Internationally left wing news was so full of Trump hate and fear that readers developed an appetite that eventually became an addictive obsession. Withdrawals from TDS are likely to continue for some years. It's only natural for the TDS affected to dig up old sources of confirmation bias to recycle. Not unlike an ex smoker checking ashtrays for good discarded cigarette buts to smoke.
I read a range of news sources to try and get a variety of perspectives. Left wing news could turn a trump fart into 5 articles and an opinion piece running for days. Real news is ranked much lower than if Trump farted. Hate sells.
I saw next to zero left wing news about the Honduras flood of migrants that started to move toward US southern borders around time Biden got it. That's not news our readers have been conditioned to want. They need to express hatred in a justified way. Feel the hatred and feel good about it.
I saw next to zero left wing news about the white South Africans protecting their property during race riots in SA. I saw lots of SA's trying to communicate to people around the world what was happening but not making news.
There is another angle to it too. There is a saying "only in America". So Trump with his orange head and big comb over and boastful comments tended to fit into that "Florida man eats his own head - Only in a America" kind of Headlines.
I would prefer to have seen some news articles that accurately reported how much property damage and looting was done by race riots. The left news services do tend to report "Some of the nasties at these race protest events are
not representative of our majority" whilst NOT reporting "Some of these nazi looking people in the background of Trump support groups are not representative of our majority."
The left news also objectively supports Jewish occupation of Palestine without actually acknowledging WTF is happening to Palestinians by Israel. In reality it goes like this... Palestinian throws rock at Israeli building. Israel carpet bombs 3 suburbs where rock thrower is suspected of living. This is justified?!? Instead Left wing news reports the words of Israeli authorities who control the narrative. "We had some trouble so we fired a few missiles."
