Regrettably, I was unclear.
You're certainly correct, thank you for noting this. Yes, Trump can hammer away, although Biden ultimately withdrew from the race, and politics in general, so this seems uncivil and unnecessary.
My point was that news media as a whole was thorough about covering Biden's Age Problem, and almost completely ignored similar problems in Trump's appearance and behavior, thus falsifying Trump's premise that news media only denigrates Trump. Some have gone so far as to say that a lot of mass media was very charitable towards Trump during his 2024 campaign, and very hard on Biden.

- bediger4000 1y agoYour observation is very common. Some vulgarians use the most uncivil phrase "Republicans can be lawless, while Democrats must be flawless" to uncharitably paraphrase the press' treatment of the two main political parties. To be entirely honest, there's a great deal of truth in the uncharitable paraphrase.
