> why is the “legitimate” press so interested in helping Republicans?

I think it’s pretty simple. They want as close of a race as possible, for as long as possible, all the way through election and (hopefully) longer

Trump denying election results? They love that shit because it makes the race last even longer

I don’t care about the polls 8 months out. Trump has a very long and difficult path to victory, and many disadvantages, including losing in 2020. $$$ media recognizes that

These are his supporters:

Media and trump have worked hand in glove ever since he started with the birther nonsense (or maybe it even goes back to the Central Park 5 abomination). Trump sets the topic & the media go for it like greyhounds chasing a tin rabbit.

I keep wondering when (or after so many years of this bs, IF) the media will realize that they can say Goodbye 👋🏽 to their supposed First Amendment press freedoms under the fascism trump promises.

And when you write 'the press' you mean primarily The New York Times.

@lolgop most of the major media outlets are oligarch propaganda, nothing more.

Georgia should revisit his bail agreement...say recent statements at rallies lead them to wonder if he's a flight risk.
