Part 7/9:
KCBT drew a stark contrast between the media’s response to Trump during his presidency and the current climate following Democratic losses. The host argued that had Kamala Harris secured the presidency, the media would have emphasized civility and reconciliation, directly citing their theory that the outrage was reserved for Trump alone—as if differing narratives were selectively enforced based on political allegiance. The irony, as presented, is thick with the implication that Lemon's disdain reflects an underlying awareness of this hypocrisy.
