No amount of “painful road of introspection” can fix what the media, conspiring with the Democratic Party and the permanent Washington bureaucracy, did to this country and to American democracy. They beat a terrifying lie — a sitting president as an asset of a foreign adversary — into the public consciousness for more than two years, crippling the political agenda Trump was duly elected to enact and, certainly, aiding in the denial of a second term in office.
But look! Here’s a renowned journalist giving them a stern talking-to!
Nobody cares. It’s over. They won. And they’ve never stopped.
As horrid as the media was pre-Trump, its shortcomings were mostly recognized as “liberal bias.” What they did beginning in 2017 and ever since isn’t bias. It’s dishonest. It’s malicious. It’s evil.
[Again, Adam Baldwin and I talk about this in our latest VIP episode of The Amiable Skeptics. It’s very telling that this “reckoning” came almost simultaneously with a consensus among media elites that “objectivity has to go,” too. They’re not interested in a reckoning — they want to increase their narrative manipulations. — Ed]
