To make my point clearer: taking Trump to task on the trivial stuff is a way to avoid talking about - and having to take a stand on - the hard stuff. You have to report deeply on what's happening to immigrants, to protesters, to foreign nations, to democracy. Sorry if that's uncomfortable.
"Trump's new AI website confirms he lost the 2020 election." I just don't care. Children are being deported, alone, without due process. People are being held in terrible conditions. Protesters are being shot. Protections are being eradicated. Wars are being waged. Elections undermined.
Yes, he's a liar. But he's also so much worse.
"Why does Elon Musk look funny?" Maybe it's all the stress of being the world's richest man who also orchestrated the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people at minimum by bluntly removing their foreign aid
