Topics
Brooke Gladstone和Michael Olinger:媒体对拜登年龄的关注过度,缺乏深入分析,且存在夸大危机的倾向。报道中充斥着猜测和政治解读,而对基本事实的审查不足。 Sean Hannity:白宫正面临拜登年龄问题带来的巨大挑战。 Lulu Garcia-Navarro:媒体对拜登年龄的关注过多,报道不够具体和深入。 Charan Ranganath:人们常常将回忆问题与记忆问题混淆,拜登的一些失误并非记忆问题。 Judd Legum:主要媒体对拜登年龄的报道数量巨大,且报道中存在夸大危机和缺乏医学专业视角的问题。 Jack Shafer:批评者只关注报道数量,忽略了不同记者和栏目对同一事件的报道。媒体的职责是报道事实,而不是操纵选举结果。对希拉里·克林顿邮件的报道是合理的,因为她违反了邮件处理标准。 Margaret Sullivan:媒体报道应保持一致性,并关注事件的背景。 Jack Shafer: 认为对希拉里·克林顿邮件的报道是合理的,因为邮件事件涉及违法行为,媒体的广泛报道是合理的。同时批评了将对拜登年龄的报道与希拉里·克林顿邮件事件作比较的做法,认为两者情况不同。
