The phrase "you don't hate the press enough" has become an evergreen statement on the right. Just when you think our stalwart journalistic class has reached the bottom and can't possibly get any worse, they set down their beers and shout, "Watch this." Over and over, the Overton window is shifted further into unimaginable absurdity, and the last few days have been no exception.
As RedState reported, a Joe Biden-appointed judge recently sentenced the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to only eight years in prison, far undershooting the statutory norms and forgoing the Department of Justice's request for 30 years behind bars to deter future bad actors. She did so not out of some deep respect for precedent or the law, but because the assailant now claims to be "transgender."
In perhaps the most stunning courtroom commentary I've ever seen, Judge Deborah Boardman used a sentencing hearing to chastize the DOJ for not putting a man in a women's prison while outright celebrating an attempted murderer's "transgendermism." She went so far as to suggest that the infraction was a good thing because it allowed the "Ms. Sophie Roske" to be accepted for "who she is."

The sentence also includes a lifetime of court supervision. “I am heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roske family… accept their daughter for who she is,” Judge Boardman said of the convict’s mom affirming his gender identity.

The judge implied that his mom was responsible for her son's murderous rampage because Roske's "parents struggled to reconcile her sexuality with their religious beliefs." That's not too different than Roske's justification for plotting to kill Kavanaugh:his views necessitated it

In light of that absolute insanity, how did the press respond? By changing their prior reporting to now address Roske as a "woman."

Here was NBC News' headline about the same man just a few months prior, and to be clear, every single other mainstream news outlet did the same thing. From CBS News to CNN, to The New York Times, they are all now describing Roske as a woman after previously correctly describing him as a man.

We are living in George Orwell's 1984: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Not that it would matter because appearances do not dictate biological reality, but Roske doesn't even attempt to present as a woman. He's a tall man who speaks in a deep, booming voice. Yet, the press will still tell you he's a woman because they value the left-wing delusion of transgenderism over objective truth. Not to be too cliche, but if they'll lie to you about something that obvious, what else are they lying to you about? That's rhetorical, but I think it illustrates not just the crisis of credibility within the press, but the total collapse of it.
For another example, let's take a jaunt across the pond.
On Thursday, a man rammed into Jews outside of a Synagogue in Manchester, United Kingdom, before springing from the vehicle to begin stabbing them. Multiple people were murdered as a result of the attack. It was later revealed that the killer was a former migrant from Syria named Jihad Al-Shamie, and that he carried out the attack to make Jews "cower."

How did Good Morning Britain cover it? By claiming that "we don't know his motive or religion."
A man named “Jihad” from Syria ran over and stabbed Jews on Yom Kippur.

Good Morning Britain: "We don't know his motive or religion.”
You can’t parody these people. Nor can you deter their societal suicide. The UK remains cooked.

Yes, we may never know the religion or motive of the guy from Syria named Jihad who attacked Jews on Yom Kippur and told us he did it to make them cower. It is unfathomable how far down the rabbit hole the mainstream press has gone, both in the United States and in other Western nations. I'm convinced people like this could be lined up against the wall by murderous terrorists, and they'd still be using gender-affirming pronouns and apologizing for their own perceived bigotry.
What you are seeing is mental illness. It is a collective psychosis that insists truth does not exist in favor of the deranged musings of their favored distortion of reality. We are well past the "preferred narrative." This isn't about political convenience because there's no political convenience in defending an Islamic terrorist or playing to the tiny minority of people who believe an attempted assassin's sudden conversion to "transgenderism" just in time for his sentencing should be affirmed. No, we are dealing with truly unhinged individuals, and they hold some of the most influential positions in society.
And don't kid yourself. As bottom of the barrel as this current moment may feel, the press will find a way to get even worse. Believe that.
