Yeah at this point I’m surprised how news organizations can still be on X

Why? The people left on there are the ideal target audience for propaganda, plus if it gets them clicks (=money) which is what they're in the business for, why would they walk away? Expecting ethics in journalism under capitalism is futile (sure, individual ethical journalists exist, but they aren't the ones we're talking about nor do they represent the industry).
