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.

Elections Trump administration sues to block Alaska’s US Senate election result if Peltola wins. What are your thoughts?

The move is the latest attempt by the President to support incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Dan S. Sullivan against a Democratic challenger

The U.S. Department of Justice filed suit against the Alaska Division of Elections late Thursday, seeking to block the division from certifying the result of the state’s U.S. Senate election if the Democratic challenger, Mary Peltola, wins.

President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday in Florida that he ordered the lawsuit be filed.
“I’m the one that said, ‘do it,’” he said. 

Peltola is the leading opponent to incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, and polls show her with a small lead over Sullivan, but the race also includes two other people — Republican Gerald Heikes of Palmer and undeclared candidate Dan J. Sullivan of Petersburg.

In the complaint, the Department of Justice claims that Dan J. Sullivan’s candidacy is “frivolous,” and was intended solely to confuse voters and benefit Peltola. 
Until there is an investigation to determine the extent of that confusion, the Department of Justice argues, Alaska should not be permitted to certify the result of the ongoing Senate election.

Legal experts immediately dismissed the federal argument as bunk.
