“As an aside, this is in part why The Free Press is necessary. If there’s a conspiracy of silence around a topic, that’s what we want to puncture.

“Are things any better in the battleground states? Not according to post-debate internal Democratic polling leaked to Puck. It shows a bloodbath in the states that matter, with the president dropping by about 2 points in “core” battlegrounds.”

Seems like charged language saying things are looking bad and being a “bloodbath.” Are you leading the reader somewhere? Why isn’t it great that people are finally coming to the conclusion that our president is debilitated? The election will be the democratic way to winnow out the better candidate and Trump is the better candidate.

Of course the answer to this mystery is your bias against Trump. You need to drop “get rid of Trump at all costs” from your mission. It’s not stated, but comes out in obvious ways in your reporting. You are close to being an unbiased news source. You are certainly better than legacy media.

But don’t toot your own horn when you can’t even clear that very low bar you’ve set for yourself in the same story.
