Hey, I get it. The truth is the First Amendment is there to protect the media, not the democracy. So, we have to live with that for sure.

I have tried to think of ways we might be able to "encourage" the media to behave like I want them to. I was thinking a five or ten year suspension of "The Fourth Estate" privilege might do it. You know, sort of re-train them on how NYT can cover stories without actually CONSPIRING with WaPo to withhold facts, then give them a probation period.

While I'm on it, though, I feel I should point out that Mark Zuckerberg dumping $426 million into swing states -- there is nothing to see there.

And the weaponization of Covid to make fast, under-the-table changes to the election laws in the swing states was perfectly acceptable. They were protecting us from Covid, even if it did corrupt the hell out of the vote. We'd rather have people alive than a fair election, so it had to be done.

All in all, there is little room for criticizing any of it.
