    Sanewashing Trump while seeking to nitpick every tiny detail of Harris’s platform to death is the exact same “both sides” bullshit from 2016. What’s different this time around is no one buys these outlets as some kind of Fourth Estate above it all. They’re looking for a gotcha answer, so they can put up a clickbait title attacking Harris and generate more clicks.

    Harris is not playing by their rules. Good for her.

      The actual journalist organizations out there are few and far-between.

      Your statement above is doubly apt. Murdoch wasn’t buying them as some kind of 4th estate either ;-)
