The shift in the MSM was palpable a year ago. They serve corporate masters first. As with every private unelected corporate tyranny, it's constituency know what is desired and what keeps them "safe". Their reporters and journalists "knew" then what editors favoured.
They may fulfill their primary task of reporting stories about news but the absence of a basic trust in their collective work as "news organizations" is rapidly disappearing. In their place are filterless, over- the-back-fence social media based on ancient standards of gossip.
The MSM has bent its knee in the direction of Mar-a-Lago and so is no longer worth reading as an independent check on ideas and policy.
Observers like Edward Bernard, Noam Chomsky, Ed Herman, Alex Carey, Neil Postman, George Orwell, John Dewey and numerous others contribute to creating and maintaining good mental hygiene and a necessary intellectual self-defence.
The current president was elected by credulity and unexamined notions.
