Why is it called bias, as if the results should be even? Would we say that there is a bias in TikTok to show interesting videos, instead of boring videos? I guess you could describe it as such, but the term carries an implication of impropriety with it, as if what displays bias should rightfully not display bias.
Liberals love consuming Trump content, maybe even more than conservatives. Sort of like the Howard Stern effect. Because after they do, they can go post on Twitter and reddit about how stupid Trump is.
Conservatives didn't have that with Harris. Maybe because all of her content was so scripted and her entire personality that we were allowed to see was designed by committee, and frankly there was just much less content. Trump would go on a 4 hour tirade about some random thing like Greenland. Meanwhile, Harris was tightly controlled by her handlers, only giving "safe" interviews, probably thinking that playing it safe and not fumbling somewhere would be the path to the white house.

Tim Walz's son cried and conservative media and social networks ran that into the ground for weeks. Acting like MAGA didn't say anything about Harris/Walz is pure delusion.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoI think that shows conservatives were so starved for rage content that they needed to latch onto the side-show of a side-show in order to scratch that itch. Sequestering your candidate away from any kind of challenge certainly is a strategy. I never said MAGA didn't say anything about Harris/walz. Is that what you took away from my post?

Yes that is what I took from this. > Sequestering your candidate away from any kind of challenge certainly is a strategy. Interviews with Fox News and a public debate does not read as running away from challenge. She is not the one who ran from the debates.
- IncreasePosts 2y agoHarris had fewer than half the media appearances as Trump. There is nothing to debate on this front. https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-harris-tv-podcast-media-appearances-2024-election-951ba95c https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-harris-tv-podca...
- 9283409232 2y agoDoing less media != Running away from challenges. I'm sure all the right wing interviews and podcast appearances Trump did really threw him the hard questions.
- BryantD 2y agoI don't think there's any shortage of Republicans posting on X about how dumb progressives are; I'm skeptical that liberals are any more prone to outrage than conservatives are. Check out, say, liboftiktok if you want a prime example.
