It's as if our press just can't process a threat as grave as Trump. They no longer have the skills or backing from their top editors to grapple with such a grand-scale horror as the death of our democracy. So they've shrunk the issues down to a size they feel comfortable with: Shaming an old man.

Preemptive surrender is also, quite sadly, a documented response to fascism for the less critically gifted. Manchurian candidates seem to happen in journalism too

Then they’ll be very good at shredding Trump for his age and cognitive deficiencies when his new opponent is in the race. If elected, Trump will be as old mid-term as Biden is today.

Or they're partisan Trump supporters wrapping that support in "objectivity".

A theory: 1. Some can't process it. 2. Some process it, concluding they want to play it safe in case Dump wins (fear of retribution), and being intellectually dishonest in their choices. Fwliw that's my theory on burying Epstein stuff past 48+ hours. 3. Some are combo of 1 + 2 ("fog of revolution")

Nah. They're just lazy and believe, falsely, that democracy will never fall in America. Their bosses, on the other hand, want taxes breaks that trump has promised and could care less about those who aren't uber wealthy like them.

Also they’re more interested in traffic/money than actual journalism.
