Biden is not dropping out of the race. Why Are You Not Asking Trump the Same Questions?

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, media scrutiny has intensified, particularly towards President Joe Biden. Speculation about his age, fitness, and potential to run for a second term has dominated headlines.

However, a disparity arises: Why is the media not subjecting Donald Trump to the same scrutiny and questions?

Media Bias and Ownership

The ownership and control of major media outlets play a significant role in shaping the narrative.

Many of these media companies are owned by GOP-leaning donors and executives, leading to an inherent bias in their coverage. This bias manifests as relentless questioning of Biden’s capabilities while giving Trump a pass on similar concerns.

The Double Standard

The double standard in the media coverage of Biden and Trump is glaring.
