The left is downplaying it because it happened on their guy's watch, and he's not doing much about it. In fact, the Biden administration just said that Ohio wouldn't get any disaster money for this. So either the derailment's consequences are nothing, or the left's guy is ineffective at dealing with the real world. The left therefore chooses to say (and even think?) that the problems are nothing.
I think it's about Pete Buttigieg and his 2024 presidential prospects burning away faster and more effectively than the chemicals in this terrible accident.
If Democrats think this unbelievably stupid approach will work in the election, they might as well be regarded as Trump supporters. The country is watching this incident with bated breath and tremendous skepticism.
Yeah unfortunately the media in the US just overplays every bad thing that happens under someone they don’t like and underplays the bad when their guy is in office.
But corporate media is just bad so I guess that’s about all we can expect.
Its one thing to claim certain organizations pick and choose what aspects of a story to focus reporting on, but I can't fathom how someone can come to the conclusion that is as utterly ignorant as yours other than being completely brainwashed.
