The 4th estate is dying on the vine & well deserved. 2025 will B the yr. of canceling. Canceling MSNBC CNN WaPo NYT Amazon Twitter FB Instagram. If a couple pro democracy billionaires step in 4 alternatives it will B very lucrative 4 them.

Maybe they aren't falling in the trap so much as setting it.

zakwilliamswzw.bsky.social•68 days ago

I think you are giving them to much credit.

saschavykos.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't think you're giving them enough.

They're responsible for their actions, and this is not their first rodeo.

They don't have to be masterminds in order to be bootlicker, cowards.

It’s not a trap. It’s deliberate.

It’s why the billionaires bought out the legacy media. To control the narrative.

"The press is falling into the same trap...." At this point, I'm not sure it is a trap. Falling into a trap implies lack of agency. I just don't think that's the case this time around. It looks more like an intentional framing bias. And it probably was back then as well.

The press is delivering those tax cuts to their corporate overlords.

Wall Street, corporate media, along with milionaires and billionaires, enjoyed the Trump first administration tax breaks. These same selfish entities want another tax break off of the backs of the middle class and poor.

Of course, nothing else matters!

Sorry Zak. You did not have to write that many paragraphs to describe the current state of the MSM because the first two paragraphs describe the core problem with the MSM. The view from nowhere. AKA Alternate reality.

The press will never change. The fact that they scapegoated VP Harris' messaging and the voters for not being informed was proof. We watched them omit information, make false equivalencies, and quite literally played in our faces. They have no desire to report the news. They are manipulators too.

I'd say The press is failing with the same tactics as before...

Thats called being complicit…

Has the press just become so lazy that they can't explain the reality of the situation about Cheney? Or are they just trying to give 🍊what he wants: zero accountability for whatever he says?

zakwilliamswzw.bsky.social•68 days ago

There are 2 kinds of reporters, dumb and lazy, and most are both.

Not a trap. Again, stop cutting them slack. They are doing it willingly this time. They are 100% in on all of it. So long as clicks and eyeballs don't take a dive.

The Ivory Tower Media Executives wanted another Trump Presidency and they got it. However it's going to come at a high price. 48% of America wanted no part of this clown show. So good luck watching and reading about the gutter ratings you will have over the next 4 years. We are not coming back.

The press is not falling into this trap, the publishers and editorial bigwigs at each outlet are choosing this path. Reporters write stories they know can get published.
