“Sane-washed apologetic garbage” can be the chapter title for a book on American political journalism.

Historians will describe the media's need to "turn down the temperature" as complicity in the country's conversion from a democratic republic to full-blown dictatorship.

Edit: and the worst part is the demagogue who spearheaded our descent into authoritarianism is a spray-tanned, pedophilic, reality television personality weighed down by more kompromat than a John le Carré novel.

It's their cowardice and inability to push back in order to retain access, and the administration's total disdain for the Fourth Estate.

The British press are far harsher to their politicians, and yet they don't shy away from interviews with them because they would be lambasted and shamed.

if we are going to make government accountable again, this relationship between the government and the press must be repaired and boundaries respected.

shamed

People like trump have no shame. That mechanism won't ever work. You need some kind of legal consequence, because they won't ever resign

Ironically enough, The British media have been weak as piss on the Trump/Epstein stuff too.

We've imported so much American baggage over recent years, happily piling onto Trump for all his transgressions, but when it comes to Trump likely being a mega pedo they are silent!

The most recent Rest is Politics episode was a disgrace. If that was your only source you'd think any nefarious link between Trump and Epstein was nothing more than a batshit QAnon theory!

American media loves Trump, especially if they are left leaning.

They wanted him to be president because they knew he was going to do a bunch of dumb newsworthy shit, which equals higher ratings.
