Donald Trump's incoherence makes the media's double standard hard to hide

67% Informative

Julian Zelizer says the media has ignored Joe Biden's gaffes but Donald Trump has been speaking nonsense and spouting gibberish on the campaign trail and the media is covering for him by pretending that his verbal incontinence actually makes sense or by ignoring it altogether.

Zelizer: If Biden had done this we would have had screaming headlines. But it's the truly demented and/or incoherent blather that's going unremarked upon.

The New Republic's Greg Sargent speculates that the media are unable or unwilling to characterize Trump as being unfit for the job is because they think calling Trump 's ignorance and irrationality what it is would require them to make a value judgment that interferes with their self-regard as unbiased, objective observers.

Meanwhile, here's a recent headline about Vice President Kamala Harris that's indicative of the coverage she's been getting from the Times .
