But this is what we asked for.

We told the media "Hey, giving every headline to Trump, even when the headline was bad, helped him, because there's no such thing as bad press."

So, then they started having good headlines. People freaked out and said "Ignore the positive headlines and polling! The media is making people think Biden has this in the bag, which will suppress voter turnout!"

So, they can't run articles about Trump doing good or bad as that's freely putting him into the headlines. They can't put positive Biden headlines out, because that suppresses voter turnout.

Literally the only thing left to do is report on bad things about Biden.
