The problem is the Media, who not only don't do their jobs, they don't even know what their jobs are. They seem to think they exist to be a platform for MAGA to spew their nonsensical propaganda without challenge.
For instance, HitlerPig has been saying in EVERY interview that he has brought gas prices down to $1.98. That is an absolute lie, there is not a single place in America selling gas for $1.98, but not one journalist has pushed back on that - Where? Which state? Which oil company? If it's $2 in some places, why isn't it $2 everywhere?
That's just one obvious one. When he and the El Salvador dictator were in the Oval office, both blaming the other for not being able to return the innocent deportee, not one journalist said ”EVERYBODY in the world who could make this decision is sitting in this room, literally next to each other. Why can't you look at each other and commit to returning him, instead of just emptily blaming the other?”
When Ron Navarro was on Meet The Press the week following the revelation that the sole source for trade info in his books was an anagram of his own name, she never asked him about it a single time. It would have the ONLY thing I would have talked about.
I see it over and over and over. The media simply refuse to ask the hard-hitting questions about their self-serving deals or destructive policies. I constantly yell at journalists to ask specific questions, follow up on obvious bullshit answers, demand sources for lies, etc., but they don't seem to hear me through the TV.
