If the past year has confirmed anything it is that the mainstream media is thoroughly dishonest. Yes, most people already suspected this, but the last 12 months have provided more confirmation than the past several years combined. 2021 has made it clear that the mainstream media is a propaganda arm of political and corporate elitists, from big government to big pharma.
While there have been a few shining examples of independent and mostly unbiased journalism in the MSM, these moments are as rare as Loch Ness Monster sightings and almost as unbelievable. The public has been lied to so consistently that sometimes we ignore legitimate journalism when it pops up because it's safer to assume the media is disingenuous at all times.
I've personally noticed a wash of commercials lately paid for by major legacy media platforms like the
New York Times desperately trying to convince the public that they are still relevant. The message is that they are the only "true source" of news information while they beg people to start subscribing and reading their hot garbage once again. Leftist media is crumbling, with online propaganda peddlers and click-bait prostitutes like Buzzfeed and
Vox imploding. The lack of profits is obvious and the layoffs have been aggressive.
Comment: Finally, a breath of sanity. While the organization hasn't wholly closed the doors to the gender dysphoric (female-to-male trans and nonbinary being considered 'case by case'), the safeguarding of young girls still seems to be paramount. Excellent news. Hopefully they will be able to hold the line.
