drug, getting people addicted to chaos, hate, extreme views with the pretense they are just reporting the “news”, while ignoring the millions who will be losing their healthcare because the ACA subsidies will go away at the end of the year, the mass layoffs that have occurred from the dismantling of government programs, with inflation increasing, unemployment increasing behind the scenes,
endangering public heath with anti-science dribble and environmental protections. etc.

The media created trump, and have been manipulating the public and their views in the names of profits and the bottom line. Those WMDs that weren’t there still reverberate in the silence of a media that propagated that myth.

The outrage that the Biden “scandal” of being old was “worse than watergate” according to some in the press.

and we aren’t being manipulated by this nonsense?

where is the outrage that a hate monger is being elevated to “some kind of hero”, deserving of national honors? Or that a woman killed in an insurrection against the government is being given military honors, or those who took part in that insurrection have been given a full pardon.

Where is the outrage?

I won’t be a spectator of what some call the “news” in this country.
