Summary
MSNBC, CNN, and major newspapers like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times are softening their once critical stances, citing fear of retribution, business pressures, and audience polarization.
This shift has drawn backlash, with critics warning that neutrality risks undermining journalistic integrity in the face of Trump’s autocratic tendencies.
Meanwhile, Fox News is thriving, reaching record ratings.
As the media faces dwindling resources and public trust, experts argue it must choose between challenging authoritarianism or losing credibility entirely.
Get ready for China-level misinformation.
Oh so you think it will get better? 😋
I’m pretty sure China doesn’t have the amount of misinformation Americans are exposed to.
Chinese misinformation is much more focused, and not all over the place, not even Chinese propaganda or people likens Xi to a God reborn, as Christians do with Trump.
The misinformation is more like North Korea. With the difference that in USA the real information is also available. Which is why only about half the US population fall for it, where in North Korea it’s probably 80-90%
The American media have failed completely, normalizing Trump and normalizing crazy like denial of scientific facts and normalizing malignant narcissism.
Get that fifty cents!!
