In case you're in a hurry here's the jist of the linked article

The article criticizes the media for its ongoing coverage of Donald Trump despite his criminal indictments and anti-democratic behavior. It argues the press ignores Trump's calls for violence and fails to consistently mention his fraud charges and impeachments. While Biden made progress with labor unions, the media focused more on an outlier poll favoring Trump. The author claims both political parties and the press lack courage and fail to hold Trump fully accountable for his lies and attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Unless the facts about Trump's legal troubles and history of falsehoods are prominently addressed in all reporting, the media is not doing its job of informing the public, the article contends.
