Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Yet Trump won convincingly.
45% : There was a silent media consensus that any action to put up a stronger candidate against Trump would be approved.
30% : The reason being given by outraged US journalists and commentators is that the two papers' owners are scared of repercussions in case Trump actually wins.
28% : In 2020, nearly every major city-based newspaper in the US endorsed Biden; just six backed Trump, none of them market leaders in their region.
26% : Instead, there was a distinct echo of the fear-mongering narrative of the Democrats, of a dark America if Trump wins.
26% : It has also played a role in ratcheting up the tirade against Trump with "exposes" based on remarks by former staff members that he supposedly said in private against segments that are seen as crucial: women, the military, trans people etc.
