They don’t have the guts to say it was Republicans. Republicans have intimidated them because the media is afraid they will say the media is biased. Cowards.

It’s Republicans, not both sides
The media blames things on politics or both sides when in fact it’s one side – Republicans – that are the problem for issues like this. Republicans get over – they know the media doesn’t want to appear biased.
More about excessive Trump coverage
Here’s an email I sent to CNN today.
Media ratings decline after the former guy isn’t president
Media outlets give excessive coverage to Trump to try to get the ratings they had when he was president. They cover Trump cult members but I never see interviews with Biden supporters. They help him evade his Twitter ban by posting his rants.
The media’s ratings after Trump are down but the media still gives him too much attention
Here are tweets from Paul Farhi from the Washington Post and an email I sent him. (It’s similar to an email I sent to Ben White at Politico which I posted on the blog but was rejected by their email system.)
The media still gives Trump lots of coverage but ratings may be down because people have lost interest. Here’s a link to an article I linked to in the email.
Trump’s blog has staggeringly small audience – The Washington Post
Excessive media Trump coverage
I wrote Ben White at Politico who had tweeted this:
This is my message:
Yes, Trump should be covered, He may be the Republican candidate in 2024 and we need to know if he violated any laws.However, the coverage of Trump has been excessive. Here are two examples just from yesterday. I have attached screen prints of the CNN iPhone app from last night. The top seven stories all have Trump in the headline. I made more screen prints of the next stories (which I didn’t attach) and there is no mention of Joe Biden in the headlines there either.
The Washington Post was similar. Four of the top five stories had Trump in the headlines. I have attached screen prints of them. I must commend Politico which didn’t have this excessive Trump coverage.
Any web or print space and any TV time spent on Trump is time that could be spent on other issues such as infrastructure or voting rights. Even negative coverage of Trump blocks coverage of Biden and issues.
This isn’t new. It goes all the way to the beginning of his 2016 campaign. Donald Trump has earned $2 billion in free media coverage, study shows (cnn.com)
Just how much media coverage is Donald Trump getting? (cnn.com)
Members of the media should not tweet Trump’s rants because that helps him evade his Twitter ban.Cable news ratings are down since Trump is gone but their desire for viewers does not justify their distorted coverage.

Too much Trump coverage
The media shouldn’t tweet his rants. That helps him evade his Twitter ban. Any time and space spent on Trump’s lies could be spent on issues or Biden who IS president now.

Sad!
