Much of mainstream media believes its job heading into the 2024 election cycle is to make this chart balance out. Only then can the parties be presented as equal and opposite. To media, the fact that there's a lot more objectively negative news about Trump is a challenge for them to overcome.

Put the list under Biden in 25pt typeface to be more accurate about the press coverage.

Plenty of conservatives seem to unironically believe that the only reason there's so much negative news about Trump is because the media has it out for him, and not because he's a genuine piece of shit.

They refuse to learn. They're not stupid, so, why do they refuse to learn? What is stopping them from reporting the demonstrable fact that one party is actively anti-democracy? Why are they not warning about the dangers of the GOP's pseudo-theocracy, a new form of fascist authoritarianism? Hmmm
