Your source to mainline mainstream media misdeeds and malarky.
The huge news this week concerned The Trial of the Century!!!
And then…it didn’t. After weeks of just rapturous coverage in anticipation that Dominion Voting Systems was going to bring down FoxNews in a defamation lawsuit, an 11th-and-a-half-hour settlement was reached between the parties. The collective howl heard across the media landscape was deafening. CNN, unsurprisingly, had the most antagonistic coverage. Oliver Darcy, seeing months of pre-written anti-Fox newsletters go up in flames, was clearly bothered.
His former “boss,” Brian Stelter, is also off balance, as his podcast, new column, and recently-announced book deal were going to focus on the trial and thus, it’s all compromised now. Worst of them all, however, was Jake Tapper, resorting to a sneering and mocking delivery of the statement from Fox, his condescension dripping from the TV screen as he pretended his own network did not recently settle its own defamation suit.
Adding to the melodrama, we have the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) getting upset and quitting Twitter over being labeled “Government-funded Media.” (Maybe having the leader of your government coming out to defend you hurts your argument just a touch.)
And lastly, we have Axios writing not only in favor of Bud Light, but accusing anyone who switches their beer consumption of wanting to harm transgender individuals. Amazingly, this is true.
Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.
