Mainstream media sanewashes Trump’s racist, lying State of the Union - Dailykos

Mainstream media outlets reacted to Donald Trump’s meandering, bigoted State of the Union speech on Tuesday night with another round of stories seeking to normalize his abnormal behavior. The practice, called “sanewashing,” has been a feature of mainstream coverage of Trump since he became a political figure in 2015.

The speech these outlets are doing their best to make into a historical pivot point was nothing to cheer about. Trump lied at length about purported economic improvements on his watch and doubled down on failed policies like tariffs that are causing demonstrable harm to the economy.

And when he wasn’t lying, he was being racist. He used his office and the speech to sling racist attacks at Black immigrants, specifically the Somali people residing in Minnesota. The slurs prompted a response from Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who yelled back at Trump, “You have killed Americans.”

Since 2015, the mainstream press has worked overtime to present an image of Trump that doesn’t match up with reality. They simply omit his worst offenses or summarize his statements and actions without providing context to their audiences. When he makes disastrous mistakes, they are morphed into mere “blunders” and at moments like the State of the Union this drive to clean up after Trump goes into overdrive.

That's all i can excerpt, but the author goes on to note how the MSM's strategy is no longer working, citing the following:

1. CNN's panel was glazing his old balls in their analysis.

Even Abbey Phillips.

2. K & R

3. He made the batshit assertion that he will replace the federal income tax with tariffs...

And that did not make a single headline.

5. And then there was CNN's Blitzer

who insisted on repeatedly asking if Omar had any "regrets" for speaking out.

Similar to that bullshit "soul searching" question Lester (whatever happened to him I don't know... just recently realized he was gone) Holt put to President Biden after Trump was 'shot at.'

Why are Democrats and Progressives always the ones being asked about 'regrets' I wonder?
