I don't know if it's my imagination, but I don't think so. [View all]

Does anyone think the media has gone from bad to worse since the Charlie Kirk murder? They seem to be not even bothering to do "both sides" anymore. It's just RW spin and "leftist" bashing 24/7.

Of course there are exceptions, but as a whole, I think they are scared. I think the Dowd firing spooked them from the beginning.

Worse, it seems to be seeping into their coverage on other topics. They tiptoe around the Lisa Cook firing and how she did not do what they claim by saying it's "disputed", even though she has shown proof and the administration hasn't. They don't even mention Epstein anymore. They cover the Hyundai debacle as though it were a simple case of immigration enforcement without mentioning that it has caused an international controversy that will probably cause economic hardship in THIS country. Little mention of the Russian drones attacking a Nato ally. I could go on and on.
