The media spun everything they could to drag Kamala across the finish line including an unbelievably ridiculous last minute poll that had Iowa swinging to Harris. The third Obama administration ended not with a bang but with a whimper with Kamala passed out on the floor hugging that box of wine.
So now we have the Dems committing seppuku, anonymously and off the record of course to any outlet admitting that yeah Biden was brain dead, Kamala was a joke and yeah we screwed the pooch. So now we have the likes of Jake Tapper cashing in on a Now It Can Be Told/Sold tome that admits the media was lied to by the Dems. Ha. Oh that’s rich, you were lied to and not the ones doing the lying.
Never forget what Obama aide Ben Rhodes said about today’s media landscape:
“All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

It was nice to see CBS News itself did not ignore the disgraceful settlement its parent company made with Trump.
Anchor John Dickerson addressed the issue in a closing monologue on its nightly show and what it portends for the network and beyond, calling it an "obstacle" to journalism and a problem of trust.
It was an amazing final comment and I wonder how it went over with those in charge of the place. But at least they let him say his piece and you could tell he was not pleased.
You catch watch it here.

Sorry. Had my VPN on. If you have one and can set it to the U.S., it's worth a watch.

Trump is far more mentally unstable and suffering from so many personality disorders that books will be written about him. He's obese, he had several incidents where during his campaign run he mentally checked out and just started dancing on the stage and yet the only place that really covered it was SNL. Yes, SNL. Don't tell me bullcrap about them hiding Biden's issues when Trump has been protected non-stop during his campaign because the various broadcasters and newspapers were either owned by right-wing billionaires who have a vested interest in stopping the increases in taxes that billionaires would pay under a Harris government, or desperate to get ad dollars from Republican candidates. Again, you want to believe that bull, go ahead and keep listening to morons like Joe Rogan, but Trump is the one that has serious mental deficiencies and that's where the media has utterly failed (except 60 Minutes).

Now that the owner of CBS has acquiesced to Trump in a case he couldn't possibly win in court to keep a business merger alive, there are questions about the future of the Orangeman's critics. For example, Jon Stewart, whose Daily Show commentaries are constantly on the U.S. President's case. His show is owned by the apparent soon-to-be new bosses.
Once the merger goes through, as is now expected thanks to the "bribe" being paid, will that show - and that host - survive, despite a recent ratings boost? Stewart speculates.
“They haven’t called me and said like ‘Don’t get too comfortable in that office, Stewart.’ But let me tell you something, I’ve been kicked out of shittier establishments than that. We’ll land on our feet.”

As I posted in the other thread:

Paramount owns CBS and Comedy Central. The new incoming ownership has made it clear that they want to remove what they call the liberal taint from their purchase. Paramount currently employs Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Their futures are now uncertain.
The rich don't want a left-leaning show that criticizes their political party and points out the idiocy of the right-wing.
