So, the Republican Party is down with the KKK. The mask is off, isn't it?
Will the "liberal media" please catch up?
Good people on both sides...

I’d say so, yeah.
The liberal media are enablers, they're not going to catch up.
They basically help create the personas of these people to generate engagement. Obsessive liberal media coverage of Trump in January-March 2016 that immediately treated him as a frontrunner and amped up his persona. Coincidentally this was the coverage that Trump's base consumed for entertainment. Almost all the MAGA Trump video montages at the time were "shocked" liberal media personalities.
Agreed. There are still a few journalists with the clout to be able to ask difficult questions and hold the powerful to account but they're a dying breed. Most are shit scared of speak truth to power because they know they'll be denied access if they upset anyone. It's not journalism, it's stenography.
I think it's also the business model and decline of print media. News is now part of social media feeds competing with memes, internet drama, and friend's posting. Quickly consumable content that generates interaction is way more likely to succeed, etc.
I repeat, will the “liberal media” please catch up?
We’re gonna have a problem here.
the liberal media is too busy calling everyone who thinks a country shouldn't cut off food and water to civilians is a terrorist enabler....
