They’re not reporting his atrocities, they’re whitewashing them, and we should absolutely call that out as complicity.

I agree with that but that's not generally the criticism leveled at the media for their coverage of Trump's awful and outrageous statements.

Basically you're saying the media should cover Trump more and more critically. OP's comic is suggesting that the media is blame for giving Trump coverage, for reacting to Trump.

I guess you're right. For the comic to really be accurate, it'd need a panel with the news saying "Awful man has solid ideas and policy regarding the economy."
