Let's take two scenarios:
Local gang member robs drug buyer, fires shots at escaping car.
Pope Francis robs drug buyer, fires shots at escaping car.
The headline here is identical other than the person involved and what one might expect of them. Which story do you think is going to draw more reader attention and media attention?
I think people missed your point that we expect that kind of behaviour from Trump.
Still, you'd think that "presidential candidate is a convicted felon and also tried to violently overtake the white house" would get a bit more media attention
He's got so much going on that half the paper would be about him if they kept covering everything between the classified documents, election interference, hush money, Georgia, tax fraud, Carroll defamation...
It's almost like it's by design to wear people down and have them stop believing everything they hear because "that all can't be happening"...
