Media's Inadequate Coverage of Presidential Campaign
The press has been criticized for treating the current presidential campaign like any other campaign, failing to acknowledge the gravity of the situation. The contest is seen as a battle between fascism and democracy, with one party embracing a right-wing strongman. The media's coverage has normalized the Republican Party and Trump, making them appear more acceptable and normal. This failure to highlight the dangers and inappropriate behavior of the GOP and Trump is detrimental to the American people's understanding and allows for the perpetuation of delusions and support for such figures.
