Fact: the press portrayed Trump as more polarizing than he actually was. If they reported on him the same way they've reported on Biden thus far, people would not have viewed him nearly as polarizing as they did. That doesn't mean he wasn't polarizing on his own. He was. And that doesn't mean some of that polarization wasn't due to bat **** crazy Democrats and how far from the center they moved as well.These are the facts of the case:
Most people hold and have held very strong opinions on Trump.
These are opinions:
I think if you looked at a bell curve and smashed the middle down to the horizontal line and kept the Riemann's sum equally distributed to both ends, that represents a polarizing president. Say Trump haters on the left Trump Supporters on the right and no middle ground. It's scorched earth.
A less polarizing president would lift the middle from the horizontal line some leaving more room for middle ground.
Now, I think all those who supported Trump are still maintaining their portion of the bell curve, but the portion of the curve that hated Trump now doesn't have Trump to hate anymore as a president, so it shifted. They still hate him of course but the new bell curve applies to Biden and his supporters. So the strong hate of Trump become more mediocre supporters of Biden and he isn't very popular with anyone, even the democrats as a group aren't strong supporters of Biden so The left of the curve deflates and the middle ground takes up the slack.
Fact: The members of the press, individual journalists, did slant strongly anti Trump. Opinion pieces are NOT news articles.
Opinion: This slant wasn't a grand overarching Byzantine scheme. But journalists are human beings under the bell curve too. They also aren't ardent Biden supporters en bloc. I think the press was seen as more anti Trump than it really is because people reading articles on the internet confuse opinion pieces with attempts at factual reporting. Factual reporting pisses me off all the time because it should be just facts but their word choice still betrays bias, although to a lesser degree than opinion pieces.
Why do I think this?
Studies have shown that both parties feel the press is antagonistic to their own party when they are in the majority. Now all the bias will be seen by democrats as against their party because they have the house, the senate, and the presidency.
Prediction:
I think the press will also critique Biden because that is their job and we will see it.
I think you will again see the press viewed by the Democrats as overly antagonistic.
You will see Republicans and Trump Supporters initially surprised that it occurs.....see above.
Denial is a serious disorder. It keeps many of us locked in a never ending loop of idiocy and bad choices.This article, puts it much better than I can....
Interesting that it comes from the American Thinker
Two words that appear to be missing from some posters ability to understand.
Our Dire Future Under Biden
We are living in what seem to me to be terribly fraught times, times that are even more worrisome than those at the height of Cold War tensions, when we schoolchildren were drilled on what to do in case of a nuclear attack--an attack that was in fact...www.americanthinker.com
Curious who is getting fat off of that alliance.It was announced yesterday they are considering getting back into the Iran nuclear deal, maybe some think that is a good thing?
As in love with Iran as the dems are i'm sure it's of no benefit to us.Curious who is getting fat off of that alliance.
Some9one along the upper food chain is getting their pockets lined from this or it would not be happening.As in love with Iran as the dems are i'm sure it's of no benefit to us.
That or it could be as petty as undoing another thing Trump did.Some9one along the upper food chain is getting their pockets lined from this or it would not be happening.
Those in charge of the Keystone pipeline should have put Hunter on the board.Probably Hunter Biden, because everything he did before was OK in the media's eyes.
