CNN.com is doing a poor job of putting Biden stories on their iPhone version

They give very little attention to him compared to Trump. My tweets were based on looking at the iPhone version last night (5/10/21). This morning, the first headline that mentions Biden is 26th. This is after stories on Trump, Romney, and Cheney.

Now the Biden story is 38th. You’d never know who was president by looking at https://t.co/wRayPifUHs

Where Biden needs to be on TV

President Biden needs to be on Fox News. That’s the only way he will reach the Trump cult. Viewers will see that he is not the doddering old fool that his opponents have portrayed him to be. It will also give him an opportunity to explain his ideas and swat down lies that the Trump cult has spread about it. Most Republicans do not believe he was elected legitimately. This may help change their minds.

The media can’t kick their Trump addiction.

He’s crack from them. By comparison, Biden is boring. The media should cover Trump a lot less now since he is no longer president. Coverage of the 2024 election should begin in 2023. They helped him in 2016 with excessive coverage and it seems like they haven’t learned anything.

Biden is getting less than half the media attention and search interest Trump did. But he's 10 points higher in the polls, pursuing a far more ambitious agenda, and the Rescue Act is even more popular than he is.

There's something to learn here. pic.twitter.com/x5ieUKYwty

The media helped create the Trump monster

They gave him way too much coverage which helped him get the nomination and win the 2016 election.

Has Jeff Zucker admitted and taken responsibility for the damage he enabled to our country?

"Mr. Zucker’s thirst for ratings blinded him to the damage he was doing by offering saturation Trump coverage." https://t.co/rnniXcyuru

Perspective: They may be at odds now. But Trump and CNN’s Jeff Zucker have always had one thing in common. https://t.co/ABjbINl1mK

TV networks gave Trump 2 billion dollars in free airtime in 2016

I don’t see how this year is any different. I blame the media for helping Trump spread his lies and bigotry.

TV networks gave Trump TWO BILLION DOLLARS in free airtime during the 2016 election precisely because he would say the insane nonsense like he said at the debate.

They created the monster for ratings assuming he would lose to Hillary, only to end up assisting his victory. pic.twitter.com/SEv6032We1

Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums

Our list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time was originally published in 2003. But no list is definitive, so we decided to remake it from scratch. The voters included Beyoncé, Stevie Nicks and many more. Here we present our new #RS500Albums: https://t.co/nv9ePSZ6Pg pic.twitter.com/smVdTSCrLL

Election night coverage is important

We have to prevent Trump from declaring victory before mail votes are counted. The news media will play a major part in determining what the public thinks on election night.

Here’s what the news media must do — now and in November— to fend off the election-night chaos Trump wants https://t.co/GLfbwpknqS
— Margaret Sullivan (@Sulliview) September 6, 2020

More specifically, Fox's coverage will be the most important because that's where the most fact-resistant, easily triggered, Trump-alternate-reality voters will be watching.

More bad news for local newspapers

If you’re concerned that the media is concentrated in New York and Washington, this will just make it worse. Support your local newspaper.

The Star-Tribune, the last daily paper in Wyoming to print seven days a week, will no longer print on Mondays and Tuesdays. Really devastating to our newsroom staff.

More bad news for newspapers

Support your local paper! We need local news. Nobody will benefit from having all of the news coming out of Washington and New York.

Sincere rhanks to @DanBarryNYT for his craft and extreme care in writing this story. Beyond being featured, what I hope people take away from this is the need to preserve local news in some form.

Right wing media spreads conspiracy theories and misinformation

Let’s just say they lie a lot.
