And possibly amphetamine abuse

But Biden is the senile one!

The pauses especially help with that ATHF vibe.

I like the sarcasm so five points.

It’s not really that. The issue is that his rambling is rarely shown at length unless a whole speech is televised. The national media is still obsessed with keeping up decorum and respecting “the office” while an unhinged fascist is trying to drag the country into a dictatorship.

I would argue from the other end that this sort of normalizes his behavior and makes people question it less but I'm uneducated swine

Maybe his deep base but it's offputting to most everyone else seeing the president of the country ranting like a demented dumb racist grandfather

you give people too much credit

You know me. You know I don't.

There's only one right way to cover Trump, and that's with late-night comedy jokes. It would take a master's thesis by someone much smarter than me to articulate why that is, there's a VOX video that takes a stab at it, but it seems very real to me that humor is the most efficient way to put this hypocrisy into context. Seth Myer isn't very funny, but he takes pains to be accurate, and to understand what he's talking about, in this emergency.

I think that the office that the national media is most interested in preserving ts own, which is not only subject to partisan attack, but a collapsing business model, shifting technology and a corporate environment that is creating pressure to get the news out faster, in a more clickbait form, and with less and less manpower and resources and manpower.

SolRo, there's not editing, and there's editing. When you edit, you're supposed to do it for clarity. You seem to be suggesting that the News should edit Trump's speeches to highlight how rambling and incoherent he is. Do I have to explain how problematic that is? In the best of times, it would be unethical. In the current media ecosystem, it would be self-destructive.

There's a way to edit Trump to highlight his incoherence, and that's to reimagine him as a deranged Uber driver. FIVE MOTHERFUCKING STARS!

>>>another possibility for this kind of video is to have Trump on or waiting for the bus, just spouting off to people want to be left alone.

FORREST TRUMP!!!!

HOLY SHIT, THAT'S GENIUS!!!!
