On April 2, PBS aired a segment titled "Analyzing Trump's use of inflammatory rhetoric on the campaign trail." Two days later, it was changed to "Anatomy of a Trump speech."
PBS didn't note that Mercieca wrote a book in 2020 titled "Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump." Its dust cover promises to explain "How a bombastic pitchman emerged as America's authoritarian P.T. Barnum, using nothing more than his weaponized words to transform a polarized and dispirited nation into his own reality TV show."
As Trump denounced Biden for a "Border bloodbath," Desjardins explained he's attacking "Anyone who calls it a humanitarian crisis." Mercieca lamented, "It can't be neutral. It can't be a situation at the border. It has to be violent. It has to be an invasion. It has to be a bloodbath."
Trump lamented, "If we don't win on Nov. 5, I think our country is going to cease to exist. It could be the last election we ever have." Desjardins explained Mercieca's thesis: This is "What separates Trump," it's not "Political razzle-dazzle, but dangerous, hyperbolic fearmongering."
If that "Last election" talk is dangerous, will PBS rewind to Biden's first campaign speech back on Jan. 5? Biden said of Trump: "He's willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power Trump's assault on democracy isn't just part of his past. It's what he's promising for the future. We're living in an era where a determined minority is doing everything in its power to try to destroy our democracy for their own agenda."
Mercieca acknowledged, "All presidents run as heroes. It's not uncommon. Joe Biden is running as a hero right now. He's running as a hero to save democracy." But she claimed, "Donald Trump is running as a different kind of hero."
Biden is saying democracy will end if he's not elected, but PBS can't imagine his followers would ever believe "Violence may be OK." PBS makes "News" by Democrats, for Democrats.
