"Before Iran, there was Covid: Trump falls apart in a crisis. But journalists are still letting him write the headlines."
As Dan Froomkin says, this is exactly analogous to how the press behaved when Trump careened from lie to lie and bogus solution to bogus solution during the Covid crisis of his first term.

"Our top journalists continue to fundamentally cover up Trump’s derangement and incoherence. The man is lying almost constantly, gaslighting at full throttle, but the news coverage sanewashes his nonsense with euphemisms like “freestyle diplomacy.”
They cover this war largely as a political story, with most of the news coming out of the (lying) White House.
In their brief moments of access, they ask lame questions that get useless answers."
