This conversation between journalists @Isikoff & @BarryMeier -- about the latter's new book on how private spies exploited gullible media (including Isikoff) -- to spread the Steele Dossier Fraud (and other scams) -- is fascinating (start at 22:00):
Meier is a long-time NYT journalist, someone most definitely not with the MAGA agenda. Yet as Isikoff points out, his book is covered only by right-wing media -- Tucker, WashExaminer, etc. He explains it's because CNN/MSNBC, others won't confront their failures or hear dissent.
Watch this clip, where Isikoff asks Meier about how only right-wing media will acknowledge his book, and how he feels about that.
Meier says that as a journalist, his only interest is having people hear his truthful reporting, and it's not his fault CNN excludes dissent.

Think about the scam which corporate media outlets have perpetrated:
If you dissent from their orthodoxies and narratives, they blackball you, pretend your dissent doesn't exist: only head-nodding panels.
Then, if you speak to outlets that allow dissent, it's deemed immoral.
