Many of you are finally figuring out that Trump's future consists of bankruptcy and prison, not some comeback. If you look back, you see he's been on this path for a year now. Yet the media fed you fictional "Trump 2024" hype the entire time. You should be outraged at the media.
Every major media outlet and pundit – left, right, or center – knew this was where things were heading with Trump. It’s been clear since well BEFORE HE LOST, that if he did lose, New York would do this to him. There was no other path Trump could end up on.
Yet because the media knew that it might take some time to get to this point, and that you’d grow impatient hearing every day about how we were gradually moving to this point, the media instead made up a more ratings-friendly fictional version of the story in the meantime.
The point is not to simply criticize the mainstream media. We need the media. But we need the media to be honest with us about where things are heading. It’s not okay when the media feeds us fiction aimed at keeping us tuned in. We simply need to demand better of the media.
