The Atlantic has posted one of the most absurd articles about the media you'll ever read.

It features Jim Acosta, Olivia Nuzzi, et al. dusting off their 'serious journalist' hats so you'll take them seriously again as they *DON'T COVER* Biden.

Not going to happen! [Thread]đź”»
The article is revealing in the sense it admits these "journalists" have not been practicing journalism at all during the Trump years.

All it takes is basic reading comprehension to get past the glowing prose to realize this is not so much a panegyric as a confession of guilt.
"Should the press strive for a similarly adversarial relationship with Biden? Will their new fans revolt *IF THEY START* doing tough stories on Democrats? And has the bar for presidential conduct been so lowered that *ANY CRITICISM* of Biden will look like both-sides nitpicking?"
“I don’t think the press should be trying to whip up the Biden presidency and turn it into must-see TV in a contrived way." — Veteran TV newsman with salt-and-pepper hair Jim Acosta

So, wait... you were trying to make Trump stories into "must-see TV in a contrived way"?🤔
"The default skepticism toward government officials, the aversion to euphemism, the refusal to accept approved narratives—to Alcindor, these are features of a healthy press, not signs that something is amiss." — Yamiche Alcindor

The "approved narrative" is 95% anti-Trump!
"Daniel Dale... says his beat will necessarily expand come January. 'It will not be a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week job to fact-check Biden"...

Biden is a serial liar, plagiarist & gaffe machine. We all know this. And CNN needs to try checking its own stories for 'disinformation.'
In sum, there is no taking back the journalistic malpractice of the Trump years. The trust is broken.

"Fact-checking" is "truth burying." It's not "truth to power," it's "lies for power."

The mainstream media is a 24/7 pro-Democrat propaganda machine & there is no going back.
