“I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you,” Stahl recalled Trump telling her.

"Recalled?"

WTF? Leslie works for SeeBS. Everything she and Trump said would have been on video.

If she can only "recall" and there is no video evidence, she is telling another lie ala "Russia collusion."

“In 2020, anchor and interviewer Leslie Stahl attacked Trump’s accurate assertion that the Hunter Biden laptop (then in the possession of the FBI) was authentic”

Th old bag is a lying POS.

Everyone— nearly every person permanently distrusts the media... so this is no argument for the NY Slimes. Little Pinch Sulzburgers turd burger of a snoozepaper. All the slime that they fit in to print, to kill democracy in darkness (or something they want killed more).

“Whom”?

So Trump’s support depends on smart people who recognize the media for the unethical biased propagandist that they are.

But...anybody who trusts the media is too naive or stupid or both to vote....

Harris’s swing-state support depends on people who trust NPR/PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, Wash. Post.

This is why assuming Trump wins, the SCOTUS will prevent TikTok from getting banned on First Amendment grounds.

From the article: There has been a decades-long project to both amplify actual examples of bias in the media and to more broadly shield the right by suggesting that unflattering reporting is simply a function of such bias.

Most of us here knew the mass media were lying scumbags long before President Trump ran for President the first time.

They just kept on confirming that reality in the Trump era.
