Donald Trump’s arrival in North Dakota aboard a train for the Roosevelt Presidential Library dedication is a striking image that corporate media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are eager to downplay or spin. Instead of focusing on the historical significance of the event or the symbolic nature of a former president traveling by train—an American tradition—they’re too busy pushing their narrative that Trump is “out of touch” or “nostalgic” in the worst possible ways. If you tuned in to hear about America’s past or its leaders, you’d get a heavy dose of disdain instead.

Meanwhile, Fox News has jumped on its own bandwagon, portraying Trump as a modern-day statesman attending to the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt. But let’s be real: this is just as much about resurrecting Trump’s own image as it is about honoring Roosevelt. Fox often paints a rosy picture for its audience, easily glossing over Trump’s controversies and the fact that he remains a polarizing figure in today’s political climate. The narrative shift depends on who’s telling the story, which brings us to the crux of the issue—media bias.

While CNN peddles skepticism and negativity, Fox plays cheerleader for Trump, both missing the chance to deeply analyze how past presidents affect contemporary politics. The truth is, both are beholden to their audiences and their advertising dollars, sacrificing nuanced reporting for sensationalism. If the real story is the American political landscape and legacy, it’s buried under a mountain of simplistic narratives, proving yet again that you can’t trust corporate media to give you the full picture.
