That of course is fair game (and which is why Trump has brought this negativity all on himself). It's all the other stuff that is presented in a form to make things as bad as possible under current regime. If you have the time or interest, check out, for example, stock market reporting under Obama and Trump, especially pre-pandemic. That is just one example of not "giving credit" to Trump where the MSM was falling all over itself to credit Obama for any positive economic news.
Again, if people do not think this is really happening (or has really happened), then we just have a pretty basic disagreement.
But again, reporting on what Trump says or does, in particular, is reporting "news." It's most of the other stuff that belies the Agenda-ism.
Wait, Obama was being given credit for the stock market? That's dumb.
