People Hate The Media. The Media Earned It.

With layoffs left and left across America’s newsrooms, there’s lots of hand-wringing over the state of newspapers and “journalism” these days. Notably absent from these laments are any mention of leftism, wokeness, or the naked contempt today’s MSM journalists display again and again for ordinary Americans. Indeed, it’s such a long running theme on this blog that I had to wade through years of Media Watch-tagged posts to find one of the many specific takedowns of that contempt, but it was this one.

Why is this even a question? The media traded in reporting for "narrative journalism" decades ago, and trashed its credibility in the process. We have exhaustive evidence of their corruption and bias in nearly 18 years of operation in our own archives, let alone those of our colleagues, and on both sides of the aisle too.

Mainstream media outlets are almost beyond parody these days, let alone responsive to criticism.
