It’s not just the conservative media that’s the problem. Even CNN in 2016 would run breathless live coverage from a location where a Trump event was scheduled for hours later, or had happened hours previously.
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders filled a basketball arena in Portland with thousands of people crowded around outside. CNN? Silence.
I joked that Trump couldn’t pass gas without live CNN talking heads discussing if it were more “fruity” or “nutty”, but really that’s only half kidding.
The media has already decided that they want Trump/Biden again.

I remember that event in the Rose Bowl. It was maybe the first and only time I actually felt any hope for this godawful country. The next few months completely shattered it as I realized just how much the old money completely dominated the political landscape.

Just think of the ratings, the advertising money, and the constant news cycle.
