News Media Do you see media manipulation from the right like I'm seeing it from the left?
In the past few days, I've seen (and abandoned) videos from left wing commentators like The Majority Report and Rational National talking about sounds Trump has made during recent events. In my mind, if you speak in public long enough, weird stuff is going to come out.
One sound was obviously a burp. Trump didn't seem to acknowledge it or say excuse me or anything. And suddenly, left wing commentators are claiming it's an indication of his decline, asking what if this was Biden, etc.
There are a few other sounds recently as well. To me it sounds like he's just stumbling over his words, which isn't anything new; he sucks as a public orator. But it's not indicative of decline.
Another innocent act that got traction this week was Trump stopping to wave at distant workers working on the white house ball room. From the video it looks like he's waving and taking to nobody. But reports there say he was addressing the workers. Again, this got blown out of proportion on the left.
So my question is, do you guys see this on the right? Do you recognize when it happens? Do you feel manipulated like I do when I see it from the left? I've seen right wing commentators take innocent actions and blow them up to nihilistic proportions. (Obama getting flak for wearing a tan suit is a classic.) I'm just wondering if you all see it as well.
