One idea I wonder about is the idea that it is biased to present Trump objectively.
If I were to put together a "Very Serious New Source"TM. I would probably get a bunch of erudite types from the right and left to break down international relations, and dig into policy debates and read lots of details about the types of decisions that were being made. What I would not do is chase down every last Trump tweet to try and understand our current political situation.
But I would be wrong to do so. If you want to understand our current political situation, you have to quote our leaders directly. I remember Mark Cuban said that Trump supporters were like that friend of yours with a bad partner. They don't want to admit they made a mistake, but they're humiliated by the abuse they receive. And I think that's a lot of Conservatives. They don't want you to tell a story about the world as it is, they want you to tell a story about the way it could be with strong conservative leadership.
