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? :(

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.

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.
