3/ "The nattering nabobs of negativism had accomplished their mission in a year when the elite mainstream media has lost its doggone mind —going after small daily clickbait like a puppy chasing its tail, demanding news conferences only to ask trivial q's, issuing ludicrous “fact checks,” and desperately seeking gravitas in the candidate just found guilty on 34 felony counts and liable for rape and financial fraud, who was dinged by NPR for 162 lies or distortions in just one news conference"

2/ "This column, abt decline/fall of America’s polit news media in pivotal election year, very hard to write—not for a lack of material, but bc I can’t keep pace w every day’s new & stunning examples of bad journalism, each spiraling lower...

An idea that animated the right: fantasy that Walz is a phony..2006 episode when his then-congressional campaign claimed he’d won a youth award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce when really it was — get this! — the Nebraska Jr Chamber of Commerce!"

"The #media completely blowing the election coverage is allowing Harris to run as the 1st post-media president

Instead of meeting a threat to democracy, careerist clickbaiters have both-sidesed, fact-checked trivia, and asked pointless questions

2024's massive media fail"

#FoxNews is an existential threat to viewers, & others:

Hosts like A Earhardt are overjoyed about anti-vax activist RFK Jr purported ability to help #TFG's campaign appeal to “moms” concerned with PH.

Fox aligned with RFK Jr on #COVID #vaccines -results: disastrous. Their combined assault on what he falsely termed “the deadliest vaccine ever made” helped trigger plummeting levels of support for childhood vaccinations among Rs, & ongoing consequences for America’s kids.
