Why no media frenzy over trump town hall freeze?

[BaronChocula]

The republican party is very white and very male, way more so than the Democratic Party. White men have always received more credit, reverence, and passes than anyone else in America. Republicans get the white man's pass that even white male Democrats don't get.

This is a continued case of media giving trump the white man's pass.

1. What freeze, please?

[Ocelot II]

3. It wasn't so much of a freeze as an episode where he spent 39 minutes

at a town hall just grooving to some tunes instead of answering questions. And it is being covered by the media, at least some of it, or we wouldn't know about it at all. Nicole Wallace has spent most of the first half of her show on it.

[Coexist]

6. Oh! I thought he looked like he was having a stroke or something

I've heard of the dance party

[MFM008]

7. You call that

Grooving ?

[Ocelot II]

9. It was his concept of grooving. Most of us would call it an "episode."

[Gaytano70]

10. He was standing and swaying and pooping 💩

Methinks

[malaise]

2. It's getting lots of coverage

all day.
Are you watching Nicole. She has all 39 minutes playing in the background.

[BaronChocula]

14. I actually posted while watching her

But I know she's more courageous than the majority of the MSM.

[Silent Type]

4. Getting lots of coverage on media I watch/read. Here's CNN laughing at the ole fool.

Go to 1:10 for lead in to trump clown show. And Bill Maher will be on CNN Saturday and guarantee he'll do his joke about trump dancing like he's jerking off two guys.

[Arne]

12. Jeff Epstein taught him the double jerk move.

But only with thirteen yr old girls.

[BaronChocula]

22. Coverage vs. FRENZY n/t

[Silent Type]

23. Tough coverage. Heck, if they ran it all day, media would get accused of sanewashing

his dancing.

[BaronChocula]

25. But seriously, not if covered in the right perspective

Joe Biden got hammered for his debate performance. That was not sanewashing. Nicole Wallace covered trump's inaction in a proper perspective being "this is part of a larger fucking problem." Media can objectively follow suit, but they won't.

trump just gets the white man's pass.

5. I think it's just giving the Republicans a pass.

I mean President Biden is a white man and look at how much they went after him for even the slightest lapse while he
was still in the race.

Where as Trump is showing signs he needs to be in a dementia unit at a nursing care facility, and we hear crickets from mainstream media.

The Republicans falsely accused the press of being liberally biased for so long that the media has actually become right wing kiss asses, by trying to go out of their way to show they are not biased for the left.

[BaronChocula]

21. As I stated

Republicans get the white man's pass more so than even white male Democrats because of the association. The mere association of the less white, less male party gives people and institutions permission to fuck with white male Democrats in a way they wouldn't fuck with a white male Republicans.

So your comment actually proves my point.

I hope that makes sense.

[BlueKota]

26. It does make sense

[BaronChocula]

28. Now I'm off to mail my ballot!

[Ocelot II]

8. Google trump town hall.

All the major outlets are talking about it.

[BaronChocula]

17. I'm talking coverage vs. FRENZY

Like the frenzy over Biden's debate performance.

[nolabear]

11. Nicolle Wallace literally had it on a small screen on her show.

She put it on and ran the entire 38 minutes in the bottom corner with a counter. When you actually see it, it boggles the mind. He looked like he was waiting for a bus that never came, gazing off and swaying and doing that weird little handjob dance—FOR THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES. Kristi Noem must be breathing into a bag right now. She looked like the caretaker stuck with a very, very crazy patient.

[BlueKota]

27. He was lucky she wasn't armed

[Quixote1818]

13. It's coming up on Facebook for all the major networks. It's just getting going! nt

[BaronChocula]

15. But I said FRENZY!

Great word, frenzy, like when Joe Biden had a lackluster debate performance in June. It was followed by a FRENZY that was fed by the FRENZY over his age.

A convicted felon and rapist stands on stage moving to music for over a half hour at what's supposed to be a town hall. It feeds into the notion that he's unfit. There's coverage. But there's no FRENZY.

[RidinWithHarris]

29. EXACTLY! While lots of Trump's weird behavior and horrible rhetoric does get called out...

...now and then, never EVER does it result in anything CLOSE the the weeks-long wall-to-wall coverage of Biden's fitness that followed his debate performance.

Yet what Trump is doing far more worthy of that kind of hand-wringing concern.

[BaronChocula]

30. TY!

Maybe I could have avoided some pushback if I had worded it as you did.

[obamanut2012]

16. It is all over the place

[BaronChocula]

18. I clarify in the comment above

coverage vs. FRENZY

[doc03]

19. Imagine if that was Kamala Harris, the news media would have her

in a straight jacket.

[BaronChocula]

20. THANK YOU!

trump gets mere coverage for significantly questionable behavior. It's definitely not leading news anywhere I see.

[Autumn]

24. Rhetorical question. Amirite?
