I guess that can happen when you are the only major outlet that is speaking pretty straightforwardly and not sugarcoating crimes.

I knew the current season of the reality show that is US politics would be a ratings hit.

They have now stripped it of all the boring stuff (you know, actual governing, passing laws and shit) and we can just focus on all the important stuff.

Criminal ex-president running for reelection being charged with, literally hundreds of crimes is still important stuff.

And if my statement was only true for that issue, I would not have said it.

This has been going on and getting worse for years/decades now.

And the trial will only make it worse (I am not against the trial, just how it will be reported).
