Because….

... when Democrats say it, it’s damaging to Democrats because the person who starts it is a dangerous outlier (“Dems in disarray “). If Republicans do it, especially after a “Democrat” celebrity starts the ball rolling, it’s a “concern” with no discernible, or even necessary, locus. The celebrity is enough. After that it’s “some people say,” and then “everyone knows.”

And yet people still fret over CBS News and “legacy” media. I still remember when Cronkite turned against the Vietnam War. Of course it was over by then, and he’d retired. The media has always been a shill for the powers that be, and since Reagan, they’ve seen those powers (and the “adults”), as Republicans.  Trump is finally taking a sledgehammer to what remains of Reagan’s party’s reputation.  And what will change? What will fundamentally change?

Not a damned thing.

(And no, the media is never going to report on Trump the way they did Biden. Falling asleep is nothing. Compare his statements and actions. Trump is openly demented and incompetent. And yet… 🦗🦗🦗)
