mainstream Media's Failings in Political Coverage

Mainstream media often struggles to adequately cover the political landscape, especially concerning figures like Donald Trump. Many outlets seem to present Trump as a conventional candidate despite his history of autocratic behavior and divisive policies. This normalization not only misleads the public but also mirrors a deeper issue within journalism, where questionable actions are treated with minimal scrutiny. The tendency to equate Trump's outlandish statements with legitimate political discourse diminishes the seriousness with which they should be approached.
