In typical fashion, the genius responded to the Roseannecontroversy by complainingabout how horribly he is treated by the media. You know, what with some of them actually reporting the truth about him, even though they still can’t bring themselves to use the word “lie” when talking about his lies.
One thing the media is not doing, is pointing out something that is so obvious and so telling about the present moment, and is pretty compelling evidence of a sort of right wing bias that infects the entire media.
Imagine if you will, that Obama had, just once, said something similar to what Trump tweeted today. Trump’s tweet will go pretty much unremarked; had Obama done it, it would have been news fodder for weeks.
I know this is not a new observation, but it’s important that we not lose sight of the fact that Trump is getting a pass that no president before him, even including Republicans, has gotten. It’s an unfortunate fact that the institutional Democrats make no effort to come up with a coordinated message to make this and other points in a way that will get them out in the national conversation. The Republicans are adept at injecting all kinds of bullshit into that conversation; the Democrats remain quiescent.
