    The impunity this guy has is fucking bonkers. Anyone with half as much legal or financial problems would have their asses handed to them. If that’s not privilege I don’t know what it is.

    The obvious and blatant dip in journalistic quality in the last decade is concerning. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that MSM is intentionally creating logical and factual discrepancies in order to sow discord between the working class. But I think it’s just as time goes on, journalists and editors are just getting progressively dumber.

      'Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.’

      The News Industry is profit driven just like all the rest. I wouldn’t point blame journalists for being dumber when it’s just as likely that it’s management pushing for more content with quicker turn around times.

      Long term investigative journalism is expensive and the output is still only one article. From a profit prospective, why not spend the same investment in puff pieces to produce a dozen articles written to drive engagement.
