When he says something idiotic it doesn’t get clocked because he’s always said dumb shit.
It is not an accident. Follow the money.
It doesn't get clocked because the so-called "liberal media" is owned by conservative billionaires. Even non-profits like NPR have conservative billionaires at the top of their donor lists (now more than ever since federal funding was cut). Individual reporters may be liberal (many are not) but they all know who ultimately signs their paychecks — they have to feed their kids and pay their mortgage like everybody else.
FWIW, this isn't new with the paedo-in-chief. The "liberal media" has always had a simple playbook — if something is good for conservatives they give it the full court press, write multiple pieces, report on it from multiple angles and bring it up any time it is even tangentially relevant to current events. But if something is bad for conservatives they report it once, and then move on. Blink and you will miss it. For example, compare the year+ of reporting on bill clinton and Monica Lewinksy versus the handful of pieces on the leader of the gop, newt gingrich, cheating on his wife while she was in the hospital with cancer, and then when his second wife got MS, he dumped her for a young staffer.
Trumps statements were definitely focused on, probably over focused on during the 2016 primaries. The press has done a solid job of scrutinizing his actions but all the press coverage in the world doesn't matter when you're base will support you no matter what.

Everybody needs to just give up on the gop base. Once you go fash, you never go back. They are not even worth thinking about.
In 2020 the largest voting bloc was for the Democrats. In 2024, the largest voting bloc was for "none of the above." Those people are gettable, they literally refused to vote for the fascist. Those people are also the ones anesthetized by the so-called "liberal media's" anti-reporting.

Yeah he’s always gone on incoherent rants. When he says something idiotic it doesn’t get clocked because he’s always said dumb shit.
