What you’re seeing here is the role of prefabricated narratives, things everyone likes to say regardless of circumstance.
For instance it feels hard-hitting to say “The president is misleading you about the economy” - but when you say it about everyone, it advantages the guy who actually does it

Do you want to feel incandescently angry? Read coverage of Biden’s economic addresses, where he would truthfully relay great progress with accurate numbers, and it would get covered as a pack of lies.
