To me the media's biggest sin for 10 years has been to keep alive the meme that Trump is a "strongman", has an "iron grip" on the GOP, and that politicians and others "cower" to him or "bend the knee." The fact is that Trump is a weak coward. One who always backs down the few times he's truly confronted (e.g. the Jeffrey Clark debacle). GOP politicians aren't afraid of him, but of each other, and of the voters. While those politicians and other protectors (the billionaire "bros," authoritarian propaganda media, etc.) who are not necessarily "afraid" of anyone, are either shameless opportunists or rabid authoritarians who see him as their perfect "useful idiot." It's not strength, it's weight. On the backs of the addicted "masses" who, little by little, will feel the pain of "be careful what you ask for.
Also, how much money the administration is making since the election vs the voters, in easy to understand terms, like “how many stimulus checks could Trump personally send out with the money he made from his meme coin in 1 day” - is that really how any of that works? No, but they can explain that this time.

Paul Krugman retired from NYT, maybe he'd be looking for a gig for pin money?
