It’s so depressing that we’re back in the place where news cycles consist of Trump does horrible thing --> media resorts on horrible thing --> opinion media questions whether the original reporting contained a sufficiently outraged tone and whether not doing so is itself harmful --> Trump does new and worse horrible thing. Not to say that any of this is the wrong reaction, I just thought my days of getting sucked into these news cycles was over and it’s depressing that we’ve got a year more of this shit again, like some shitty deja vu. At least it’ll only be a year, cause either Biden will win or Trump will win and abolish the press, either way it’ll be over by 2025.
