After the 2016 election, four years of Trump, the 2020 election, and a literal insurrection, one would assume that establishment media had learned a thing or two about false equivalence and bothsidesism. Well, let’s take a look at some of the stories that have been published about the Biden presidency over the last few days, just to be sure...

, featuring two residents from Frederick, Maryland, who serve as local representatives for an organization called “Braver Angels,” dedicated to “bridging the political divide” between people like themselves—people who believe Biden actually won the 2020 election and people who believe in a vast conspiracy involving a Democratic-led cabal of pedophiles.

In this sick and scared country, many have retreated to their bubbles, surrounding themselves with people certain the other side is their enemy — inhuman, un-American. ... So Carpenter and Abbas decided to navigate one of the tensest weeks in American memory together, as the Trump administration ended and Biden’s began. [Natalie] Abbas, who flirts with the QAnon conspiracy theory that a cabal of child-killing pedophiles runs the world, still desperately wanted to believe it wouldn’t happen. [Jim] Carpenter could barely wait for the new president, one he believes is a man of character capable of leading the country off this dark and dangerous path.

While distinct in many ways, together these three stories represent some of the media’s worst Trump-era impulses, now brought into the post-Trump era. In the first two, thesuggests that owning expensive items like a costly watch or exercise bike might betray one’s politics, or align oneself with a figure like Trump, who also happens to like expensive things. I’m immediately reminded of a famous 2018Socialist Bernie Sanders Wears a $700 Jacket While Complaining About Rich People.
