His rant legitimizes everything I've said since 2016.
Broadcast Media is complicit in the right, and in Trump.
During the election they gave him tens of millions of dollars of free coverage/advertising that no other candidate got.
They have always treated him with soft hands, never pushing or fact checking like they would anyone else.
Miss democratic events to attend Trumps bullshit, then claim democrats don't hold enough events.. That they actively don't cover and report on.
It has a vested financial interest in the right wing, and in Trumps presidency, because they constantly create controversy which drives viewership.
How many times did you hear about what Biden had done outside of Republican false hysteria? About his policies? About the good his policies could do, or did do, for the American people? About the support his policies, and he himself had? I bet you dont even need a full hand to count the times.
How many times has Trump been in the news? Republicans? How many times do they just let them come on, spout their raw, bullshit propaganda and lies completely unchallenged? Treating them like their disgusting, immoral bullshit is just as valid and just as important as any actual crisis facing the actual, everyday American public? Almost every time they are on Camera.
Broadcast media in America has betrayed the people, betrayed the country, and betrayed their duty to their journalistic ethics. And for what? Ratings. Ratings. Ratings and corporate access/power. The journalists on the street, and in the studios, Sold their integrity for the benefit of the powers above them rather than investigating it and revealing it.
