I think this is a bad take. The press mostly do their jobs, I see lots of opinion which they could reduce, but most of the time it’s on point, at least in the mainstream news, and sometimes even fox. it’s not their fault if Americans are giving in and listening to foreign propaganda from Russia and the CCP, these easily fooled people will have to get burned like they’re getting ready to get burned in the next 4 years, to return to the fold. They’re essentially still children when it comes to threats like promoted bluecheck bots funded by foreign actors like the aforementioned ones on twitter and reddit.

- pyeri 2y ago> The press mostly do their jobs The press often does a great job of shielding those in power from reality, and that's what it did in most of the Biden term. Now, I also disagree with the other extreme view that press needs to be positioned so against the establishment that it conflates facts with fiction. Not taking the side of either ruling or opposition but pushing for society's interest is the real job of press.

- mightyham 2y agoThe idea that much of the press is just doing their job seems pretty naive. There are tons of incredibly interested parties when it comes to controlling the focus and narrative of press coverage.
