Most independents say former President Trump received a fair trial in the New York hush money criminal case, in a new poll taken in the days after he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying bus…
To date, most of the news coverage around Trump has been his defense team’s fumbling failures to make a compelling case.
Lemmyites are happy with this prevailing view for the time being. But if the increasingly right-wing dominated press decide to change their tune, we could easily see a “Trump is being persecuted unfairly” narrative gain ground in 2024, the same way that “Hillary Emails make her unfit for office” gained ground in the run up to 2016. Just depends on which way Jeff Bezos’s WaPo, Elon Musk’s Twitter, and Bill Gates’s NBC decide to swing as we head into the general election season.
You’re absolutely right about voters not being legal experts. And that’s going to leave them increasingly vulnerable to whatever prevailing media narrative swamps them in November.

It’s lawfair.
You should report back up the chain that “lawfair” isn’t catching on. Your handlers should feed you a new talking point.
Are you leftist?
What is that even supposed to mean? Get better material.
Go look it up.
You seem pretty uninformed. No surprise you’re repeating things you heard but cannot define.
Did you look it up?
No, I don’t actually care. Did you look it up?
Then i don’t care for what you have to say.
