It's also because, despite all of the talk in the media about covering the rest of the country better, there are still way more stories about Manchin/Sinema than GOP governors/state legislators, despite the latter driving so much of what is happening in politics right now. — PolitiTweet.org

That's in part because the press rightly views a president with a trifecta as a powerful figure, with the media as one of most important checks on his power. — PolitiTweet.org

And we're not getting that. That's in part because the press is convinced a 50/50 country much be covered in a 50/50 way (So 15 stories on how Republicans are super-radical but also 10 on how Biden is bad at governing and 5 on how Dems are too woke.) — PolitiTweet.org

Those are two parties with shortcomings. But the Republican shortcomings are much more dangerous to the future of the country. And you would want a coverage model overall that reflects that. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are following the lead of a man who tried to overturn the election and are constantly taking anti-democratic steps themselves v. Biden makes some mistakes on policy and some left-wing people say things that aren't popular on racial issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's governing mistakes should be covered aggressively. But Republicans control a lot of states and their governing isn't great either. They have enough Senate seats to have a big role in governing in Washington---meaning that Biden isn't governing ineffectively alone. — PolitiTweet.org

That balancing comes through a lot of news (not opinions) stories that are essentially 1. "Biden is screwing up issue X" and 2. "Democrats are too woke" — PolitiTweet.org

But 1. because the country is about 50/50 electorally 2. the elite media is obsessed with proving it is not too left/Democratic-leaning and 3. it is normed around "objectivity," the elite media is "balancing" its coverage of the GOP radicalism with negative Dem coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

One additional point of context. The mainstream elite press (Post, Times, NPR, CNN, etc.) is doing a lot of in-depth coverage of the radicalism of the GOP. See this chilling, very well-reported piece in the Times today. https://t.co/tWKXajMDw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Is Biden described in the media as a threat to democracy or in other very negative ways as Trump was? No. But that's because Biden isn't breaking with democratic values and saying racist things regularly. — PolitiTweet.org

The media treats Biden as badly as — or worse than — Trump. Here’s proof. My latest column: https://t.co/4V1AhuHX8L
