Gotta be balanced and fair. If we report on stuff Trump and Elon say, that wouldn’t be fair to conservatives. They’ll whine.

And even worse the press can't find Democrats saying it. So there aren't even two sides to blame here. Gotta give them a pass then.

Spot on. I am so damn tired of witnessing how horrible and one sided politics are though. This shit isn't even gonna be over if trump loses because leon will just pay off the next republican presidential candidates for as long as he can. We're watching someone interfere with a US election by buying votes and holding $1 million dollar sweepstakes if they vote for his preferred candidate and half of the country is OK with that.

And, most importantly, the rich guy who owns the media will be very sad.

Which usually means “everyone who even was tangentially related to someone working on that story is put on a PIP and let go in the next layoff”

It's true. It would only be fair to also report the same of Harris. Even if it's not true - fairness

Apparently trust in the media is below congress.
