It must be a tough time to be a regime journalist. Corporate media went all-in to try and stop President-elect Donald Trump, and in the face of the best-funded propaganda machine in human history, voters rejected Democrats and the press, as if any semblance of a distinction remains, with massive Electoral College and substantial popular vote victories for the soon-to-be 47th president.
Legacy media outlets have been reeling for years due to their “ideology über alles” brand of reporting the news, with many companies laying off large swaths of their newsrooms. CNN finished 2024 with the smallest audience in the network’s 45-year history. Consistent as they are, albeit consistently nefarious, corporate journalists have predictably avoided any attempt at self-reflection, opting to repeat the unhinged behavior that sent their audiences running for the hills.
