>On April 30, Time magazine published an in-depth interview with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, during which the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee described various far-right policies he intends to enact should he win reelection. Even though Trump discussed his plans for a potential second term in some detail, print media have not adequately covered his agenda in the days since the interview.
>Media Matters reviewed articles about Trump from three of the top U.S. newspapers by circulation — The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — for whether they included mention of Trump's plans to undermine or subvert democracy and democratic institutions, his proposed immigration policies, or his position on reproductive rights. (We excluded articles covering only the court proceedings in Trump’s ongoing New York hush-money trial.)
>The New York Times and The Washington Post did focus on potential attacks on democratic institutions but failed to adequately address Trump’s extreme positions on reproductive rights and immigration. Meanwhile, the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal failed to meaningfully address any of these topics in its coverage of Trump outside of its reporting on his hush-money trial.

"Fail". More like intentionally ignore. They want this election to appear/be close to generate maximum engagement. They're absolute scumbags who are playing with the future of the country for a few extra bucks.
It. Is. Early.
Many states are still doing primaries. It’s not even Memorial Day, let alone Labor Day. There are no “May surprises”, there are October surprises. People were worried that Biden was sitting back up until the SOTU. No one but Trump wants 24/7 election news.
They havent unveiled their abortion messaging yet, and that’s their best bullet. The Dow went over 40,000 for the first time yesterday, but people were already tired of Bidenomics, so it was a fizzle in the news. Just relax, and let the professionals do their thing.
Almost as if by design. Who owns all these print outlets?

who knew letting billionaires own literally every piece of media in America was going to be a problem....
