Thanks for the 'good news' about so called 'journalists' but do you think if trump had 59% approval instead of 39% that these court jester, bobblehead, reporters - I really can't call them journalists in the real sense, since journalists are held to a higher standard. I understand the reluctance of highly paid talking heads wanting to get to the truth whe a fascist president and his mob of maga manics are pushing cultist lies continuously. What happened to the stories of the maga monster that killed one lawmaker and her husband in MN? Disappeared. Who is asking about maga cultist murderers?

Also, the likes of CNN and NYT are losing viewers and subscribers by the hundreds of thousands and are becoming irrelevant. Maybe the profits at all costs executives are seeing that lying and towing the trump line isn't helping their bottom line and people do not respect them now. Both CNN and NYT sanewashed trump and trashed Biden at every turn. I once watched CNN and subscribed to NYT, but no longer. Give me Jim Acosta (formerly CNN), and Paul Krugman (formerly NYT) on Substack any day. Lincoln Square as well!

But the talking heads like Collins, Joke Tapper, Hume, and so on will not be receiving ticker tape parades for broaching the truth on occasion. They greatly contributed to the mess we are in now. Eggs, eggs, eggs, and forget about job creation, lowering interest rates, and trade deals that kept goods in stores and prices within reach of most, along with rising wages. Corporate media remains a dumpster fire,and a few drops of rain will not extinguish the blaze of lies, misinformation, trump sanewashing, and false equivalency that turned once respected organizations into Prava like entities of propaganda. I am not ready to forgive and forget the damage these organizations have caused to the truth, democracy, the rule of law, the Constitution, and their own supposed profession.
