In the United States, the press, like public opinion, is divided, polarized, as the expression goes. The New York Times, the reference newspaper in the real estate mogul's city, has been on a crusade against Donald Trump since his first term. Which does not spare the venerable institution which calls for Kamala Harris to vote. On the other hand, the Washington Post, bought from the Graham family by Jeff Bezos, boss of Amazon, refused, for the first time, to take a position. The refusal to speak out in favor of the Democratic candidate would have earned her 200,000 unsubscriptions. A colossal figure which shows that the readers of this bible of the federal capital do not joke with the traditions of a newspaper which brought down Richard Nixon during Watergate.
In the audiovisual sector, the detestation of Trump primarily applies to CNN, the network created by Ted Turner. Fox News, founded by Roger Ailes, under the leadership of Rupert Murdoch, has, on the other hand, supported him from the start. The only hiccup during Joe Biden's victory was that the channel, readily accused of spreading fake news, quickly recognized the victory of the current president, which Trump's supporters took time to forgive.
If Vice-President Kamala Harris played the game of the traditional media with interviews deemed dull, Donald Trump, on the other hand, largely bypassed them after his only failed debate. Already close to Elon Musk, owner of follow up. Objective for this lawless cowboy: to seduce this so-called virilist and anti-woke age group. Not to mention his media stunts like serving hamburgers or accompanying a dumpster. Between antics and misinformation, the show must go on.
