I recall an argument I got into with my mom about NPR always saying "Mr. Trump, even right in the middle of his term. I asked her how long Fox News could have gotten away with "Mr. Obama" during his terms and all I got was excuses about how they "spice it up" sometimes, and that I'm imagining things. I regret that she has strayed so far down the Leftist path. I've done what I can over the years, but alas.
How often do you see President Obama written out here, or Vice-president Cheyney for that matter? That isn't a left/right thing. Having more deference for those you see as doing a good job as opposed to a terrible one is what should be happening.
Journalists are supposed to adhere to rules when using titles for consistency and clarity. They have style guides published for just this purpose. By deliberately omitting DeSantis' title of governor it's an intentional slight, and a subtle method for undermining his authority.
I'm fine when an internet poster calls a public figure anything they like. This is the 21st century equivalent the group of guys sitting around in a bar and talking shit about politicians, sports, etc.
A newspaper on the other hand, while not truly neutral, is supposed to adhere to certain professional standards. Not inserting their own politics into their reporting outside of an editorial format used to be a point of pride for newspapers. Now they don't even bother trying to maintain a veneer of professional integrity.
I love how they only have respect for people they agree with. These cunts can't even keep their shit straight.
"President Obama" even though he's been out of office for 7 years.
"Mr. DeSantis" even though he's been in office for 5 years and still reigns in heaven's waiting room.

Obama isn't president. He's a former president. That's a pretty important part of his point.
We're not reporters.
