Not surprisingly, that's a loaded comparison. (Ironic since it's supposedly criticizing biased reporting.) The article on the left is reporting on Harris' announcment of a policy position. The one on the right is reporting on a watchdog group's criticism of Trump's proposal. The earlier CBS News article that reported on Trump's initial proposal had this neutral headline.

Yeah, that's what happens when your job is to lick the boots of a creepy con man. The MAGA Republicans all through their integrity out the roof for the orange man.
That isn't the media doing that. It's the people on Time magazine. One has meltdowns over crowd sizes and cries about how everything and everyone is against him. He speaks of fear and how every demographic different than his own is coming to take everything away. The other speaks about not going backward, and a vision where people have opportunities not fear, laughs, has fun, but also stands up to bullying.
The media relationship between Trump and the media is complicated.... but posting one Time Magazine cover and claiming bias is silly. Trump has been on the cover of Time nearly 30 times, and not all of them have been negative either.
I would argue it's not complicated. The media basically created him because he got views, clicks and reads. CNN and the NYT principally, during the 2016 campaign, elevated him when he was a fairly fringe candidate. And they still feed on him. Pretty much every day the NYT and Washington Post cover him, and whether it's positive or negative, clicks and clicks and clicks. As I've mentioned before I knew a very well-placed science editor at one of those major outlets, and they left their job because "everything had to be about Trump. I couldn't even do a dinosaur story unless I could relate it to Trump." You can't buy that kind of obsessive coverage, and the MSM has been addicted to the guy for 8 years. The tricky thing about Americans though, is they love new people, new celebrities, and love to tear down the old ones. His cult members will never abandon him, but your average channel surfer? We'll see. The media will move away from him en masse if the click rate drops appreciably. EDIT: What I've always loved about the Trump purists is that they call coverage "negative" without giving an ounce of responsibility to Trump's own behavior and words (largely awful by any civilized standard). It's like having a 5-year-old in your house who's the worst behaved kid ever, and one parent to the other is like, "why are you always so negative when he stabs guests with cutlery? Why don't we have a more balanced response, like noting that he sometimes hits an artery! Good shot, son!"
Sounds like you live in a very leftist bubble if your friend quit a left-leaning publication because he couldn't bear writing about a Republican president.
It's not complicated, but it is definitely perverse. Trump is a godsend for legacy media. He gets boomers and the tiktok generation all cranked out of their minds. The man b****es about them endlessly, but they created him and now basically feed off of each other in this stupid doomloop. You can complain about media bias all you want, but the truth is the folks who count the pennies and cut the checks absolutely want The Donald in and around public office as much as possible. The worst thing for Trump is to be ignored, and that hasn't happened even in the slightest bit for nearly the last 10 years until Joe dropped out of the race (and its driving Trump absolutely ****ing crazy).
He doesn’t like to be ignored, but the more you hear him, the more you find yourself saying, 'What?' But I disagree. The worst thing for Trump is seeing the crowd sizes at Harris’s rallies. (only 10% joking)
Didn't know this about her. Kamala Harris is a foodie? Who knew? - Food Politics by Marion Nestle Somehow, I had missed this, but the New York Times’ Kim Severson to the rescue: When It Comes to Food and Politics, Kamala Harris Is Riffing on the Recipe: From giving turkey-roasting advice to making dosa with Mindy Kaling, Ms. Harris has leaned into cooking in a way no other candidate has. Ms. Harris has turned cooking videos into campaign assets and has taken a particular interest in food issues like hunger and farm labor. But she also turns to cooking as a meditation…“Everything else can be crazy, I can be on six planes in one week, and what makes me feel normal is making Sunday-night family dinner,” she told The Cut in 2018, when she was a senator. “If I’m cooking, I feel like I’m in control of my life”…In a 90-second video from 2019 that recently resurfaced on social media, she tells a reporter how to prep a Thanksgiving turkey as she’s getting a sound check before a spot on MSNBC. She had her own cooking show! She’s cooked with José Andres on Instagram Live. She collects cookbooks. KosherSoul’s Michael W. Twitty) was thrilled to find his book displayed in her kitchen. Esquire did an analysis: An Entirely Serious Investigation into Kamala Harris’s Cookbooks, Look, let’s levelset a little bit.

Like, finally, we have a real human being—a real cooking human being—who might be the President. The press is onto this. The L.A. Times says: Kamala Harris is a cook — and she knows her L.A. restaurants. Will it help her win? Eater says Let Her Cook.

In another, she bakes candy-filled “monster cookies.” In the most popular episode, with 6 million views as of this writing, Harris makes masala dosa with the actress Mindy Kaling and the two bond over their shared South Indian heritage.
