Trump said Portland has entirely burned down and was rebuilt with just plywood...

And nobody asks, "who told you this?"😐

Trump claims drug prices will fall by 1200%...

And nobody asks, "how is that even possible?"😐

They’re not being run for ratings & profit anymore. The billionaires who own them want to control the narrative, which leads to windfalls in other areas e.g. Bezos doesn’t care if WaPo is losing readers. Being pro-Trump gets him large contracts and preferred status for his other ventures.

Mainstream media ownership in most cases is either pro-Trump or afraid of Trump retaliation.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.
