To say legacy media is not built for this moment is a gross understatement. The people destroying this country are being treated with respect.

NPR Morning Edition had Steve Bannon on yesterday, and PBS News Hour has Chris Rufo on right now. What the fuck is wrong with you??? What possible reason is there to platform these lying assholes???

The UK has it correct with required “Prime Ministers Questions” in a public forum.

The only chance we have is independent newspeople doing the real work.
many unregulated divisions.
Legacy media means nothing, because the people in charge of those media companies don't exist there anymore. They are under new owners, managers, etc.
The media exists, but the legacy behind them, is long gone
The mainstream/legacy media is owned by the oligarchs. That's the answer!!!

I gave up after seeing the run-up to the Iraq war
It's been awful for so goddamn long...
These guys can.
It's autopilot screening even dumb conservatives have learned to hack through practiced affects.
Once is a mistake, twice is coincidence, countless times for years on end despite endless debunking and complaining....well, that's more than just a pattern, isn't it?

podcast recently which is listened to by millions. Today on a different pod they interviewed an open and unapologetic fascist. These guys are a cancer, not objects of fascination.
They certainly know their editorial choice to turn NPR we listeners pay for into Inskeep/Rufo etc’s amplifier de facto collaborates w atavistic far right.
Cui bono?

If NPR is doing the same North Korean cabinet stuff we see elsewhere shut it down
Back to Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent”. Deference to power.
He won, so that makes him legitimate, regardless of what he is doing or saying. Can’t question that fact.
Not really the red meat I want right now, ya know?
Bootlicker media?
But I don't think legacy media is up to that task, because they're easily swayed by logical fallacies and lies as long as they're delivered in a measured, professional tone.
But the truth is the interviewers are spineless and hired to be so, as corporate policy stresses that they are not allowed to be hostile with guests.
To suggest people weren't aware is naive and misleading.
It would be like asking Hitlers for his side of the story after finding out about the camps.
Virtually the whole of journos were, “those protesters don’t understand free speech.”
Will we ever get a mea culpa?
It’s a fantasy to believe the media wants truth, justice and the American way.
It's done.
How can we possibly be where we are in this country?!?!
Shun them.
And that she believes her audience is just as discerning.
No real push back. No challenging the status quo. No challenging those in power.
I don't have an answer, but it has been going on for a long time.
