“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

Most likely main news outlets want to gain favor with the impending fascist takeover so if Trump wins and the takeover does happen, they aren’t seized or gone after or imprisoned. While they KNOW a Biden or other sane president would never dare attack a newspaper or news channel without clear felonious activity. It’s an effort to play both sides that WILL end with fascists attacking them regardless of how much of Trump’s chode they suck.
