People have been ringing the alarm bell since ~2015; but so much of the Murc’s Law Media opted to point a camera at an empty fucking podium for an hour or so rather than spend that time letting the American people what a fraud and a phony he was known to be before taking office the first fucking time.
So much of the traditional media’s megaphone was squandered these 10+ years.
The NYT certainly did their part Tone Policing and bothsidering, IIRC. Or accepting framing from the right on donnie - classic example being was to pretend that people were outraged about the “grab them by the pussy” talk because he said the word “pussy”. The word “pussy” was absolutely not the fucking problem and casually talking about sexual assault is not “locker room talk”.
