Trump is old and frail too! You’d think that a respectable news org like NPR would have spent even a little time covering the credible threats to democracy (and their own funding), and challenging the insane claims from orange man.

I don’t really agree with this. NPR did talk about the threat to democracy. The problem was it was old news at that point, and frankly, it doesn’t seem like most Americans cared that much. So this coverage didn’t get much attention.
