Kristen Welker Reminds Us How Deeply Flawed Media Coverage Of Trump Is

NBC's Meet the Press host Kristen Welker spent 30 seconds describing Donald Trump's vicious attacks on Judge Merchan and his family members by downplaying it as a “both sides” issue.

Welker opened the show describing President Biden's campaign courting Nikki Haley’s voters and Trump's with one HUGE difference. One person acted like a normal person and the other this way:

"Meanwhile, this week, the former president stepped up his attacks on the judge and his family in the New York hush money case after that judge imposed a partial gag order on Mr. Trump less than three weeks from the April 15th start date in that trial," Welker said. "And now Trump is asserting that none of the trials should, quote, take place during my campaign, falsely calling the criminal proceedings election interference."

That seems about right. Now how do we equate Biden trying to appeal to Nikki Haley voters and Trump's deranged antics?

"It is yet another reminder that we are covering this election against the backdrop of a deeply divided nation," Welker proclaimed.

Red does not equal blue. They are different colors. Trump's antics are not those of a deeply divided nation. They are the backdrop with which we see the insane ramblings and actions of a narcissistic cult leader consistently attacking his political rivals and law enforcement officials assigned to judge his criminal cases.
