2/ Tucker's right to point out that this means that the media are acting in a way hostile to your interests. It is now glaringly obvious that they gleefully lie and misrepresent reality. If they do so when their job is to report the truth, they have contempt for you.
3/ Let's be clear. Of course you've known for a long time that left-wing reporters are hostile to conservatives. That's not the point. The point is that they will openly misrepresent reality if it serves them. The mask was hanging by a thread, but it is completely off now.
4/ They're propagandists. Now, regular journalists are just following the crowd. "There's nothing there," all their colleagues say, and in this insane climate, even if they think something terrible is going on, who's going to step out of line? No one. They're herd animals.
5/ But that sort of irrational, vicious crowd behavior is what led to the greatest crimes on earth. I'm not saying journos are vicious criminals, I'm saying they have become a vicious, unprincipled crowd. And that crowd, taken all together, is dangerous.
6/ If they're covering this up, what else have they covered up? I'm sure you can think of lots; I can.

Take a step back. Isn't it time to lose the illusion that they're just presenting a "slanted" version of reality? No: they're hiding reality. So many examples now, it's crazy.
7/ So, folks, we've got to stop using them and start relying more and more, as much as we can, on the new alternative media sources. I've discovered many of them are not bad, and seem less partisan and more serious than they were when they first launched.
8/ I do not mean we should lower standards. I am saying we should raise standards. Don't believe conservative reporters and pundits just because you think you agree with them. Taken to an extreme, that would involve you in the same evils that afflict the MSM. So check 'em out.
9/ What we really need is a neutral press. I have yet to see a single news story about the Biden mess that fully and sympathetically elaborates both perspectives about it (even if one side involves little more than sticking fingers in ears and saying "la la la I can't hear you").
10/ I *don't* like that I have to go to openly partisan news sources in order to learn basic facts hidden by the other side. We should expect better. Democracy will die without neutrality. It is that important. I explained why five years ago, here: https://ballotpedia.org/Why_Neutrality
