So the media loved Trump, Trump loved the media.

And in 2016, although there was Access Hollywood and plenty of negative coverage, I really do think Trump got on balance more favorable coverage than Hillary Clinton.

And Hillary Clinton would agree with me.

So this guy who was able to get all this positive coverage for a long time,

then gets elected, goes to Conde Nast, goes to the New York Times, and then is a great story.

And there's liberal media bias, there's establishment bias, there's the bias towards great stories.

Even liberal reporters love great stories.

So why is it that shortly after taking office,

Donald Trump started to get the most negative and most biased coverage against him.

What happened to that guy who had relationships with the media, who the media loved?

producing great content for them, how could they suddenly start to treat him differently?

Yeah, it's a good question.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, if Drew Holden sounds like he's making sense to you, amongst other things, besides subscribing to his sub stacks, follow him on X.

because his ex-account is where he'll often unfurl his famous threads, a series of tweets with the receipts that show an example of bias.

So Drew will say Donald Trump just walked on water, similar to the way Barack Obama walked on water.

Let's see how various news organizations covered Obama walking on water versus Trump walking on water.

When I read these threads, again, I'm always impressed by how rigorous they are, how fair-minded.

You don't gild the lily.

You just say, here's what they said.
