Someone becoming president while barely having to do any public speaking compared to any that came before them is wild.
Like the media has always been prob dem but to be basically part of the campaign team is next level.
Like let's say there was some bombshell scandal that would 100 percent sink Kamala and hand the election to Trump some nobody independent investigator sent in to a random selection of various journos at all the big mainstream lib media outlets what are the chances the public would ever find out about it.

Journoids are as cucked as they are because they're all little writers. They wanted to be writers when they grew up, and saw journ*lism as their way to be read and noticed.
Thing is, journ*lism isn't what it was. You're not staking out Donald Trump's house, following him to America's main waterline, and discovering that he's been poisoning our water supply: you're on your laptop with your head down writing the exact puffy slop that your editor demands, day after day. You do not write articles: you create content. You know that you are a cog that is preeminently replaceable, and that you're very lucky to have gotten where you are, be that your parents or your blowies. Simply: you're trying to stay employed.
So if you're at WaPo, or if you're at Brietbart, what is it exactly that you write? Can you have bias? Yeah, you can have bias, but it has to be precisely the exact bias of our average reader. You can't be a conservative okay with abortion at Brietbart; and you can't be a lib skeptical of Russian disinfo at WaPo. Why would we need your voice, when there's an endless sea of better fits to choose from?
So these newspapers are taking these college grads (or in Brietbart's case, side-of-the-road troglodytes) and shaping them over years to be the most archetypical NPC. This is endemic literally everywhere, and only the AP Press is even expected to be above it. To stay alive, every single newspaper has become a rag, but it seems like some people expect that the writers themselves would have integrity.
The 'writers' right now only work there still because chatbot LLMs aren't naturally biased enough yet. In the meantime, these 'writers' will compete to outshill one another for the next decade as the total employment in the industry of journ*lism shrinks, publically offering to tattoo 'NYT' on their faces, or offering to work for free.
You think you hate journ*lists enough, but I assure you: there are no actual journ*lists left for you to hate.

A non-insignificant amount of writers for more prestigious outlets are also nepo trust fund babies do they have am incentive to keep the status quo.
