The Daily Telegraph highlights a story about a radio interview that might have been with Donald Trump a quarter of a century ago. The previous day there was a piece about Trump’s butler. Then there was something about how few music celebs would perform for him.
Meanwhile, over at the lefty liberal Guardian, John Harris actually went to Indianapolis and talked with Trump supporters who were entering or leaving the polling station during the Indiana Republican primary election.
That’s right – instead of cutting and pasting from stuff already in the US media Harris used up some shoe leather and went out and chatted to actual voters. Yep, the stuff that real journalists used to do.
His conclusion?
Donald Trump supporters are not the bigots the left likes to demonise
Read it. It’s not totally uncritical but, unlike the pap in the Telegraph it is very fair.
The moral? If you want to find out why Trump resonates with many voters – don’t bother reading the Telegraph
