Go-To For Political News Can’t Seem To Read The Room For Hottest Political Issue

A recent analysis from Axios highlights a persistent blind spot for establishment media reporting on President Donald Trump.

Axios detailed the fallout from Trump’s endorsement of Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Republican primary runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn on Tuesday. The title said Trump’s decision “stuns” Senate GOP leaders and portrayed members as disappointed and frustrated. The outlet framed Trump’s move as part of a supposedly disruptive “10-day GOP revenge tour” that complicates Majority Leader John Thune’s efforts to manage a narrow majority and advance the president’s agenda.
