Harris and the Times, Trump and the tabloid press

After watching the recent presidential debate, I have come to the conclusion that the days when we could align the presidential candidates with one of the two major national newspapers, the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, are over.

Barack Obama was the New York Times, George W. Bush was the Wall Street Journal, Dwight Eisenhower was the Journal, JFK was the Times.

The debacle of a debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showed that Harris' answers were just a logical imitation of the New York Times. Unfortunately, Trump's answers were more reminiscent of a terrible tabloid like the National Enquirer.

In fact, parts of Trump's appearance could just as easily have been mistaken for the satirical magazine Onion or, worse, the deliberately humorous Babylon Bee, whose motto is: “The definitive source for fake news you can trust.”
