I just want to note, the "media" is not a singular entity. But part of the problem and why I shit so much on the NYT is it, unfortunately, shapes a lot of national discourse. It's what many national outlets measure themselves against and that's the problem. It warps people's minds.

if you remember the collective media freak out about biden's age, clinton meeting on an airline tarmac, the afghanistan withdrawal and biden's press conference schedule -- when the msm wants to make big noise about something theyre more than capable.
when they don't -- its a choice.

Local pays worse (usually) than national "print news" which pays less than cable news. The people who get paid the most generally are cable news (local TV is absolutely trash pay often)
I don't know a ton about local TV news stuff (the print/TV divide is enormous) but it's just as bad is my understanding.
The all controlling media.
I can't even get my parents to read my work 😂 When I worked at NYT my dad looked me dead in the eye once and was like "your job seems miserable"
