He's exactly correct. The framing and narrative building is so bad it could not possibly be any worse. I believe there are great reporters being fettered by editors-publishers-owners. Mass resistance on the part of reporters could break the hold over them. They need to coordinate and act in union.
Every mid/mediocre DC journalist looking at the success The Bulwark and Jim Acosta have been having on Substack with envy and thinking they can strike gold too.
True for most large publications now. It’s got to be weird for him having had a lot of his own dirty laundry hanging out in public. He’s not wrong, but it certainly is an era of no shame.
It’s stunning to see journalists imply how unbalanced the reporting has become by corporate media & how they continue to ignore the fact that Trump’s a pathological liar. This has been happening since the 2016 election & that’s a fact.
Apparently:
1. Lizza's personal drama was enough to finally turn him against the regime
2. He couldn't stay at Politico without writing pro-regime articles
No one should be surprised by where we are especially media. Lizza is a day late & a dollar short. The 4th estate did not & still is not providing a check on powerful govt. Lizza is supposedly now recognizing this? Why? B/c he can no longer stomach it. Arrogance.
We are not only at war with Trump Inc.
We are also at war with cable, online and print news outlets; a steep uphill fight.
A coordinated Dem/Ind plan is sorely needed.
Perhaps engaging foreign press outlets with English language editions would be one helpful tactic.
Great first essay. It’s about a law firm deleting the records of their successful work on the Proud Boys and Mueller investigation, at the request of Trump. Rewriting history by deleting it.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

He seems like a striver who keeps getting in his own way. I say this as a lover of gossip.
