“You’re not seeing as much overt coverage of desperation quite in the same way as in the past," said Rick Berke, a former chief political reporter for the New York Times who now is top editor of the health publication STAT. "People, after four years ago, feel like they were burned and want to leave open the possibility that he could do it again.
Generally, Trump has avoided this phenomenon. While there is lots of coverage illuminating the reasons he is in trouble, or even forecasting that defeat is significantly more probable than victory, the dominant storyline is far from, “Keeping an open mind is an essential journalistic trait that was underscored by the 2016 surprises. At the same time, so is the commitment to explaining to the audience what’s really going on — not diluted by timidity or ass-covering.
“When you have a losing cloud over you, it’s difficult to have the sun shine through,” said Scott Reed, the campaign manager for Dole. “Just as if you’re tagged like you’re broke, you can never dig out of it, just like if your campaign is broke, it’s the same type of thing.” Ben Ginsberg, a veteran Republican lawyer and operative, said the reluctance of many journalists to trust their instincts about the state of the race, “helps Trump because he can hold out a sliver of hope for his supporters so they don’t give up the ship. Nobody likes a loser; you’re not going to admit you’re a loser.”
Dems might not even bother to show up to vote if they think Biden is up big...shades of Clinton.

“The Press Needs to Improve” by William B. Turner
The consultants all smashed and grabbed the cash .. what’s left? The Bills for his Covid rally’s he still won’t pay to city’s
Because Fox news special pollsters are telling us that there are secret voters who are not revealing their secret plan to vote for Trump. Could be a thing😐
Pretty sure this was Politicos same message in 2016.
ALL THE POLITICAL EXPERTS HAVE PREDICTED THAT TRUMP WILL LOSE IN THE BIGGEST LANDSLIDE IN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HISTORY!
Duh. They've got ads to sell.
IS GOING TO BE WORSE THEN THE LANDSLIDE REAGAN DEALT CARTER!
We will not rest!
Never underestimate the Trump Cult. They wont make it easy for us. I think the race is close. Vote Biden like your life defended on it because it does

Shades of 2016 🤔
Pick a lane
Who's in trouble is America. And you back that trouble.
By all means, pummel him.
This election ain’t over until it’s over. Voting til the bitter end is the only way to ensure victory. Neither Biden nor Trump has this election won at this point in time; it’s still very close cuz of the Electoral College effect. Vote!
Is that your spin for why no one shows up to Bidens rallies, is that he already has it won? Don't hurt yourself with those mental gymnastics.
Speaking of smells, do you guys ever stop to smell what you're shoveling?
Joe Biden's socialism will not only destroy the United States, but an entire West free from the grip of the Chinese Communist regime!
It isn’t not over. We must continue to vote as if Biden is 20 points behind. They want us complacent. Vote! Vote! Vote!
If the media did that, voters would let up. Can’t have that.
