Summary
MSNBC, CNN, and major newspapers like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times are softening their once critical stances, citing fear of retribution, business pressures, and audience polarization.
This shift has drawn backlash, with critics warning that neutrality risks undermining journalistic integrity in the face of Trump’s autocratic tendencies.
Meanwhile, Fox News is thriving, reaching record ratings.
As the media faces dwindling resources and public trust, experts argue it must choose between challenging authoritarianism or losing credibility entirely.
The media is not journalism, there is no journalism anymore. It is all corporate entertainment and propaganda. These news outlets don’t report “news” they report the narrative their billionaire owners want to be reported. It’s been that way since they got Ronny’s FCC to repeal the Fairness Doctrine. These fuckers don’t make money if we are at peace, they don’t make money when the economy is good they don’t make money unless the story bleeds. They don’t give a fuck if Trump won or lost or how old Biden is, all they care about is how they will make the most money they can.
Trump is just the next evolution, we have seen it before with people like P.T. Barnum.
That’s my opinion anyway.
