The press loves Trump because he's such a volatile madman, he's certain to bring them viewers and readers. Ultimately, it's the press who have destroyed America. Profit over people. None of them have a sense of honor or duty. They are not legitimate or honest. Independent journalism is the only way to go now. Where did integrity go? :(

"The press loves Trump because he's such a volatile madman."

Indeed.

Imagine, though, if a madwoman came to the fore. They'd tear her apart.

No doubt you’re right. The sexism in this country (and evidently in France) is appalling.

Reagan ended the fairness doctrine. You can trace the devolution of our main stream media to that. Between that and Citizens United, we’re in big big trouble.

Why ARE you up at 3am? 😂 And yes...I agree. Especially in our current day. Although I will say my dad was a newspaper man and I remember him always being very strict about facts. I think he was shocked when I had my ad agency, because while I made sure to be truthful, we were selling stuff! It seemed to be offensive to him...but he wasn't paying my rent, sooooo....

They live him because he increases ad revenue and they’re no more than a tabloid publication like The NY List with click bait headlines, just as has been WaPo. Cancelled both my subscriptions. I depend on Substack, BlueSky, MediasTouchNetwork and LegalAF other independent writers to keep us informed.

It went to the freaking bank, evidently.
