The mainstream media is catastrophically failing to meet the moment (opens in new tab)

>The pattern is clear: mainstream media has become so terrified of appearing biased that they’ve abandoned their basic responsibility...

I think they are terrified of their bosses, who in turn are terrified of this president. His serial lawsuits against media, coupled with regulatory retaliation, are major stories in themselves.

Well this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

I am not sure why this weekend’s church shooting earned so much front page attention. I am not being discriminatory as I am a member of that church (not locally though).

I am much more interested in the Gaza Genocide, Trump tricking Bibi into a back handed apology to Qatar, and so on. At some point having sex in public be less embarrassing and more defensible than our continued support of Israel if only the spotlight remains on Israeli conduct and how much money we give them.

The last time the media did what this article is suggesting, they propaganda'ed an actual dementia patient into the US presidency without any vetting. It's good that they're learning from their mistakes and not blindly engaging in petty partisan politics anymore.
