“However, by 2020, all of the coverage was negative.”
ROTFLOL! as i recall, ALL of the media coverage was negative for Trump in 2015-2016, including numerous hoaxes, fake anonymous sources, and tons of outright lies ...
So there was a disconnect with what was happening in reality in 2016.
But in 2020, the Left did not make that mistake. They used every method possible to ensure Joe Biden's victory.
One of the worst part was that the Left locked down social media to prevent us from commenting on Hunter Biden just before the election in 2020. The New York Post had their account suspended until the election was over.
