In another striking illustration of left-wing bias, the American corporate media persists in exhibiting disparaging coverage of former President Donald Trump, while exercising restraint in reporting on President Joe Biden's numerous missteps, sometimes even omitting them entirely. Most recently, media outlets accused Trump of threatening to become a "dictator" if reelected, an unfounded claim.
At a town hall event in Davenport, Iowa, Fox News host Sean Hannity confronted Trump about this allegation. Hannity queried Trump on the possibility of abusing his power for retribution, to which Trump sarcastically replied, "Except for Day One. I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill." Hannity astutely pointed out that securing the border and achieving energy independence for the United States could hardly be construed as retribution.
Trump: "He says 'you're not going to be a dictator are you?' I said no no no, other than Day 1. We're closing the border, and we're drilling drilling drilling. After that, I'm not a dictator." pic.twitter.com/SZU6KiYd2l

Amused by Hannity's question, Trump exclaimed, "I love this guy!" and assured him that he harbors no intentions of becoming a dictator. Trump emphasized that his commitment to the "America First" agenda is not dictatorial but rather a continuation of policies pursued during his presidency.
However, true to their pattern, the establishment media distorted and sensationalized Trump's jest, crafting misleading headlines to imply an open threat of dictatorship. CNN asserted, "Trump sidesteps question when asked if he plans to abuse power if reelected," while CNBC declared, "Trump says he won't be a dictator if elected, 'except for Day One.'" The Associated Press ominously warned, "Trump declines to rule out abusing power to seek retribution if he returns to the White House."
It is evident that Trump was joking, as the actions he mentioned for "Day One" do not remotely resemble dictatorial or vengeful behavior; rather, they aim to enhance national security. Nonetheless, reminiscent of his presidency, the legacy media persist in portraying anything Trump says in the most negative and sinister light.
This biased coverage becomes even more conspicuous when contrasted with the media's treatment of Biden's significant gaffes. The evident double standard applied by the media is precisely why they are witnessing a decline in public credibility. As we approach the new year and the 2024 election cycle, it is crucial not to lose sight of the stakes involved. The United States grapples with an existential struggle to maintain its standing as the world's leading superpower, exacerbated by Biden's presidency, marked by issues such as crippling inflation, soaring crime rates, uncontrolled border crossings, and escalating geopolitical conflicts.
In conclusion, Biden has made minimal improvements to the lives of struggling Americans and has not demonstrated the merit to lead the nation. The biased and unjust treatment of Trump by the corporate media only intensifies public disdain for them. It is imperative to remain focused on the challenges ahead and hold the media accountable for their lack of objectivity.
