While there are many failures of mainstream #journalism on #Trump, this isn't the worst. The worst is failing to report on what #trump and #Biden actually did in office, vs. what is said. A news culture that evolved to focus on rhetoric and polls produces systemic failure over time, not one headline or one day at a time. Biden has been an active and consequential #POTUS, whether you agree or not with policies, but coverage is glancing and superficial.
