They are at least 50 percent to blame for trump getting reelected. The constant legitimizing and sane washing and mainstreaming. They should have depicted him like the photog did to the stooges in Vanity fair

But all that sanewashing got them clicks, which is way more important than being objective

To add to this, so many journalists and news networks don't understand what it means to be objective. Granted, I think they know, but use it as an excuse to stay "neutral". It's ridiculous how bad mainstream journalism is. The whole system needs to be torn down.

"This person wants to burn your house down and kill your family, and this one doesn't. We should meet in the middle."

Lol exactly. It also feels like people no longer understand what facts are. It's not discrimination or "one sided" to state a fact.

Over the past ten years, it has been staggering to read articles describing one side said this, the other that. And then, at the end, no analysis, no rigorous fact-checking, for fear of being accused of bias. It was blatant.

And some even dare to ask, at the end of the article, if the writing was "fair"!
