Media peddle most unhinged anti-Trump narrative yet

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the legacy media sink to a new low. This week, in honor of Presidents Day, liberal media outlets decided to parrot a bizarre survey from left-wing academics and unironically claim that Donald Trump was the very worst president in United States history.
Yes, seriously. (The survey also somehow ranked Joe Biden as the 14th-best president of all time, which seems generous.) The “analysis” was conducted by the “Presidential Greatness Project,” and it surveyed 154 “social science experts” to come up with its rankings.
Media outlets from MSNBC to the New York Times to Rolling Stone and even the U.K.-based newspaper the Guardian all ran stories echoing this survey result and claiming, with a straight face, that Trump is the worst president ever.
Whether you like Trump or hate him, anyone with an ounce of critical thinking skills should be able to see how absurd this notion actually is. Even if you take the most critical light of Trump’s presidency and believe that he mishandled COVID-19 and incited an insurrection on Jan. 6, eminently debatable points, that’s still nowhere near as bad as many things other presidents did while in office.
