Here's how American news outlets framed the announcement from disgraced ex-president Donald Trump that he would once again seek elected office 🧵 1/

The Washington Post highlights that Trump faces "multiple criminal investigations" and notes that he refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, which he lost. 2/
NPR tags Trump for refusing to concede and fomenting a deadly insurrection. Keep it up. 3/
NYT focuses on the political horserace within the GOP in their tweet, but the graphic does focus on "multiple ongoing state and federal investigations" into Trump. 4/
CNN doesn't mention his criminal behavior or toxic politics, just the bit of trivia about him seeking non-consecutive terms in the White House. Try harder, CNN. 5/
ABC News and ABC's dedicated politics team leave a lot to be desired in their framing of Trump's attempted return to the White House. 6/
Equally weak effort from the team at CBS News, including the political desk. The thing people need to know about Trump is that he's a dangerous criminal who tried to overthrow the government! 7/
NBC News and MSNBC basically putting zero effort into the part of their story that the vast majority of people will actually read (the tweet). 8/
It should probably be cause for alarm within NBC News that their first shot at framing Trump's attempted return to power is exactly the same as Fox News' pre-scheduled tweet. 9/
Anyway... why go to all the trouble of this? Because the way the media talk about Trump is deadly important. They turned him into a viable candidate in 2016 by not portraying him as a fraud and a con man from the start. Could they make the same mistake again? You bet.
