"A bias of ~The Media~ that never gets talked about is the strong bias toward coherence.

"Make a reporter sit through a bizarre, rambling, nonsensical speech and they'll be inclined to summarize it in some way that makes actual sense and grab the single sensical quote."

That explains a lot about Trump. When I listen to him or see his tweets, he makes no sense and I can't see why anyone likes this.

I suggest it's not "coherence."
It's blatant simplification to distill a "sound bite."
Even over simplification.
But there's nothing good about this because 'simplification' of incoherence is still trash.

As the other comment addresses Trump, i'll use that.
There is little or nothing of coherence in his ramblings. Nor is there meant to be. It's all show with no substance as demonstrated by the frequency he flips on things.
It's "The Trump Show" and the goal is to keep people talking about Trump.

And ~The Media~ is totally complicit. The same PTB own the media and Trump.
