It warms my heart to see the mainstream media inadvertently redpilling the remainder of American centrists and independents that have not yet caught on to its pernicious lies.
No joke, Trump actually broke their brains. The slide in quality and (relative) impartiality since late 2015 is downright shocking.

I was actually redpilled on the journo menace during gaymergate. I thought only game "journos" did that because they aren't actually journos but then the TDS kicked in and everyone lost their minds and now we are here

BDS caused the rise of Jon Stewart who singlehandedly shaped the tone of the modern Dem into that of the SRDine.

Everyone called him W/Dubya, tho. Should be WDS, and not the insecure Wi-Fi standard.

I'm not aware of the radical centrist take on bush? The iraq war was horrific if anything I've read is right and I'm 50:50 on his cronies doing 9/11.

All the real journos left journ*lism when the money did.
The internet killed news media as a profitable enterprise. So now the only remaining reason to fund a news company is so they'll push your agenda.

tl;dr gaymer and journo autism
I'm talking about the DmC reboot, specifically. Basically, Capcom took a well-loved but slightly niche franchise, that had done well but not smashed sales with its latest release (which was obviously rushed but still excellent) and handed it to a Western developer (Ninja Theory) for a reboot. There's a few very good retrospectives about all the drama and controversy, but the short version is that they took a campy action series noted for its fun and deep combat and turned it into an edgy shitshow that was no less juvenile but took itself a heck of a lot more seriously, while dumbing down the combat significantly. The real juicy part though is that the new devs (and specifically the director, Tameem Antoniades) took a lot of potshots at the old games and its fanbase (notably saying that the protagonist looked like a gay cowboy, which while not innacurate isn't great PR) and the gaming journos ate it up with puff piece after puff piece, all hailing the "Shakespearean" new story (which featured stuff like Futurama plot ripoffs and a sniper rifle abortion) and, as one, going with the line that the old games were outdated and irrelevant and the bold new direction was the true future of the franchise.
Predictably, fans took issue with this whole direction and even more predictably, journos did their usual song and dance about how the entitled manchildren were just blinded by nostalgia and their toxicity was stopping them from recognizing the reboot for the masterpiece it was or whatever the frick. Long story short, the reboot underperformed massively, the special edition of the last pre-reboot game (4) destroyed it in sales, an updated rerelease with a bunch of gameplay improvements and fan-requested content (even helped out by the franchise's previous director) for the reboot came out and did make it a lot better but it was too little too late. Eventually they announced DMC5 which continued the original story (and was absolutey fantastic), the reboot was dead and buried, and journos kept on being r-slurred.
Anyway, the point I was getting at is that this was the first time I saw a really blatant wagon-circling, PR-mandated narrative as journos joined as one to craft puff pieces for the reboot and shat on the original fans. It was over something relatively unimportant, but it was one of the many incidents that crafted the g*mers-vs-journos climate that eventually led to G*mergate and we all know how that turned out.

I will never forgive anybody involved in that shitshow. I wasn't even a DMC fan, and I can tell how much bullshit that whole thing was.
Thank God DMC4SE was fun, and I am quite sure the numbers convinced Capcom to give us DMC5, instead of Dmc 2.
Them making Vergil more ridiculous with every installment is pretty nice.
