I think this is an important question to consider.

Somehow the media manages to be the f**king worst at everything. They breathlessly cover lunatics like Trump and now MTG, giving them attention that they really shouldn't be getting. And it's more "mainstream" outlets that do this, not just Fox/Newsmax/OAN.

There's also the constant doom-mongering about everything COVID (spreading b******t about how "We DON'T kNOW iF THE vaCcINEs wORK" when they very clearly do to great effect, and it's not just Tucker who says this) and unfairness in reporting it. Contrast their worship of Cuomo with the demonization of DeSantis. Which governor has by far the higher per capita death rate?

I hate the media so much. They are enemy of the people. I don't know what the solution is, but they are destroying our country and must be stopped.

The irony is that you sound like a Trumpist here.

Perhaps. But that shows how strongly I feel about this. And as I said, my feeling towards the media stem in part from how they've covered Trump and led to his rise. And now they're not only continuing to cover him despite him being a loser who left office in disgrace, but they've been repeating it with their coverage of MTG.
