The article critiques how news media report on Donald Trump, particularly focusing on a New York Times piece about his efforts to push a reconciliation bill. It highlights that rather than presenting objective news, the coverage often centers Trump’s words, even distorting actual legislative processes. An example is given from a NYT story that promises coverage on Trump’s rallying but primarily details actions by others involved in the bill. The challenge lies in Trump's misinformation, which often goes unchecked in headlines.
President Trump worked to rally support for the legislation on Thursday at an event at the White House, praising the "hundreds of things here" to like about the bill. "It's so good," he said, though one item he trumpeted, eliminating taxes on Social Security, was not actually in the bill.
If you click on that story, it's not a dedicated news story. Instead, it's just the top newsletter page, with stubs for stories on the reconciliation bill, Iran strikes, and deportation.
