Chris Hayes sums it up

[W_HAMILTON]

13. For most of the media, they are happy """being used""" because it is the same narrative they would manufacture anyway.

Just look at the Terry Moran/ABC News story.

If it wasn't obvious already, the sheer number of so-called """journalistic""" organizations that have been all too willing to kowtow to this fascist administration should be an eyeopener for everyone.

Referring only to the big national/international media types in this country, you literally need no more than one hand to count the number of those with integrity and that actually adhere to true journalistic standards anymore. So many have shown just to be servants to their rightwing corporate/political overlords, whether it be NYT, WAPO, LA Times, CNN, CBS, ABC -- the list goes on and on.

They have shown us who they are.

Instead of constantly attacking our Democrats for being """poor at messaging""" when these are the sorts of biased filters all their messages are being run through, maybe we should start putting pressure on the media, just like Republicans have done so successfully in recent decades...
