Not sure what News outlets you aer referencing, but the mainstream News never challenged Trump's never ending flurry of obvious lies while they were always challenging Harris on the validity and details of her proposals (which Trump didn't really have any valid ones - and by valid I mean ones that would benefit everybody) The only station which consistently warned of the inherent dangers of a Trump Presidency was MSNBC. I think the ever-expanding list of candidates for the Trump Clown Show are clear evidence ot the dangers he presents to our American Democracy.

Nevertheless, I agree with your analysis of the futility of the manure piles of speculations - which remind me of the Carly Simon song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NwP3wes4M8
