Fall of the Fourth Estate: A Critique of Mass Media

Are you suggesting the media is complicit in letting TFG control the narrative and draw attention away from, say: his private talks with Alito and attempts to get his sentencing halted, the J6ers demands for reparations, Cannon continuing to be in his pocket and subverting the rule of law, etc., etc???

I’m shocked! Well, not that shocked. Pissed, though.

It is almost funny that Tromp thinks he needs to threaten corporate media outlets into being his lap dog stenographers. They’ve pretty much been that for nearly a decade now.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s kayfabe; conflict that’s just for show.

I don’t know… I’m tired of him saying it, that’s for sure.

Good question… at this point, I honestly don’t fucking know.

Yes. “Keep em guessing” is probably pretty high on Tromp’s strategy list.

I’m tired of him saying anything. That’s why I’m largely avoiding the news. I don’t think I can handle 4 years of this.

I’ve only been consuming enough news to keep me informed, otherwise I’ve checked out and am keeping myself as distracted as possible.

MSNBC is beyond a fucking joke. What utter garbage and nonsense.

I think they’re just desperate grasping at straws… I wish they’d be a staunch opponent to all Trump represents instead. :sob:

So soft quiting is just another term for burn out?

Wow, people are going in but not giving things 110% until they burn out? Sounds like a terrible new problem. People have never done their jobs really half-assed before, there’s definitely not a Simpsons joke about that being the American way from 1995.

“thought leader” is one of those terms that make me immediately suspicious.
