Media relies on generational amnesia to recover its credibility. Go back any number of decades and the clumsy partisan propaganda will be evident, in a manner that is insistent on steering major events or their responses. Pick any decade. A fun and particularly relevant thought experiment is to imagine what the media coverage would have been for Donald Trump should he have been President during the 9/11 attacks. Would the media have sought to convene the nation around leadership, as it did, or would it have tried to remove the leadership for criminal incompetence at the least? The MSM seeks to dictate the limits of acceptable democracy to the limits of its preferred agendas. When that effort failed, it incited and covered for eight months of pre-election riots that killed two and half dozen citizens. It then internally lashed out when a contrary voice was mistakenly printed.
