Both Kinds of Standards – CNN
You established being a medical hack, so your diagnosis is tossed away.
CNN’s Dr. Vin Gupta was on the air, diagnosing President Trump as losing his mental faculties.
Erratic.
— Dr. Vin Gupta (@VinGuptaMD) April 5, 2026
Can’t finish sentences.
Often confused.
Illogical train of thought.
Word finding difficulties.
Developing and worsening gradually over time.
The President is exhibiting all the signs of dementia.
He does this without an in-person examination and testing, so his medical bona fides are established.
But making it better is that Dr. Gupta gave a similar long-distance analysis about Trump’s predecessor, and despite President Roomba displaying for the world his pudding-like brainpan activity, there he was signing off that Joe Biden was a fit mental specimen.
All the way into July 2024 Gupta was defending Biden as “quite robust” and “high functioning."

Tellingly in this clip, immediately after glazing Biden, he goes after Trump, even though he wasn’t even asked about Trump.
What a hack. https://t.co/9TQcNJ4WgO pic.twitter.com/ytrkJo74bF
News Avoidance Syndrome – NBC NEWS
Is it really possible this national news hostess had no idea?
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, Kristen Welker made a curious comment. Speaking to Jeh Johnson about the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security over the funding of ICE (which is funded and operational during the shutdown, make sense of that, Democrats…) Welker begins with a curious statement. She said, “There is no head of DHS right now.”
Does the respected news hostess seriously not know that Markwayne Mullin was confirmed by Congress as the new head of the department two weeks ago?!

Reporting on the Mirror – THE INDEPENDENTS
After all he told you, there was still a desire to run this?
The New York Times decided it would be a grand idea to run a profile on internet prevaricator Aaron Rupar. We are not sure why people prefer to be lied to, but Rupar’s record of delivering false reports and selectively-edited videos to deceive his followers is legion — and still, he has his followers.
The Times profiled the liar, and he told them that he spends 80 hours a week following President Trump ardently and “reporting” on any insignificant detail he can…even those that do not exist.
That he tells them he spends on average 12 hours a day doing this is the sign of a not-well mental condition, yet The Times thought his wisdom needed to be shared all the same.
The Times on Aaron Rupar:

"The man who watches Trump all day, every day"
"Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president"

Prose & Contradiction – CNN
One thing they know for sure, whatever happens, Trump is in the wrong.
As CNN looks over the impending activity in Iran, the network’s global affairs analyst Kim Dozier manages to have it both ways in slamming the president.
On a panel with Audie Cornish, she has stated that Trump is likely to violate the Geneva Convention and take the U.S. into the area of war crimes.
Okay, so she is against that activity, right? Uh, nope. Dozier, on with Wolf Blitzer, ALSO complained that if Trump did not follow through with his threats, then he is chickening out, and lapsed into dropping the trademarked Democratic Party talking point of TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out.
And there it is.

After the media spent most of yesterday and today suggesting Trump was going to nuke or otherwise genocide Iran, CNN is already suggesting Trump will "chicken out" and drops the "TACO" line:

Anti-Social Media – NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO
Proving again that slamming a female’s appearance is acceptable if she is conservative.
The entire argument around the defunding of public broadcasters centered on the partisan approach to broadcasts, as spelled out by former 25-year editor at the syndicate, Uri Berliner. Well, hard to find a more sexist-biased display than what was heard on one show.
In exploring the alleged trend of “Mar-a-Lago Face,” the hosts were degrading conservative/MAGA females, including Erika Kirk, based solely on their appearances. We recall when this sort of discussion was forbidden for being toxic and degrading toward females.
At this National Public Radio show @NPRCodeSwitch they embody the very detail leading to their defunding. For those claiming NPR is not biased, try to imagine any hosts speaking of Democrats and their appearances in this unlistenable but degrading manner.https://t.co/tieOCfphQn pic.twitter.com/syIE3aOBjy
