First of all, i live in Norway. The question is actually quite simple. I read the news all the time, different papers, big and small. When Trump was president, i couldn't even count how many articles i read (in little Norway!) with either his name in the article title or his face on the picture. And this lasted for all the 4 years he was president. I mean, through a year, i read thousands of articles and skim over thousands of titles. In the end, after about 2-3 months, i had to start blocking his face from article pictures because i was so sick of seeing it and his name all the time. I was also always about some extremely minor thing being sensationalized.

And now, when Biden is president, we see his name and face maybe once a week, if that.

Is the world really that corrupted, that when someone extremely egoistical and rich comes into power, they can buy their way into every single major and minor news agency aruond the entire world? Not necessarily in the US but generally?

I just can't believe how manipulative and suggestive? (Norwegian word: Suggesjon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggestion

Trump was not buying his way into the media. The dying media relied on covering him for their livelihoods.

I think it's more accurate to say that very wealthy private individuals control most of the media and they lobby politicians that might share their goals/intentions. Recently I read an article about Soros buying 18 Radio Mambi stations, which are conservative radio stations for Hispanic communities.

The answer is yes, but don't think simple politicians.

The people who control the mass media are a handful of billionaire elites. They have reached a level of evil and depravity few human minds could fathom.

Hope that helps.

Putting aside bias and corruption ideas, consider this too..

Trump was probably the most outrageous and dramatic president in US history. The reaction the media had to him was unprecedented but not surprising. Almost every day Trump would say or do something inflammatory and it got the media's attention.

Biden is one of the least interesting presidents in recent history. There is very little to report in the media about him. He's quiet.
