But even this undershoots the issue. The media will belabor Biden’s gaffes, as they did Hillary’s emails, bc both are normal people with a basic attachment to the truth, which the media can then deploy as a standard by which to criticize them. Trump, of course, is far worse.He /1
lies constantly and purposefully. But he doesn’t care, nor do his voters, so stories about the lying get no traction. We’re all inured. But in fairness, all those coming headlines about Biden’s gaffes should really be about Trump, bc Biden does not openly, relentlessly lie. If /2
Biden’s gaffes become this year’s ‘emails!,’ it will be a huge failure of the media, again, to take Trump seriously, as if T’s sheer childishness & gleeful dishonesty somehow exempt him and place his lies on the same moral plane as B’s gaffes. They’re not. It’s not even close.END
