I don’t think they’re trying to help trump per se. I absolutely believe they’re trying to foster outrage politics. and they are willfully ignorant of what they are reporting just so they can gain/maintain access. and they are so scared shitless of being labeled “liberal” that they are bending over so far backwards they’re facing front again that they normalize or equate everything a republican does to a democrat when it’s clear one is not the same level of scandal.
these are the same people who tell us that the people who frequent “this ohio/illinois/indiana/iowa diner” are more real americans than people who live in cities are.
doing all of that benefits trump. but I think that’s a side effect of the real problem. when you are catering to a homogenous audience and trying to pass it off as something that is the pulse of the country you’re going to get this type of unbalanced coverage.
