AP radio news Just really bashed trump and that's rare

They played a clip of trump blaming Woodward for all the deaths. Then they played a clip from Kamala saying trump is the one who dismissed Covid as a hoax.

Usually their top of the hour news stories lean normalize trump and the repubs. Today it's wasn't the case.

Did the radio news report the idiocy of the claim, or was it left to the listener to decide that?

Thats the main problem with the top-of-the-hour radio news - it reports what Don the Con says as "news", without bothering to make a determination if it is true or not.

Thank you Kamala for getting it out there that the Puppet said it was a "hoax".

Actually trump said "a democrat hoax for 70 days"!!

Or, at least, for the AP wire stuff my local daily uses. They run plenty of stuff that's even-handed, tells the truth, and calls bullshit what it is. I've been impressed with them this campaign season. Granted, it may have as much to do with what wire stuff my local paper chooses, but at least they're providing some stuff that's coming from the real world.
