“The great defect of even the fact-based media today is their refusal to accept responsibility for the effects of the content they produce.”

They accept responsibility, and then do the same thing over again, and expect a different result. Rinse, lather, repeat!

Perfect example: The NYT’s run up to the Iraq war; selling a manufactured crisis. They apologized after the fact, but we’re enablers from the start.

Then with Trump. Wall to wall coverage, free media, and treating him like a normal candidate until he won, they they apologized, and here we are.

Same goes for the MSN! We constantly hear about Biden’s age ad nauseam, while saying little about Trump’s age. It’s almost as though the corporate stooges and executives want Trump to win because he’s good for business and sells advertising; even though he’s a nightmare for America!
