Watching the same media people who spent 4 years claiming the Kremlin had infiltrated and taken over the US now sanctimoniously mock conspiracy theories is exactly like watching Gavin "Dinner Party" Newsome and Nancy "Salon" Pelosi lecture & scorn people for COVID violations. https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1329802475189067777
Just like the Democratic Party refused any real self-critique after their defeat in 2016, the US media loves to complain that people don't trust them and turn instead to Fake News, but *never* ask whether their own behavior is a cause for why that is happening.
It's easy and fun to mock other people's conspiracy theories - a bit harder to confront the ones we ourselves spent years spreading, causing a further erosion of trust in people's ability to believe they're hearing truth from news organizations.
