For the third time, quality American liberal journalism, that of the New York Times and Washington Post, CNN and Politico, must deal with its nemesis: Donald Trump, whose grip on the public lays bare its irrelevance, if not actually being counterproductive, that is, obtaining the opposite effect of the desired one. In 2016, the vast majority of the US media gave their endorsement to Hillary Clinton: Trump won, against all odds and against all appeals not to vote for him, because his voters were strongly motivated to support him, despite the bluster, the falsehoods, the promises clearly impossible to keep - in fact, none were -; and why, instead, millions of voters on Hillary's ticket, reassured by the polls and deluded by the media's frisian horses, avoided going to vote for an establishment candidate, a person of power, a woman who feminists didn't like .
In 2020, the scene repeated itself. The quality media lined DY Leads up unitedly against Trump, who, despite four years of boasting and bad decisions, gets more votes than four years before. This time, however, he loses, because, after having experienced it, even those with a snobbish eye go to vote for Joe Biden, but above all against the tycoon who always says "I" and never "we". Now, the scenario of 2016 seems to have returned. Trump continues to spout off boasts and nonsense (the war in Ukraine? He will end it the day after he returns to the White House; October 7? With him, it would never have happened), but he maintains his hold on his electorate. Indeed, three years after the insurrection he incited on January 6, 2021, when thousands of his troublemakers stormed the Capitol to induce the Congress gathered in plenary session to overturn the outcome of the elections won by Biden, there is more people than before convinced that the elections were truly stolen from them.
NYT, WP, other media can't understand it: for a thousand days they have been repeating that there is no proof or trace of the frauds reported by the ex-president tycoon; and that, indeed, there is evidence of the tricks he implemented and the crimes he committed to stay in power. Some of which are worth the trials to which he is subject and which he is trying to avoid, or at least delay, with all the apparatus of dilatory measures, which we Italians have learned well in the years of the Berlusconi judicial saga. Trump undermines the mythical objectivity of Anglo-Saxon journalism, which stands against him, even with all the trappings of opinions separated from news, and brings out its irrelevance: the more the media reveals its flaws, the higher he goes. And when, instead, they reveal Biden's flaws, they cripple him, because those who vote for Trump don't read them - and, in any case, don't believe them -, while those who vote for Biden read them and believe them.
